From LO’s Parfum Intense collection, this is an amber with the darkness turned up to 11. There’s no white space here, just expensive raw materials piled high. Its vibrant opening with fruity notes is enriched by the bitterness of coffee, deepening into a powerful chorus of rose, iris, jasmine and lily of the valley. And this valley is a deep one, a soft black expanse of leather, nagarmotha and patchouli, cushioned by a dirtier-than-usual amber.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is an amber for an evening with some volume: conversation gathers pace, coats come off, and the fragrance remains a distinct presence in the room. Its bright fruit catches attention first; bitter coffee and dark leather give that sweetness a more imposing edge.
How to wear
Cool weather gives this dense amber, leather and wood composition room to unfold without making its sweetness feel crowded. Start with one or two sprays on skin and assess before adding more; a restrained application suits its forceful character, especially in close indoor settings.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy substantial ambers, dark woody fragrances and fruit notes set against bitter or leathery textures. It suits a taste for layered, assertive compositions rather than transparent florals or understated skin scents.

2024
The nose
Arturetto Landi composed Amberbomb, his first fragrance for Laboratorio Olfattivo. His work often embraces richness and scale, combining expressive materials with densely layered structures. Here, fruit and bitter coffee introduce a floral heart before giving way to a substantial amber, leather and woody base.
Collaborators
Creative director Roberto Drago shaped the Extreme Collection’s brief around richer raw materials and powerful formulas that would retain the house’s identity; Amberbomb introduced that vision. Daniela Caon, responsible for the brand’s visual identity, is credited with its packaging.
Laboratorio Olfattivo’s story
Laboratorio Olfattivo approaches perfumery as a creative workshop, giving perfumers room to translate journeys, stories and emotions into scent rather than simply answer a market brief. Its identity rests on artistic freedom, material research and distinctive compositions, supported by restrained visual design.
Amberbomb’s concept
Amberbomb inaugurated the Extreme Collection, conceived as a more opulent and forceful expression of Laboratorio Olfattivo. Landi’s composition sets bright fruit against bitter coffee, then builds through flowers into a dense amber, wood and leather foundation. It was presented at Esxence in Milan in 2024.
Extra info
The official Italian product page notes that temperature fluctuations may cause some materials to crystallize, without changing the fragrance or its performance. The house calls Amberbomb Parfum Intense, rather than specifying a fragrance-oil percentage.
