Lacura, the name of this perfume extrait sounds a bit like Latin or some magic language for "protection or cure".
It’s an uplifting nectarous woody citrus formula that has the complete set of wonderful perfume materials from the bitter orange tree: bigarade oil from the fruit, neroli and orange blossom absolute from the bloom and the fresh woody petigrain from leaves and twigs. That citrus and fresh woody plenty is layered with voluminous modern musks (velvety Velutone), gleaming vanilla, caramel and benzoin.
In the times when most people still believed in the magic of scent, orange blossom was considered to be a symbol/good charm for marital harmony and bliss (and often it’s still part of brides’ bouquets) and also an aphrodisiac.
Mendittorosa still believe in perfume magic crafting their blends in the old town of Napoli and Lacura is their recipe for lifting moods and happy dreams.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Lacura suits an unhurried morning that gradually opens into company. Bitter-orange peel and leafy petitgrain bring alertness, while orange blossom and the softly sweet base keep the impression welcoming rather than brisk: a composed presence with warmth beneath it.
How to wear
Spring and mild autumn weather offer a natural setting for its citrus-green opening and warmer base. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the orange blossom, musks and sweet woods to settle. In hotter weather, apply lightly to keep the vanilla-caramel warmth from dominating the citrus.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy bitter-orange and neroli fragrances but want more softness and substance than a sharply refreshing cologne. Its leafy brightness, floral heart and gently gourmand base appeal to tastes that move between green citrus, comforting musks and warm woods.

The nose
Anne-Sophie Behaghel, co-founder of the independent Parisian fragrance studio Flair, is credited with Lacura. Her work balances expressive olfactory ideas with contemporary textures. Here, bitter-orange brightness and floral softness meet a rounded woody-musky base, giving the citrus composition a more enveloping character.
Collaborators
Stefania Squeglia conceived Lacura’s concept and creative design, shaping its themes of tenderness, protection and self-care. Italian artist Mauro Carrazza created its individually handmade, twisted cap, whose tangled structure expresses the idea of protection and order emerging from chaos.
Mendittorosa’s story
Mendittorosa treats perfume as independent sensory art, translating personal experiences and emotions rather than following trends. Its identity combines expressive compositions with Italian artisanal work, giving each fragrance a distinct physical form as well as an olfactory voice.
Lacura’s concept
Inspired by Franco Battiato’s song “La cura,” Lacura explores tenderness, protection and the acceptance of one’s fragility. It completed the Time Without Time trio alongside Archetipo and Rituale, bringing a nurturing dimension to the collection’s themes of ritual, emotion and memory.
Extra info
Lacura brings together materials from several parts of the bitter orange tree: fruit oil, neroli and orange blossom absolute from the flowers, and petitgrain from leaves and twigs. Its sculptural cap is individually handmade, making the packaging an artisanal extension of the fragrance’s protective theme.
