All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for someone who likes their presence to feel composed, slightly mysterious and never overly polished. It suits close conversation, open air and moments when a crisp, aromatic trail should suggest depth rather than announce itself.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its citrus-spice opening stays vivid and the leather-vetiver base remains airy rather than heavy. Apply a moderate hand; the scent is relatively restrained and benefits from a few sprays on skin or clothing if you want the dry, aromatic trail to last.
Who it’s for
For wearers who enjoy fresh spicy woods with a classical edge: citrus lift, aromatic herbs, incense, leather and vetiver. It will appeal to those who prefer elegant, slightly retro compositions with structure, dryness and a cultured, unisex profile.

The nose
Lorenzo Villoresi The founder of the house, Villoresi is an artisan perfumer known for building fragrances from a deeply personal, scholarly approach to materials, memory and travel. His work often balances Tuscan refinement with Middle Eastern warmth, using spices, resins, woods and classical structures to create scents that feel timeless rather than trend-led. In Theseus, that signature is clear: a composed, myth-inflected composition that opens with brightness and settles into a drier, more textured leather-vetiver accord. It reflects his taste for fragrances that read like narratives, with a sense of place, legend and cultivated restraint.
Lorenzo Villoresi’s story
Lorenzo Villoresi is an independent Florentine house built on artisanal craftsmanship, in-house creation and a strong sense of cultural memory. Its fragrances are conceived as imaginative worlds, drawing on myths, travel, noble raw materials and the dialogue between Tuscan heritage and Eastern influences.
Theseus’s concept
Theseus belongs to Villoresi’s Fantasy Fragrances universe and takes its name and atmosphere from Greek myth, evoking the hero’s journey through unknown seas and imagined lands. The composition is framed as a voyage: bright citrus and spices at the start, then woods, resins, leather and vetiver that give the scent its dry, adventurous finish.
Extra info
Theseus is part of Lorenzo Villoresi’s Fantasy Fragrances line and is presented in the house’s distinctive hexagonal bottle. The name and imagery reference the Greek hero Theseus, while the scent itself is described by the brand as a voyage toward mythical lands.
