An extraordinary adventure into the mysterious world of travel begins! The perfumers who created the unique fragrance Theseus named it after Theseus, the legendary hero of Ancient Greek myths and legends. Rich with various shades of the most incredible scents, Theseus evokes the captivating and beautiful tale of adventures and journeys across distant seas and lands in search of the magical Golden Fleece.
The Theseus fragrance is multifaceted, filled with diverse nuances. It bursts forth, quiets down, and then regains strength, unfolding and pulsing on the skin throughout the day. It is a complex yet harmoniously composed fragrance. It is cool and refreshing, yet simultaneously warming. This effect is achieved through an unusual composition: flowers, citrus, and herbs generously seasoned with a handful of precious spices.
The stunning resonance of Theseus will appeal to both women and men!

Honestly, the scent is average... Something in between two ancient, even elderly fragrances: Hermes Caleche and Chanel #5... Nothing special, it's so sickeningly sweet that it makes me nauseous. I couldn't even detect any of the components... I'll go back to Cisley and Molecules. If you're under 70, I don't recommend this perfume.
Hello tiffany, thank you, I'm glad that the reviews were helpful, I tried my best :) You're right, Teint de Neige definitely stood out the most, then, although it may seem strange, this fragrance, and after that, although quite inconsistently, Erbamatte - they seemed the most interesting and unusual, unlike anything else. Another interesting one is Aura Maris, but it's so delicate, like a gentle breeze. I liked how the lemon came in, softly and transparently, but only for a short while. The most delicate lemon out of all the lemons I've heard in fragrances before. The other creations by Lorenzo Villoresi either resemble something previously "heard", or are almost like twins. I still have about 8 of his fragrances to test, but for now, I think I will pause. I will eagerly await your reviews, maybe I missed a masterpiece. I also got a sample of Maurer & Wirtz 4711 Acqua Colonia Juniper Berry & Marjoram - I really liked it, even though it seems masculine. To me, it's very much in the style of Lorenzo Villoresi, I just have to wait for the drydown, it's very nice, I haven't tried the other fragrances from this brand yet, but the names and ingredients (not to mention the price) are very intriguing. I left a review, it seems here too :).
Yes, and in the base it strongly reminds me of Eau Belle D'Azzaro, which also has prominent notes of cypress and cedar. It seems like Eau Belle D'Azzaro has been reissued, but unfortunately, it's not being imported to us. It's a shame because it was a very pleasant fresh fragrance for women, without all these initial twists from Lorenzo Villoresi. In general, I prefer fragrances where you don't have to wait for anything - you just "put it on" and you're ready to go.
The scent is definitely more masculine, but my mom, a big fan of Fahrenheit Dior (meaning she wears it herself), liked it the most out of all the fragrances from this brand. It starts off quite extravagant, I can hear dill and cardamom in it :) At this moment, it is the most "masculine", after which it softens and warms up, acquiring a floral component and becoming much closer to unisex. Overall, it's best to try the perfume before buying it, but it is beautifully crafted and definitely not ordinary.
