Cécile Zarokian
Hypnotic, sensual, sexual, erotic, nerotic…Nerotic. Nerotic is a charming and addictive perfume: it drags you into a very emotional journey. The idea was to create a scent that stuns the senses thanks to a composition both elegant and intriguing: just like a black dress with a special detail. Nerotic opens the “Laboratorio in Nero” collection, the new collection of fragrances of Laboratorio Olfattivo, where the color black, symbol of elegance, luxury and mystery, represents fragrances with complex formula, made with precious raw materials.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and low light, where its smoky leather and amber can unfold without shouting. It suits a composed, self-possessed presence: someone who wants a dark, polished aura that lingers in the room after they have left.
How to wear
Best in cool weather or at night, Nerotic wears well with a restrained hand: one or two sprays are enough to let the smoky woods, saffron and leather develop slowly. On skin it starts brighter, then settles into a dry, warm trail that feels more intimate than expansive.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like smoky woods, ambered leather and a touch of spice, especially when they want contrast between brightness and darkness. It will appeal to those who prefer elegant, textured fragrances with a sensual edge and a unisex profile.
Release year

The nose
Cécile Zarokian is known for fragrances that feel vivid, textured and emotionally direct, often combining sensuality with a clear architectural structure. Her work moves comfortably between niche houses and more mainstream projects, but she is especially associated with compositions that are bold, modern and highly expressive. With Nerotic, Zarokian leans into her talent for contrast: bright opening facets give way to a smoky, leathery, ambered core, creating a scent that feels both polished and instinctive. It is a good example of her ability to make a fragrance feel intimate and magnetic without losing clarity.
Collaborators
Roberto Drago, as creative director of Laboratorio Olfattivo, shaped the brand’s concept-led approach and the “Laboratorio in Nero” framework that Nerotic inaugurates, giving the fragrance its black, luxurious, mysterious identity within the collection.
Laboratorio Olfattivo’s story
Laboratorio Olfattivo is a niche house built around creative freedom rather than trend-chasing, working with perfumers as authors and treating each fragrance as a distinct idea. Its style is intellectual but wearable, with an emphasis on raw materials, clear concepts and a distinctly Italian sense of refinement.
Nerotic’s concept
Nerotic was created as the opening fragrance of Laboratorio Olfattivo’s “Laboratorio in Nero” collection, a line built around the symbolism of black: elegance, luxury and mystery. The perfume was conceived as a sensual, emotionally charged composition, meant to feel intriguing and addictive, like a black dress with one unexpected detail.
Extra info
Nerotic opens the Laboratorio in Nero collection. Its name and concept are tied to the idea of black as a symbol of elegance, luxury and mystery. It is offered in 30 ml and 100 ml formats.
