The drunk italian at the chocolate fountain
My first from the house of Terenzi. Probably also the last. But more about that later.
The bottle in any case makes something here. Looks chic, has a sympathetic DIY attitude by the wooden label and is nice and heavy. The sprayer is also good. There is nothing to complain about.
The scent, however, leaves me a little perplexed. Nero. Since I expect something dark, black. The name should actually smell really nice nasty morbid. But it doesn't. After the first spray, a very engaging cognac note greets you. It's well done, but too strong for me to start with. For me, this note remains constantly present over the course of the fragrance, though fortunately it takes a step back in the drydown and makes room for the other notes. Then it's joined by a pleasantly smoky note, very distantly reminiscent of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud. A bit of that ashtray DNA. However, with Tobacco Oud, this is clearly blended in a more stylish way. Gradually, the fragrance becomes a little woodier, gaining profile and becoming more distinctive. As the fragrance progresses, however, the tide turns. Now a penetrating sweetness emerges that gets on my nerves very quickly. Laudano Nero then gets a powdery-chocolate note, which so does not want to fit this fragrance.
At the latest then Laudano Nero has lost for me. The sum of its parts does not give me a coherent picture. The opening with the strong alcohol accord too dominant, the drydown with the smoke not blended well enough with each other and the basic DNA, when the fragrance becomes skin tight, much too sweet.
Flacon: high quality DIY look. Seems solid and pleasantly processed.
Durability: 8-10h without problems
Sillage: room-filling with a few sprays
Price-performance: for 100ml Extrait de Parfum I find my paid just under 80€ very fair
