An endless expanse of green blending into the sky. The scent of grass and Hay, of countless plants and various small flowers, of aromatic herbs and fields blowing in the wind, warmed by the sun. An evocation of simple, pristine nature.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of someone moving through a landscape before it has fully warmed up, when the air still carries crushed stems, damp grass and a faint herbal bitterness. It feels intimate but expansive, best worn when you want a clean, green presence that stays close to the skin while leaving a crisp trail.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its green notes can stay bright without turning heavy. Apply lightly to pulse points or clothing for a clearer herbal lift; on skin it reads softer and more tea-like, while in the air the galbanum and cut-grass facets feel sharper and more expansive.
Who it’s for
For wearers who prefer green, herbal and tea-driven fragrances over sweetness or florals. It suits those drawn to naturalistic compositions, dry freshness and a quietly intellectual, outdoorsy style.

The nose
Lorenzo Villoresi is the founder and in-house perfumer of the Florentine maison that bears his name, and Yerbamate reflects his hands-on approach to composition. Trained in philosophy and shaped by travels and study of raw materials, he is known for fragrances that feel like imagined landscapes rather than literal reproductions. His style often privileges natural materials, texture and atmosphere, with a particular sensitivity to herbs, woods, resins and spices. In Yerbamate, that sensibility becomes a crisp green accord that feels airy, tactile and quietly meditative, in line with his broader work across perfumes, candles and home fragrance.
Lorenzo Villoresi’s story
Lorenzo Villoresi is a deeply artisanal Italian house built around creative freedom, high-quality materials and an in-house approach to making. Its perfumes tend to read as sensory journeys, drawing on memory, travel and atmosphere rather than trend-driven formulas.
Yerbamate’s concept
Yerbamate was conceived as an image of endless green: grass, hay, aromatic herbs, small flowers and sun-warmed fields stretching toward the sky. The fragrance translates that pastoral idea into a fresh green aromatic composition centered on mate tea, tea notes and galbanum, with a natural, unforced character.
Extra info
Yerbamate is one of Lorenzo Villoresi’s green signatures and is built around mate tea rather than a conventional citrus opening. The house presents it as an evocation of simple, pristine nature, with an emphasis on natural green materials and a field-like atmosphere.
