Laboratorio Olfattivo Nun is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Luca Maffei. Nun opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, and Pear, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Amber. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Nun carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A truly unique fruity-floral that balances sweetness with a dewy, aquatic freshness, Nun is a polarising scent. Some find it beautiful, clean and uplifting; others think it's too sweet, a bit flat, or even unpleasant on the drydown. Definitely not for a blind buy.

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.

Nun's fresh, clean, and moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. Its subtle charm and fruity-floral character lend themselves well to casual outings and summer days, but it might be too understated for more formal events.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Nun opens with a vibrant burst of juicy pear, zesty bergamot, and tart lemon, softened by delicate neroli, creating a sparkling, almost fizzy effect. The heart unfolds into a dewy, aquatic floral bouquet of luminous lotus, intoxicating jasmine, and creamy ylang-ylang, evoking a serene garden pond. A warm, clean base of musk and amber provides a subtle grounding, with a whisper of woody notes.
