Laboratorio Olfattivo Nerotic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Cécile Zarokian. Nerotic opens with Red Fruits, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Geranium, Saffron, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Smoke, Woody Notes, Leather, and Amber. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Nerotic carries an Acquired verdict, an elemental-led wear.

Nerotic is a bold, dark journey that's not for the faint-hearted. It evokes strong reactions, with some finding it a gothic masterpiece and others battling headaches. Definitely try before you buy, it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent performance and deeply smoky, leathery accords make Nerotic unsuitable for office wear, where it could easily overwhelm. It shines brightest for evening dates and formal events, particularly in cooler weather, earning high scores due to its dark and sensual character mentioned in reviews.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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 an unexpectedly juicy burst of red fruits, quickly deepening into a rich, smoky leather. Saffron and coriander provide a warm, spicy heart that gives way to a lingering base of dark woods, amber, and a truly intoxicating smokiness. It's a complex, evolving fragrance that promises a dramatic olfactory story from start to finish.
