Smoke, absinthe, dark wood and resin
Laudano Nero is the brand's rainy autumn in bohemian Paris, with a small bonfire at a crossroads in Montmartre. Absinthe, cognac, latakia tobacco and myrtle open it, a long heart of red rose, acacia honey, cedarwood, iris and slate follows, and incense, agarwood, vetiver and vanilla form the base. The brand calls it one of the most complex and uncompromising extracts of its collection.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Absinthe and cognac open it with an herbal, boozy bite, and latakia tobacco adds a smoky, leathery thread that suits the bonfire in the story. Myrtle gives a resinous green edge, and black amber starts to darken the picture. It is a dry opening with very little sweetness.
The heart is the longest list in the pyramid. Red rose and acacia honey bring a dark sweetness, iris and cashmere lay a soft, powdery layer over it, and cedarwood and sandalwood supply dry wood. Slate brings the stony edge the brand mentions, and camphor laurel a cool, sharp note.
Incense and agarwood set a dark, resinous floor, vetiver and oak add earth and dry timber, and Madagascar vanilla and musk soften the edges. Bay leaf, caper and gum keep a sharp, herbal-resinous edge running through the base, so it never settles into plain sweetness.
Wearing it
Laudano Nero is dense and complex, so start with one or two sprays and let it settle before adding more. It comes into its own on cool, damp days, in the evening and indoors by a fire, where smoke, wood and resin make sense. Heavy summer heat is not its natural setting.
People who like dark, woody, smoky perfumes and are comfortable with a scent that is not meant to please everyone. The brand pitches it at those who wear what they like and ignore convention. If you prefer fresh or sweet fragrances, this will feel too serious.
The brand puts it in a solid black bottle and calls it one of its most uncompromising extracts, so the intention is clear. The Terenzi family starts each perfume from a story, here a bonfire in a rainy Paris autumn. It is made for people who want character before charm.
Questions
A dark, smoky, woody extrait: absinthe, cognac and latakia tobacco at the start, rose, honey and cedar in the middle, incense, agarwood and vetiver underneath.
It can be in cool weather, but it is more at home in the evening. Its density and smoky character ask for one or two careful sprays rather than a generous cloud.
The brand presents Laudano Nero in a solid black bottle holding 100 ml of Extrait de Parfum, the strength the house uses for its perfumes. The dark look matches the scent.
The house
Tiziana Terenzi is an Italian perfume house from the family behind the candle workshop Cereria Terenzi in Cattolica, whose packaging prints ‘Since 1968’. The perfumes are extraits de parfum, each told as a story from the childhood of siblings Tiziana and Paolo, and several are named after constellations.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
