Miss_U
Miss_U by Laboratorio Olfattivo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot and mandarin, moves into cinnamon, sichuan pepper, ambroxan and oud and dries down to patchouli, vanilla and guaiac wood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
