Teint De Neige (Extrait)

All about this fragrance

Vibe check

It suits an unhurried evening spent in close conversation: soft fabric against the skin, a trace of cosmetic powder in the air. The sweet floral veil gives the wearer a composed, slightly theatrical presence, with intimacy rather than brisk freshness at its centre.

How to wear

Cool or mild weather suits its sweet, enveloping powder profile. Start with one light spray on the torso and assess before adding more; this concentrated version calls for restraint. Applying beneath clothing keeps the floral musk impression more intimate, while exposed skin lets it enter the surrounding air.

Who it’s for

For lovers of pronounced powder, vintage cosmetics and soft floral musks. Its jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang appeal to those who enjoy richly dressed florals, while tonka bean and heliotrope favour a taste for sweet, enveloping textures over sharp citrus or austere woods.

The nose

Lorenzo Villoresi. The independent Florentine perfumer approaches fragrance through raw-material exploration, travel and a sensitivity to memory and atmosphere. His compositions often build richly textured worlds rather than isolate a single ingredient. For Teint de Neige, he studied historical face-powder formulas, making the powdery impression apparent from the opening; the Extrait is the most concentrated expression of that fragrance.

Lorenzo Villoresi’s story

Lorenzo Villoresi treats perfume as a way to express memories, emotions and imaginary landscapes. Rooted in bespoke perfumery and raw-material research, the independent Florentine house combines in-house production with meticulous craftsmanship and understated presentation.

Teint De Neige (Extrait)’s concept

Teint de Neige draws on the scented face powders and sensual imagery of the Belle Époque. Villoresi connected the original composition with rose-scented rice and iris powders and the women portrayed by Alphonse Mucha. The Extrait carries that cosmetic atmosphere into the house’s most concentrated version, rather than introducing a separately documented creation story.

Extra info

The house labels this concentration “Perfume” and lists it separately from the Eau de Parfum. A 30 ml crystal-bottle presentation features a sterling-silver cap and label with a white velvet pouch. The powder inspiration also takes literal form in the collection’s scented body powder.
