Curiouser Latherati — a spicy-citrus character
Curiouser Latherati is a unisex fragrance from the niche house Latherati, created for those who love expressive compositions with an unexpected twist.
Its scent combines juicy orange, the transparency of tea, spicy pepper nuances, warm amber and soft musk.
This fragrance does not strive to be neutral: it is noticeable, contrasting and easily attracts attention.
Latherati emerged on the US niche fragrance scene in 2018 as a fresh and inspiring perfumery space.
The brand's founder and chief perfumer, Julie Grogan, builds the brand's DNA around an artistic vision and lively olfactory experiments.
Curiouser fits this concept perfectly: familiar materials are brought together in an energetic, contemporary and slightly intriguing accord.
In character, it is a fragrance with a spicy-citrus opening and a warm woody-amber depth.
Orange adds juiciness and brightness to the composition, while black and pink pepper create a vivid, slightly sparkling piquancy.
Tea softens the spicy impulse and gives the scent a sense of cleanliness, while musk makes the finish smoother and more cohesive.
How the fragrance develops
At the start, Curiouser feels bright and dynamic: the citrus note quickly combines with a peppery accent, so the opening minutes are lively and full of character.
Then the composition becomes calmer, with the tea facet becoming more distinct and maintaining a balance between freshness and spice.
Amber and musk emerge in the base, creating a warm, enveloping and highly noticeable trail.
The fragrance is described as having a very strong sillage, so Curiouser Latherati is best viewed as a perfume for occasions when you want to make a noticeable presence.
It is suitable for evenings, cool weather, meetings, events and walks, where its rich character develops with particular expressiveness.
In warm indoor spaces, it is best applied sparingly so that its spicy-amber facet remains elegant.
Wearability and impression
Its unisex positioning allows Curiouser to develop differently: on one skin, it may highlight citrusy-spicy freshness; on another, it may bring a soft amber-musk trail to the forefront.
This is a good choice for lovers of fragrances without obvious gender labeling and for those who have grown tired of predictable fresh compositions.
Thanks to its strong sillage, the perfume can become a recognizable part of your image, but it calls for moderation in application.
Precise recommendations regarding the number of sprays for skin and clothing are not provided in the available information.
A practical approach is to start with a small amount on the skin and assess the intensity after 15–20 minutes, when the citrus-pepper opening gives way to a warmer base.
The concentration format and the availability of other concentrations of this fragrance are also not specified, so comparing Curiouser Latherati with EDT, EDP or Extrait versions would be inaccurate.
Similar fragrances to explore
In its combination of citrus energy, spice and a warm trail, Curiouser can be compared with Hermès Eau Des Merveilles.
To explore a similar mood further, you can also consider Brocard Spicy Clementine and L'Artisan Parfumeur Coeur de Vetiver Sacre.
At the same time, Curiouser retains its own identity through the contrast between orange, tea, two types of pepper, amber and musk.
