Kamasurabhi, the “perfume of pleasure”: a kaleidoscope of fragrances and colours, an incredibly precious attar. Piercingly delicate Indian flowers, infused with the mysterious, seductive scent of a Sandalwood forest and exotic woods, with sensual, enveloping undertones of Leather, Amber and Musk.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and unhurried conversation, when the air is warm enough for flowers to bloom but not so hot that the woods lose their shape. It suits a wearer who likes their presence to unfold slowly: floral at first, then darker, softer and more textured as the evening settles in.
How to wear
Best worn in mild to warm weather, where its floral opening and sandalwood base can breathe without becoming heavy. Apply lightly at first; the EDT format gives a more diffused, wearable trail, while the oil version would sit closer to the skin and feel richer. One or two sprays are enough to let the leather, musk and woods emerge gradually.
Who it’s for
For lovers of floral-woody compositions with a sensual, slightly animalic edge. It will appeal to those who enjoy sandalwood, leather and musky depth, but want them wrapped in luminous Indian florals rather than in a dry or austere structure.

The nose
Lorenzo Villoresi is the Florentine founder of the maison and the nose behind Kamasurabhi, a perfumer known for building fragrances from travel, memory and carefully studied raw materials. His work often blends Eastern and Tuscan references into richly textured compositions that feel artisanal rather than trend-driven. Villoresi’s style is recognisable for its depth, naturalistic nuance and layered use of woods, resins, spices and florals. Kamasurabhi fits that approach closely: a sensual floral-woody composition shaped like an imagined journey, with sandalwood, leather and musk giving structure to its delicate Indian flower accord.
Lorenzo Villoresi’s story
Maison Lorenzo Villoresi is rooted in craftsmanship, cultural curiosity and a highly personal approach to perfumery. The house treats fragrance as an art of memory and travel, often drawing on Eastern and Mediterranean references while keeping the compositions tactile, textured and made with an old-world sense of care.
Kamasurabhi’s concept
Kamasurabhi was created as a tribute to pleasure and joy, its name drawn from Sanskrit and its character built around the idea of an enchanted passage through Indian flowers and woods. The composition pairs jasmine sambac, rose, orange blossom, tuberose and ylang ylang with a sandalwood forest accord, then deepens into leather, amber, musk and patchouli for a more intimate, animalic finish.
Extra info
Kamasurabhi means “perfume of pleasure” and is presented by the house as an attar-like creation. It is available in both Eau de Toilette and Oil Perfume, and the brand’s own description frames it as an “enchanted trip” through Indian colours and perfumes.
