Identity and release history

The fragrance Need_U from Laboratorio Olfattivo, released in 2018, is a perfume water in the unisex category.

The brand, founded in 2010 by Roberto Drago and Daniela Caon, is known for its experimental approach to perfumery, and Need_U is a vivid example of this philosophy, combining innovation with accessibility.

This universal perfume was created by the talented perfumer Marie Duchene, who masterfully integrated elements from the aromatic and floral families, as well as key note groups such as ambery, aquatic, citrus and spicy, making it multi-layered and interesting for discussion.

Positioning and wearability

Need_U is positioned as a universal fragrance for any gender, perfectly suited for the modern urban dweller who values flexibility and style.

Its medium trail provides a delicate but noticeable presence without overwhelming others, making it an excellent choice for daily wear, office days, or informal meetings with friends.

Thanks to its balanced composition, this perfume easily adapts to different seasons and scenarios: refreshing citrus accents give freshness for summer days, while warm ambery and musky notes add coziness in cool weather.

For optimal development, apply it to clean skin, considering that the perfume water has moderate longevity, emphasizing its versatility and comfort in wear.

Authors and influence

The perfumer Marie Duchene contributed to the creation of Need_U, reflecting the innovative spirit of Laboratorio Olfattivo and the trend towards pure, minimalist aesthetics in niche perfumery.

Her work on this fragrance highlights the growing popularity of unisex perfumes with modern chords, enhancing the brand's reputation as a creative leader that knows how to connect art with everyday life.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

Composition of the Need_U fragrance

The fragrance pyramid of Need_U begins with refreshing top notes: lemon and pink pepper (red berries), which create an invigorating and slightly spicy start, instantly attracting attention.

At the heart of the composition, delicate white flowers, sea chord (sea note) and jasmine unfold, adding floral depth and aquatic coolness, making the fragrance multifaceted and intriguing.

The base consists of ambroxan, musk (white musk) and sandalwood, which ensure long-lasting wear, a warm and enveloping finish, harmoniously completing the composition.

This gradual unfolding from citrus freshness through floral tenderness to amber warmth creates a dynamic and memorable impression, perfectly suited for those seeking a balanced and captivating perfume.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Low (1 to 2 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The fragrance made me think about my feelings for it only when the bottle was almost empty )) In winter, it sounds especially bright in the frost, the sillage is simply gorgeous, filling everything around, even outdoors. There's something fresh and light in it, marine notes clearly stand out now. Definitely, I'll repeat it again 🔄
5/5

My previous review of this fragrance was too harsh and not entirely positive. After several months of use, it opened up, and now it delights with its longevity and sillage 🌸
3/5

The perfume is indeed fresh and clean, creating a feeling of relaxation. But there are problems with its longevity. You could say it's more of a "non-perfume" than a full-fledged fragrance. As soon as the decant runs out, that's it, the end. Outdoors, it just evaporates, too light and transparent.
4/5

The scent reminds me of something molecular, but on me, it smells too chemical, with a clear musk. The name "I Need You" seems to fit, as it's barely noticeable on the skin, leaves no sillage, and doesn't develop. I expected more, to be honest. Unisex, suitable for everyone, can be worn all year round, but it's more like a "scent without a scent". It comes in a 30 ml bottle, but when it runs out, I probably won't buy it again ))
4/5

I have a decant. This fragrance is undoubtedly universal, but, in my opinion, it would suit young guys or girls more. Definitely a summer option. Although mint is not listed in the pyramid, I clearly detect it in Need_U. The longevity, unfortunately, is not impressive 😕
