Description

NEED_U by Laboratorio Olfattivo is a luminous, intimate fragrance that weaves sparkling citrus with a veil of marine and floral freshness. The scent opens with a bright burst of Italian lemon and a nuanced hit of pink pepper, instantly uplifting the senses. Its airy heart layers white flowers and jasmine (Hedione HC) over crystalline sea notes, evoking the sensation of soft coastal breezes mingling with pure florals. As it settles, clean white musk and smooth sandalwood embrace the skin, radiating modern sensuality that feels like a sophisticated second skin. Created by Marie Duchêne for unisex wearers.
