Need-U by Laboratorio Olfattivo is a fragrance for women and men. Need-U was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Marie Duchêne. Top notes are Lemon and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Sea Notes, White Flowers and Jasmine; base notes are White Musk, Ambroxan and Sandalwood. "The citrus note of the lemon opening and the pink rose pepper dance with the HC Hedione giving a candid hint of jasmine, while white flowers and sea spray are laid on a background full of white moss and fascinating molecules such as Ambroxan. Molecules that adhere to the skin, like a dress, putting in place an equal exchange: perfume and skin, skin and perfume. Need_U is a unisex perfume, a message of love without borders, without gender." - a note from the brand.
