1)Lorenzo Villoresi Musk
Lorenzo Villoresi Musk is one of the best scents in the world. I say this because this fragrance is clean. It is full of musk as one of the the base notes( a white musk for that matter).
There is also a sandalwood that is slightly creamy per se with a vanillic undertones. Is this perfume sweet? You may ask. It is sweet but the sweetness is rich and spicy.
It does not have the sweetness of some rose fragrances that we currently have on the market. Lorenzo Villoresi Musk‘s sweetness is different.
The Top notes are floral notes, Bergamot which is a fav for many, cardamom and Galbanum. You will also get hints of rose and Geranium-this is because these are the two middle notes. At the base, there is musk( obviously), Sandalwood, vanilla, Brazilian Rose Word , Oakmoss and Amber.

Sileage , Longevity and Performance of Lorenzo Villoresi Musk
What do you expect from a fragrance that has incorporated almost all the best earthy, woody and floral notes ? You get a master piece.
Lorenzo Villoresi Musk has a surprisingly outstanding 7-9 hours longevity. When you do compare this perfume with other colognes or perfumes with same notes, Lorenzo Villoresi Musk is by far much better when it comes to longevity.
