Nun Laboratorio Olfattivo for women and men

A pretty, light and fruity white floral. Would wear nicely on a not-too- hot summer day.

Where to wear: meeting in-laws, late spring sunbathing in a garden

this is exactly what I think a modern day nun would smell like lol. It’s fresh, clean, slightly sweet, airy, and floral. This opens with sweet pear with fresh citrus and a flowery neroli, airy and light. The florals in the heart of this blend in a sweetly fresh and aquatic blend, with a banana like ylang ylang. This is very floral but it’s not overwhelmingly so, like a fresh spring day, it’s inviting, comforting, and freshly light. The dry down offers some warmth with warm woods and enveloping musk. The muskiness feels like a cloud, a hug from a pretty girl, a breeze on a warm day. This is scent is beautifully simple but in a way that works really well.

I am a longtime fan of Laboratorio Olfattivo’s scents. I will say that from the beginning.. Nun is the first watery, aquatic, clean, fresh floral fragrance that’s exclusively summer appropriate from their offerings that I have tried so far.

What made me want Nun was the combo of lotus flower and ylang ylang. Add to that my favourite fruit in perfume, pear and add to cart…

Unlike most of the other scents of LO, the ones in the darker bottles, Nun is a dewy, watery, semi sweet fresh floral suited for hot and humid weather. It’s not a deep, rich, lush floral for cooler days. It lacks substance… The only drawback of Nun, the scent itself is beautiful, feminine, elegant and very natural smelling!

As an exclusive summertime floral, Nun is the perfect everyday, casual scent. I love lotus flower since 2010’s when I first discovered Omnia Crystalline. Ylang ylang is a more recent love and every time I smell it, it transports me to a holiday on a tropical island.

Alongside lotus, ylang ylang, jasmine and neroli are the other two prominent floral accords. I can’t get per se the citruses in the top, only the pear note. From the base notes I feel that the woody notes and a clean, white musk are the most distinctive. Ambery notes not so much.

For me, Nun comes across mainly as an aethereal, light, watery, breezy mix of subtle flowers and sweet, juicy pear. Simple, easy grab and go type of scent. Mass appealing for anyone who loves florals, smells less niche and more designer like, but stands out more than most of designer perfumes.

As expected, this is the first LO fragrance that didn’t wowed me with the performance. I am not disappointed with my purchase because of the gorgeous smell but as far as longevity and projections goes, Nun it’s not a top tier! It performs moderately, and it lingers on the skin, but it sits close, not much of a projector.

If you’re like me and love Bvlgari’s Omnia Crystalline, give this one a try. It’s more heavy on the florals than that one, but you might discover a new favourite!

pleasant fragrance, clean , pure and fresh. Easy to wear, not very distinctive but I like it.

a very refreshing white floral scent.
It starts with fruity/citrusy notes and changes into white florals and musk.
The pear note in the opening gives a watery character to it but it won't last long and lotus takes into place along with soft musk and jasmine which gives it a clean/floral feeling.
Easy to wear and comfy.

This fragrance came across kind of mystical to me when I first applied it. It is lovely and fresh, floral and pretty, with a twist of citrus. Very well blended and inoffensive, I’d be comfortable wearing it in a small space or office.
It feels sophisticated and lovely.

Pure and clean floral scent with amazingly smooth white flowers and subtle sweetness. Usually I don’t like floral notes but here they are fresh, juicy and soft, so I can appreciate the beauty of this scent.

I find it more suitable for fall days, rather than for summer. It is weak, 2-3 hours max. And I really don't like it much. Reminds me on toilet air refreshers. White musk and lotus are strongest.

This is what I wear when I am in a small room with my therapist. When I want to wear a sophisticated scent, but don't want it to be too polarizing, artificial, strong or sexy. Very clean with a touch of powder. Innocence with a touch of grit on the drydown. The other one I would wear for the occasion is Chanel 1957, but that's a much higher price point.

Something in the dry down absolutes disgusts me. I had to wash it off. A Creamy fecal/dirty sock smell when u smell it close up on skin. Quite foul. Opening is nice tho. Vanigloria also had a rotten smell to me in the dry down. Strange.

Oh, wow, the pear opening is so sweet! This is the scent of pear which is used to be named in my country as the "buttery". Very soft and creamy, also saccharine. With the aroma of bergamot and neroli it is like wafer (crisp).

