An ancient ritual. The wonder of green, perfumed resin flowing from the tree. It is reminiscent of journeys along the perfume routes, of the magic of nocturnal ceremonies. Fresh, intense notes of Incense, Opoponax, Storax and Tolu.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close, attentive spaces: a dim room, a quiet gathering, the kind of evening where smoke, resin and skin warmth matter more than volume. It gives off a dry, contemplative presence, with a slightly antique character that feels composed rather than loud.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its resins and woods can open without becoming heavy. Apply sparingly, as the incense and myrrh have real presence; one or two sprays are enough to create a steady, intimate trail that stays close to the skin and softens into a powdery, woody haze.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like incense in a classical, resin-rich style rather than a minimalist smoky one. It will appeal to those drawn to vintage perfumery, dry woods, balsamic materials, and fragrances with a ritual, contemplative mood.
Release year
1997
The nose
Lorenzo Villoresi is the perfumer behind Incensi, and the fragrance reflects the house style he is known for: richly composed, artisanal, and built around natural materials with a strong sense of place and memory. Trained by travel as much as by study, Villoresi often works in a classical register, turning traditional themes into textured, highly detailed compositions rather than minimalist sketches. His perfumes frequently explore historical materials, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern references, and the atmosphere of ritual. In Incensi, that sensibility is especially clear: the scent treats incense not as a simple note but as a layered, ceremonial accord, resonant with resin, smoke, and dry woods.
Lorenzo Villoresi’s story
Maison Lorenzo Villoresi is an artisanal Florentine house built around craftsmanship, natural raw materials, and a deeply personal approach to perfumery. The brand is known for classical structures, generous compositions, and a strong connection to travel, history, and the sensory culture of the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
Incensi’s concept
Incensi was created as an evocation of ancient ritual and the perfume routes, with the image of green resin flowing from the tree and the atmosphere of nocturnal ceremonies. It belongs to Villoresi’s more classical, motif-driven work, where incense is treated as a living material rather than a solemn abstraction.
Extra info
Incensi was launched in 1997 and later returned in the brand’s Vintage Collection, which revived classic compositions at the request of devoted customers and professionals. The name points directly to incense, but the formula broadens the theme with opoponax, styrax and tolu for a more resinous, textured effect.
