Lacura, the name of this perfume extrait sounds a bit like Latin or some magic language for "protection or cure".

It’s an uplifting nectarous woody citrus formula that has the complete set of wonderful perfume materials from the bitter orange tree: bigarade oil from the fruit, neroli and orange blossom absolute from the bloom and the fresh woody petigrain from leaves and twigs. That citrus and fresh woody plenty is layered with voluminous modern musks (velvety Velutone), gleaming vanilla, caramel and benzoin.

In the times when most people still believed in the magic of scent, orange blossom was considered to be a symbol/good charm for marital harmony and bliss (and often it’s still part of brides’ bouquets) and also an aphrodisiac.

Mendittorosa still believe in perfume magic crafting their blends in the old town of Napoli and Lacura is their recipe for lifting moods and happy dreams.

Originally this formula was created by Juan Floris in the 18th century to be used to alleviate the summer heat in London.

Paradoxically, in the grey winter months Limes might remind you of summer, the golden formula bursting with innocent sunny citruses.

Perfumer: Mylène Alran

Leon is a light (10% concentration) carefree blend of Mediterranean citruses in the soft embrace of sandalwood.

At first spritz the perfume explodes with bursts of sweet cedrat and delicious bergamot, then it calms down somewhat into green neroli and fresh honeysuckle accord with soft sandalwood in the background.

Marie Jeanne is an atelier perfume house from Grasse, founded by a young perfumer from a family connected to Robertet for several generations.

Robertet is a bit like De Beers of the fine natural perfume materials - matières premières, for decades they have been dealing with the finest, purest and most precious stuff a perfumer can dream of.

In Leon’s formula you admire the exceptional quality and fineness of sandalwood from India, neroli from Tunisia, bergamot and cedrat from Italy among other exquisite materials.

Fragrance: A lively, light citrus-focused fragrance with a slightly woody base that will refresh and intrigue. A blend of five outstanding citrus oils creates the exciting top and core of this fragrance whilst black pepper and coriander bring a zing that will wake you up and get you ready for the day ahead.

Wandering down to the tennis court, past banks of fresh green grass and a carpet of pine cones on the path; smell the salty breeze from the sea with the dappled sun rays on your back as you walk with the racket in your hand.

Tonic and green notes of refined neroli are combined with marine and sunshine accords to bring this moment of summer into sparkling relief.A burst of freshness warmed by an understated woody musk. Healthy and bright with plenty of fun!

The orange martini at lunch. Naked in the water. Stinging sunlight.
