Mendittorosa Lacura is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Anne-Sophie Behaghel. Lacura opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, and Pear, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Neroli, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Powdery, Vanilla, and Clean Musk. Mendittorosa's Lacura carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This citrus-floral-gourmand hybrid is either a unique, underrated gem or a pleasant, if slightly unremarkable, daily driver. Don't expect a powerhouse, but do expect comfort and class.

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.

With its moderate performance and comforting, clean scent profile, Lacura is perfect for everyday wear and office environments where a subtle presence is preferred. It's too subdued for formal events and lacks the invigorating punch for sport.

About

Lacura opens with a bright, zesty burst of bitter orange and bergamot, softened by a sweet hint of pear. The heart blossoms with delicate neroli and orange blossom, lending a clean, subtly floral character. As it settles, a cosy, powdery base emerges, woven with creamy vanilla, a touch of warm caramel, and smooth cashmeran, all grounded by a sophisticated cedarwood and musk blend.
