About the brand
Laboratorio Olfattivo Fragrances
Laboratorio Olfattivo was created by Roberto Drago and Daniela Caon in 2009. Drago develops compositions with invited perfumers, while Caon is responsible for colour, bottle, and packaging. The catalogue is therefore united by a working method while preserving the differences between authors and fragrance ideas.
Cécile Zarokian's Nerotic combines citrus and red fruits with saffron, a dry woody-amber accord, sandalwood, leather, and smoke. Pierre Guéros's Nektar develops its honey theme through clary sage, bergamot, leather, olibanum, davana, cinnamon, vanilla, vetiver, and patchouli.
Luca Maffei's Sacreste is built around two incense materials. Labdanum, elemi, cardamom, and saffron create a resinous-spicy opening, while cypriol, pepper, cedarwood, guaiac wood, and musk develop the dry woody side. It differs from both the leathery, smoky Nerotic and the rounder honeyed Nektar.
Choose by authorial signature and compositional centre. Nerotic explores a dark woody-leathery direction, Nektar a honeyed-resinous one, and Sacreste an incense-and-woods profile. Wear them on different days and compare the base on skin as well as the opening notes.
