A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Watermelon and blackcurrant burst forth with vigorous sweetness, immediately joined by melon's honeyed roundness, creating a fresh, almost sparkling top that smells like biting into chilled fruit salad. The tartness of blackcurrant cuts through potential cloying sweetness, establishing character within seconds.
The fruit gradually recedes as a lush nine-note floral accord unfurls—jasmine's creamy indole character merges with white peach and apricot's subtle stone fruit warmth, whilst violet and carnation introduce a gently spiced, almost herbal edge that prevents the florals from turning saccharine. The composition deepens considerably here, revealing considerable sophistication.
Sandalwood emerges with powdery, woody warmth as the florals fade into gossamer whispers, accompanied by vanilla and amber that provide creamy stability without excessive sweetness. The musky base settles into a tender second-skin quality, warm and intimate, lingering as more suggestion than statement.
Laura Laura Biagiotti is a fragrance caught in that rare, honest moment when opulence doesn't require pretence. Released in 1994, it inhabits a peculiar space between fruity freshness and floral density—a scent that refuses easy categorisation, which is precisely why it feels rather modern for its vintage.
The opening assault is unmistakably fruit-forward: watermelon and blackcurrant collide with melon in a burst that's simultaneously juicy and slightly tart, evoking the precise moment when you bite into chilled stone fruit on a summer afternoon. But this isn't a linear fruity affair. The heart expands into something far more complex and, frankly, rather daring—a nine-note floral chorus where apricot and white peach nestle against creamy jasmine and delicate lotus, whilst violet and carnation add a spiced, slightly peppery undertone that keeps the composition from becoming cloying.