Flowery note is pleasant, but personally I find jasmine heavy and not clean. It is the only negative I gave in a comment.
Luca Maffei proves once again that he creates delicate, precise art.

Nice sillage and good longevity (5-6 hrs).

indie scent,
the neroli is a bit bitter, better spray lightly, the lotus is a bit too flat, I agree

Bubblegum white floral with sweet amber notes...
I literally have NOTHING against this kind of scent, or scents that are like this, but I don't usually wear these, and I already have a booming white floral scent kinda like this one (a little better!), so it's a no for me, but, for you, this might be RIGHT up your alley.
It is indeed a great scent, I cannot fault it, and that's the truth. It's just too sweet, floral and pretty.

It’s nice summer parfume... smells on floral than changed ... Lotus, ylang, pears, on first spray you can smell... interesting scent for me... different then other florals parfume... 9/10 it’s not long lasting but for summer it’s enough .

fruity juicy opening with pear note and then a strange evolution on a creamy lotus a bit too flat...it's simple but not really in a good way => air fresh spray comes to my mind at each inhalation.

I’ve been wearing this for a few weeks now and absolutely love it!!

It’s opens with a very light citrus and pear (which makes it’s a bit watery but not in a sharp way). Then it slowly settles into a nice creamy floral, one that personally I’ve not smelled in many perfumes before. I definitely smell the lotus and yang ylang and it’s actually reminds me of the target jasmine+ylang ylang candle.

My favorite thing about this is the dry down of this on my skin! I love the musky floral and it works well on my skin. It’s definitely something I’ll be wearing more often!!

Despite all the promising notes I feel very strong powder note from the very beginning till the end. Smells mature - like 80's perfume. As citrus/gourmand frag lover I say its not for me.

I agree 100% with dadudelebowski.
This one smells very different on skin than on paper.
Lotus was the first note i picked up when sprayed on paper, but when I sprayed it on my wrist, it smelled very very familiar and then I realized it smelled just like philosykos edp!
Nun doesn’t give that distinctive fig scent as philosykos does, but it does give off that same overall powdery/soft/creamy vibe
Anyways, this is a quite elegant and soft perfume and I don’t see why anyone would not like this🥰🥰🥰

To my nose, this is very similar to Philosykos just less green , more woody and floral. There's something creamy about the complexion here which leads me to believe there's a coconut note in there somewhere. Either way, this would smell lovely on a woman especially during the spring or fall.

beautiful scent, bottle worthy, just bought full bottle after trying sample

Interesting. The beginning few seconds reminds me of osmanthus: soft sweet floral with a fruity edge. Ironically, It smells better than a lot of osmanthus themed perfume, for lack of "dry-fermented-tea" smell I found in such perfumes. It has put that much-needed moisture feeling into Osmanthus-esque accord.

We should know by now, good tops just don't last, ugh...to me the body notes are just non-surprising white florals: silky tuberose, sweet gardenia, and the slightest hint of creamy coconut.

"Lotus, ylang, pears, & rubber" that's what i got when i first sprayed this on.

The sweet rubber stayed for a certain time as the mild citrus was there all the time.

It was quite weird when i sprayed it on till the rubber note showed up quite clear within seconds. It's not a huge note rather than blended within the lotus, ylang, pears, and the citrus. The woods comes up with some hints of musk after 5 minutes in. The jasmines almost not there.

It is quite fair to be specific, i kind of like the ingenuity by bringing up the rubber sweet in this form without that dirty animalic yet captivating method. Quite interesting.

The creator wrote "By this palindrome word, the Ancient Egyptian meant the primordial water, in other words the God Nun. According to the legend, this water gave birth to the Lotus, a flower which was used to hide into the water during the night, to open up again at the sunshine. While blossoming out the flower revealed the Sun God Atum. Hence the symbolism of the Sun God, of rebirth.
This fragrance arises from the Nun and opens up at the sunshine, while its scented molecules spread out into the air. It’s a tribute to this iconic, symbolic flower." I see this CLEARLY as an ancient Egypt flower.

It reminds me a bit of "Ashoka" by Neela Vermeire with it's texture but a very less sweet than "Ashoka", i believe a better balance than "Ashoka".
