by David Maruitte

Laboratorio Olfattivo Nerosa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by David Maruitte. The fragrance opens with Labdanum, Guaiac Wood, Saffron, and Nutmeg, and settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang.

Our verdict on Nerosa: Statement

Nerosa is a polarizing scent, with some hailing it as the 'best dark rose ever made' and others finding it too heavy and 'grandma musky'. It's a complex, woody-spicy rose that demands a test drive before committing.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its dense, woody-leather and rose accords, combined with a polarising scent profile, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its complex nature and dark rose character are ideal for evening dates or formal events where it can make a statement.

About

Nerosa opens with an intriguing blend of warm saffron, guaiac wood, and a hint of clove, immediately setting a rich, spicy tone. The heart softens into a heady rose intertwined with creamy ylang-ylang and delicate geranium, moving towards a prominent leather accord in the drydown. Underlying amber and woody notes provide a deep, resonant base, giving it a unique character that's both floral and robust.
