A timeless classic in the world of perfumery, unmistakable and as beloved as the sun-drenched fields of Provence, with their endless purple and blue. A refined base of Lavender, citrus and Iris with spicy, Tonka and Laurel undertones.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a crisp shirt worn with intention, not polish for its own sake: quiet, upright and a little severe. It suits close conversation and unhurried daytime settings, where its herbal clarity and lavender dryness can register without becoming loud.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its aromatic top notes stay bright and its dry herbal core remains clear. Apply lightly to the chest or neck; a restrained dose gives the most elegant effect, as the fragrance is more about clean presence than heavy projection.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer lavender in a dry, classical register: aromatic, green, slightly spicy and unsweetened. It will appeal to wearers who like understated vintage structure, herbal freshness and fragrances that feel composed rather than soft or gourmand.
Release year
1996
The nose
Lorenzo Villoresi is the Florentine perfumer behind the house that bears his name, known for an artisanal, ingredient-driven style and a deep interest in scent as memory and narrative. His work often draws on travel, classical perfumery and richly textured natural materials, balancing elegance with a distinctly old-world sensibility. Wild Lavender fits that language well: it shows his preference for dry, structured compositions and for aromatic materials that feel composed rather than decorative. Instead of a sweet lavender accord, he frames the note with herbs, citrus and spice, giving the fragrance a stern, polished clarity that reflects his classical approach.
Lorenzo Villoresi’s story
Lorenzo Villoresi is an artisanal Florentine house built around craftsmanship, in-house production and a highly personal approach to scent. Its fragrances are conceived as emotional journeys shaped by memory, myth and travel, with a strong emphasis on natural materials, careful composition and timeless design.
Wild Lavender’s concept
Originally launched in 1996 as Inglese, the fragrance was later renamed Wild Lavender in 2005. It was created as a dry, herbaceous take on lavender, leaning into crisp green facets, citrus and spice rather than the sweeter style associated with many classic lavender perfumes.
Extra info
Wild Lavender was first known as Inglese, meaning "English," before taking its current name in 2005. It remains part of Lorenzo Villoresi's heritage-minded collection and is often noted for its stern, old-school lavender character rather than a plush floral one.
