About Desiderátum
Desiderátum by Smells Like Lulu: A Woody Floral Masterpiece
Desiderátum is the latest unisex fragrance from the house of Smells Like Lulu, launched in 2024. Crafted by perfumer Alan Humberto Maldonado Navarro, it blends the elegance of roses with the warmth of leather and oud.
The olfactory pyramid opens with a burst of Bulgarian and Turkish roses, accompanied by fresh eucalyptus that adds a cooling, camphor-like touch. At the heart, osmanthus (fragrant olive) intertwines with vanilla and saffron, creating a soft, spicy texture. The base rests on leather, cedar, and oud wood, providing a deep, lingering trail.
Key accords include woody, leather, floral, vanilla, rose, oud, warm spicy, fruity, camphor, and powdery notes. This complexity allows the fragrance to evolve surprisingly over time, revealing different facets at each stage.
Despite its richness, Desiderátum feels balanced and versatile, suitable for both formal occasions and everyday wear. Its sillage is moderate, and longevity exceeds eight hours on skin, with a projection that invites closeness.
The rose, the undeniable protagonist, is not cloying thanks to the contrast of eucalyptus and saffron. Leather and oud add sophistication, while vanilla and osmanthus soften the blend, achieving perfect harmony.
This perfume is a statement of intent: it aims to be remembered. Its name, Desiderátum, evokes something ardently desired, and indeed the fragrance stirs the desire to keep smelling it.
It will be enjoyed by those seeking a unisex fragrance with personality, combining floral freshness with woody depth. Ideal for lovers of roses and oud, as well as for aficionados of complex and elegant creations.
Desiderátum is a masterpiece that demonstrates Alan Humberto Maldonado Navarro's skill. With a perfect rating of 5/5, it stands as an indispensable choice for connoisseurs.
