A nice window on leather
A well-made leather perfume, with an opening strongly characterized by the presence of red fruits, which remain in the background for a decente amount of time in the dry-down. This is a good entry perfume for anyone who wants to explore the leather note in fragrances, as it's not particularly demanding and can easily be worn by a woman (my wife loves it).

Certainly suitable for evening wear, avoid using it during summer: it simply would not be at its best.
I do not perceive it as particularly smoky, it is certainly not an overly smoky perfume.

Very good quality/price, I recommend purchasing the 30ml version available at around €60. Laboratorio Olfattivo confirms itself as an excellent brand for anyone who wants to take their first steps in the world of niche perfumery.

Z-O-R-N
Wrath, what a destructive sin.
Powerful and mighty it comes and takes possession of me. It wears the costume of jealousy. As red as an overripe fruit, it smiles at me, wanting me to follow.
Othello's spirit speaks to me and forces me to look. He opens the door that should never be opened. And must remain closed forever. WRATH is written in saffron-yellow with coarse brush strokes on it. Here behind the dark and heavy door lies the curse of my family. The heritage of destruction and frenzy. Othello whispers sweetly in my ear. "Open it, the chest of your ancestors. Let them all atone for the pain and betrayal that was done to you."

Heavy and massive is the chest, wrapped in coarse leather it stands there. Secured with rusty and amber-colored chains. Like crushed coriander, the dust lies on it like a garment from a dark time. Othello speaks, "Listen!!!". Dark and smoky is the voice from within. Tempting and seductive is the call of destruction and ruthlessness. Passion lashes my soul and my heart to the utmost. With smoky tongues and smoldering-hot desire. But I will not yield today,...not today. Not with you!

Conclusion
Passion that turns into madness. That is Nerotic for me. Jealousy in perfection.
A fragrance that teleports dark-sweet passion in a gloomy and unrestrained way.
A love that devours itself and destroys itself. One should not be strong enough for it.
Longevity: 8 to 10 hours. Longer than some relationships.
Sillage: Medium strong. Unless you get very close.
Gender: Unisex. Who has the stronger nerves?

Nerotic was immediately likable to me.
Why, I wonder???

Does Nerotic mean what I think it does?...
Hello everyone, I think it's been a while since I last posted a comment here, hasn't it? This time, however, I won't ask if anyone missed me, as I can already guess the answer from you mean beasts :D

But alright, I'm not going to complain, so let's get straight to the fragrance. Since I hadn't published anything in a long time, I needed a special scent, and what could be better suited than Nerotic by Laboratorio Olfattivo? After all, the word EROTIC is in Nerotic, mu ha ha ha, I, the pleasure seeker, am definitely back :DD But wait, let's take it slow. Because things don't always seem to be what they are at first. Maybe Nerotic means something entirely different? It does resemble the English term neurotic, after all! But before I keep guessing, let me take a quick look. If you search for Nerotic, of course, various websites for this fragrance pop up. And the description of a fragrance is always a good source to learn more about it, right? So let's read what most sites (including the Laboratorio Olfattivo website) have to say: Hypnotic, sensual, sexual, erotic, neurotic… Nerotic.

I knew it! I KNEW IT! Sexual and erotic, yes yes, the first gut feeling is always right, mu ha ha! An erotic scent, he he. Although erotic, olfactorily speaking (or rather sniffed), is surely just a matter of perception and taste, and many might have a different opinion on whether something smells erotic or sexual. For some, roses might be sensual, for others perhaps powdery scents with a blush-like aura, while some (especially the gentlemen) might stereotypically think of sex or female genitalia when they smell, for example, fish (oh my God… :DDD), and well… you know what I mean. But I think I've talked enough again. I should get to the scent description.

The Scent:
The scent starts with all sorts of notes, mainly those listed in the fragrance notes here. You catch a whiff of bergamot here, a bit of saffron there, then come the roses or rose-like scents, and coriander flashes briefly (and seems to disappear in the further development of the scent). But shortly after this little scent explosion, the first notes come through, which then smell more intense and overshadow most of the other notes. You can best smell the leather and right behind it, smoky notes. At this point, all other notes are almost equally intense, but they all smell quite good together.
A little later, the leather remains, as do the smoky notes. But the roses seem to become stronger, and the scent takes on a generally spicier and slightly woody aura.
Then the amber kicks in (or becomes more intense) and radiates a very nice sweetness; additionally, the scent now becomes softer and smoother, which could be due to the previously mentioned spicy notes losing intensity. In any case, the mix of amber, light creamy notes, and leather is quite successful. And the base mainly smells of these notes, with the leather being the most intense of all these notes, although it doesn't come across as strong and leathery as in other leather fragrances, but rather radiates a softer vibe. Much later, only a sweet, slightly powdery scent remains, which lasts for hours and smells nice. Overall, a rather beautiful fragrance.

