“Nerosa is a perfume realized with David Maruitte in 2011, but at that time we believed that Laboratorio Olfattivo was not yet ready to launch a fragrance like this. Today instead, Nerosa can perfectly enter in our Black Collection, thanks to the depth, wealth and strength of its formula. A fragrance whose energy is noticeable and whose enveloping sillage is strong.”
Roberto Drago
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Nerosa suits an evening when quiet conversation does not mean a discreet presence. Its dark rose, heated spices and leathery depth suggest the weight of a structured coat kept over the shoulders: composed, tactile and noticeable beyond close proximity.
How to wear
Cool autumn and winter weather is a natural setting for this dense, spicy rose. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the enveloping trail to develop before adding more. In warm rooms or close company, a single application beneath clothing is a more restrained approach.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer rose with resistance rather than sweetness: green geranium, dry spices, resin, oud and leather. It will appeal to lovers of animalic depth and substantial floral-woody compositions more than to those seeking a sheer, delicate flower.

Collaborators
Roberto Drago shaped the creative vision with David Maruitte, seeking a rose freed from conventionally feminine associations. He also held back the original composition until its richness and strength found a fitting context in the Black Collection.
Laboratorio Olfattivo’s story
Laboratorio Olfattivo treats perfume as a space for artistic exploration. Under Roberto Drago’s creative direction, perfumers work from an initial idea with freedom to develop their own compositions. Memories, journeys and emotions guide the fragrances, while restrained packaging keeps the focus on the scent.
Nerosa’s concept
Developed in 2011, Nerosa remained unreleased because the house felt it was not yet ready for such a forceful composition. Its eventual arrival in the Black Collection gave that intensity a natural home: a rose conceived not as a delicate floral, but as something rich, enveloping and assertive.
Extra info
The name evokes the Italian words nero and rosa—black and rose. The composition also places clove, saffron and nutmeg around its floral heart, giving the rose a distinctly spiced framework.
