Cécile Zarokian
Narcotics flowers, psychotropic herbs and haunted spices are the main ingredients of Kashnoir, the eleventh fragrance of Laboratorio Olfattivo, created after embarking on a long journey in search of the most forbidden and mysterious East. More than a fragrance, Kashnoir is a softly lethal drug, that obscures reason and stuns the senses. A powerful scent, which leads to oblivion, almost dangerous to the wearer.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Kashnoir suits a close, intimate setting where its powdery rose and resinous warmth can unfold without hurry. It feels made for a dim room, soft fabric and low conversation, projecting a composed but slightly unsettling presence rather than loud glamour.
How to wear
Best in cool weather, Kashnoir wears most naturally in autumn and winter, when its benzoin, heliotrope and woody facets can bloom on skin. Apply lightly at first; a few sprays are enough, as the scent has a soft but persistent trail and can feel dense if overapplied.
Who it’s for
For those who like floral perfumes with an old-school, powdery signature and a warm resinous base. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy vintage-leaning compositions, subtle sweetness and a slightly mysterious oriental-woody character.
Release year
2013
The nose
Cécile Zarokian is known for compositions that balance clarity with richness, often drawing on florals, resins and spice to create scents with a distinct, modern sensuality. Her work frequently leans into textured, expressive structures rather than minimalism, and Kashnoir shows that instinct in a polished oriental-floral frame. For Kashnoir, Zarokian shapes a fragrance that moves from bright aromatic opening into a velvety heart and a resinous, powdery drydown. The result reflects her talent for giving classic materials a slightly uncanny, contemporary edge without losing their elegance.
Collaborators
Roberto Drago, Laboratorio Olfattivo’s creative director, is documented as shaping the brand’s brief and giving perfumers full artistic freedom; in Kashnoir, that framework allowed Cécile Zarokian to build the fragrance’s Eastern, narcotic concept into a finished composition.
Laboratorio Olfattivo’s story
Laboratorio Olfattivo is a niche house built around author-led perfumery and creative freedom rather than trend-driven formulas. Founded by Daniela Caon and Roberto Drago, it treats fragrance as an artistic project, inviting perfumers to translate ideas, journeys and emotions into distinctive Eau de Parfums.
Kashnoir’s concept
Kashnoir is the eleventh fragrance in Laboratorio Olfattivo’s collection, launched in 2013 and conceived as a journey toward a mysterious, forbidden East. Its story is built around narcotic flowers, enchanted spices and psychotropic herbs, cast as a sweetly dangerous elixir that clouds reason and pulls the wearer toward oblivion.
Extra info
Kashnoir is the eleventh fragrance in Laboratorio Olfattivo’s line and was created by Cécile Zarokian. Its name and concept revolve around a “sweetly lethal” elixir, and it is often noted for its Shalimar-adjacent spicy-powdery mood while remaining distinctly its own composition.
