Laboratorio Olfattivo Kashnoir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Cécile Zarokian. Kashnoir opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Heliotrope, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Kashnoir carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Kashnoir by Laboratorio Olfattivo is a divisive beast. Some adore its powdery, balsamic warmth, proclaiming it a modern classic with incredible performance. Others find it leans too much into baby powder territory or is simply a bit boring and indistinct - a clone of Shalimar, but not quite.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, bracing mix of lemon, bergamot, and herbaceous lavender, quickly giving way to a rich, complex heart of powdery rose, sweet orange blossom, and a surprising kick of coriander. The dry down is a luxurious, enveloping cushion of creamy vanilla, warm benzoin, and earthy patchouli, with a persistent whisper of heliotrope that contributes to its signature powdery finish. It's a journey from zesty freshness to opulent warmth.
