Laboratorio Olfattivo Need-U is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Marie Duchêne. Need-U opens with Lemon and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Sea Water and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Ambroxan. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Need-U carries a Favourite verdict, a musky-led wear.

Need-U is less of a perfume and more of a personal secret. It's a 'your skin but better' scent, so effortlessly clean and subtle it barely registers for some, making its poor performance a dealbreaker. But for those who get it, it's a quiet perfection.

Its extremely light projection and 'skin scent' nature make it perfect for office wear or casual settings where stronger scents might be overpowering. While some find it 'sexy' for dates, its limited longevity means it's best for close encounters or short activities rather than formal events.

About

Imagine a gentle sea breeze carrying whispers of jasmine, kissed by a fleeting hint of zesty lemon and the soft spice of pink pepper. This skin-scent settles into a dreamy, clean musk, underpinned by the airy warmth of ambroxan and a touch of powdery sandalwood. It evokes a feeling of fresh laundry and sun-warmed skin after a dip in the ocean.
