Laudano Nero

Laudano Nero by Tiziana Terenzi is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with absinthe, cognac, rosemary, tobacco, aromatic accord and amber, moves into rose, honey, cedarwood, iris, sandalwood and rosemary and dries down to incense, oud, vetiver, musk, oakwood and vanilla. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Absinthe Bitter wormwood and anise. Green, boozy and slightly wicked.
Cognac Boozy, fruity and warming. Richer and rounder than rum.
Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
Aromatic Accord Herbal freshness in the lavender and rosemary mould, blended into one impression.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.

Dry-down

Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Oakwood Dry, toasty barrel wood. Closer to a whisky cask than a forest.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
