Laboratorio Olfattivo Nerosa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by David Maruitte. Nerosa opens with Guaiac Wood, Clove, Nutmeg, and Saffron, and settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Nerosa carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.
