for her
The unmistakable aroma of perfumed powders; the scent of face powder in a soft, gentle, enveloping fragrance. Subtly imbued with the richness of natural extracts from precious Rose, Jasmine and Ylang Ylang flowers to evoke the delicate beauty and femininity of the Belle Epoque.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The mood is quietly dressed-up: a moment at the dressing table before joining a small gathering, with a trace of scented powder still in the air. Its enveloping florals suggest deliberate grooming and unhurried conversation, with a vintage softness rather than a crisp, brisk presence.
How to wear
Its enveloping powder-and-flower profile lends itself to cooler days and mild weather. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the powdery opening to settle before adding more. In warm rooms, a lighter application keeps the cosmetic softness from feeling too dense; powder remains the central impression rather than a late drydown accent.
Who it’s for
For lovers of face-powder scents, vintage floral compositions and soft, enveloping textures. It particularly suits those who want powder to lead, with rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang providing richness beneath it, rather than those seeking sparkling citrus or a sharply transparent floral.

The nose
Lorenzo Villoresi is the founder and perfumer of his independent Florentine house. His work draws on raw-material exploration, travel and cultural history, with a richly textured style evident in fragrances such as Musk and Dilmun. For Teint de Neige, he studied historical cosmetic powders and shaped a composition whose powdery identity is apparent from the opening, rather than emerging only in the drydown.
Lorenzo Villoresi’s story
Lorenzo Villoresi approaches perfume as a personal craft informed by cultural curiosity, historical imagination and close study of raw materials. Founded in Florence in 1990, the house emphasizes in-house production and meticulous workmanship, favoring individual expression over conspicuous luxury.
Teint De Neige (EdT)’s concept
Teint de Neige grew from Villoresi’s fascination with rose-scented face powder and Belle Époque beauty. Art Nouveau sensuality and the women portrayed by Alphonse Mucha helped shape its imagery. Rather than simply reproducing an old cosmetic formula, he amplified the powdery character, placing it ahead of the flowers and sustaining it throughout the composition.
Extra info
The powdery effect was designed to be perceptible immediately, despite powder notes usually behaving like persistent base notes. Villoresi also connected the fragrance’s appeal with childhood memories of talcum powder, pairing a sense of comfort with sensuality.