The Sillage and Longevity:
The sillage is quite good; you will definitely be able to smell the fragrance well on someone. But even though it projects strongly, I don't find it really overwhelming; if I encounter it in a stronger dose, I believe… in any case, it remains pleasant for a long time.
The longevity is incredibly long… it will not only be detectable all day but also the next whole day. Yes, I still had a slight sweet touch on my arm the next day until the evening. Accordingly, the cling on clothing is also extreme; it could last days and weeks (provided you don't wash your clothes for that long :DD).

The Bottle:
The bottle is cylindrical, tapering and becoming narrower towards the neck. It is dark with a black cap and a black label. It looks elegant, even though it is technically rather simple. A nice bottle.

Conclusion:
So I find this fragrance quite successful. And yes, it can definitely be described as sensual, as it has that smooth, sweet aura, and some other notes surely contribute to the idea of something sensual, like leathery scents and the light smoky notes perhaps. Of course, as I mentioned in the introduction, it also depends on personal perception what one might consider sensual and erotic, but I think most could perceive the fragrance with such notes as sensual. Why else are my fingers itching to write here again about how “delicious and sexy” you ladies must look with such a scent? :D

In any case, Nerotic is a very testable fragrance (but please never buy it blind…), for which you should take your time testing, as it continues to develop. Sure, the main direction is sweet-creamy, leathery, and slightly smoky, but it still offers many other notes at the beginning, so you shouldn't form a judgment in the first five minutes. But I think I don't need to tell you fragrance freaks that; you know best how to test fragrances optimally :)

For use, I find that autumn and winter suit this fragrance best. And it fits many occasions. Whether for the evening or going out, or even in leisure time, meeting friends, going out to eat or brunching, it suits many occasions on these cool days.

And that's all from me about this fragrance. As I said, I hope to post here a bit more frequently again, but we'll see about that :))
Have a nice evening and take care! Until then :)

Neurotic Eroticism
This scent is wonderful - for me, it embodies sensuality and desire to the point of madness when sprayed.
Do you remember "Interview with a Vampire"?
In my imagination, Lestat de Lioncourt should wear this fragrance. At first, the scent presents a narcissistic, hedonistic, and choleric character - dark and very lustful.
But if you wait a little longer and look more closely, this fragrance takes you to the depths of its warm yet broken heart - and it becomes so gentle and protective that desire transforms from a neurotic, compulsive craving into a deep devotion.

The leather that is so prominent at the beginning, combined with an ethereal note of bergamot and geranium, evolves within about 20 minutes into a balsamic scent with saffron, a hint of cardamom, and for me, also cinnamon, underpinned by soft amber and sandalwood.
I can never clearly perceive the berries and grapefruit; perhaps they only highlight certain notes - most notably in the heart note, a dark, almost overripe blackberry.
This fragrance has come to stay - it lasts a good 7 - 8 hours and has a consistently appropriate sillage - you won't bother anyone who doesn't want to be bothered ;)
A beautiful scent for dark, sweet desire.

And back to the beginning: I also find this fragrance very adornment for women. I like it on myself - and not necessarily because I am a narcissistic, choleric vampire... ;)

Darth Vader
A fragrance that reflects sorrow, hatred, and anger, yet has such a vibrant and kind-hearted soul that the only person it is truly fitting for is Darth Vader.

Lured onto a false path by love and treachery, actually so powerful and promising, but made so bitter and sad by the choices he made and was given...

Rarely have I smelled something so damn eerie, yet so calm and somehow "beautifully" melancholic as Nerotic.

Serious red berries carried by a hint of honey that cut through rosy smoke, like Vader's lightsaber through the muck of war. At first spicy, almost sharp, from the middle quite floral to sweet, even friendly towards the end.

A strong longevity, around 10 hours should be possible with a consistently good, very dominant sillage due to the fragrance notes.

A really well-made scent, the spray head is very economical and clean, which is good for this beast.

Strong nerves and a weakness for this fragrance are a must, as the nose only gets used to this wavering composition to a limited extent, which is why one perceives it somewhat continuously.

Since 2014, Ceci worked on different variations of this structure and notes. Whilst Outlands is the climax, this is just an iteration

Herbal notes dominate my nose. I don't smell any fruit. Geranium with lots of coriander. A few saffron threads in between.

Intriguing fruity-smoky opening evolves into sweet amber & leather, currupted by synthetic 'burnt candy' fixative from Laudano Nero.

Starts out very smokey and then the fruits come out after a few hours. Heavenly dry-down.

In the opening is a corrosive and pungent fragrance, yet you keep sniffing it because it gets under your skin, it grows on you.

The scent is interesting but when I put it on my skin I had to go and shower an hour later because it lacerated my nose so much.
