Perfumer: Lucien Ferrero
«What is more noble for a perfumer than Sandal attar? Without doubt it is the most precious essential oil in the history of perfumery, with a refined elegance, an unparalleled sensuality and an intimacy that I invite you to try.»
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Tantrico suits close, deliberate moments rather than loud entrances: a room where conversation stays low, the air is warm, and the scent can unfold slowly from the pulse points. It reads as composed and intimate, with a clean woody presence that feels controlled but unmistakably sensual.
How to wear
Best worn in moderate to cool weather, where its aromatic woods and sandalwood can stay crisp rather than flattening out. Apply lightly to the chest or neck for a restrained trail, or add one extra spray on clothing if you want the cedar and cypress to project a little more.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like woody fragrances with a clean edge, aromatic dryness and a sensual but disciplined sandalwood core. It will appeal to those who prefer understated sophistication over sweetness, and who enjoy scents that feel polished, modern and skin-close.

The nose
Lucien Ferrero is known for refined, tactile compositions that often balance clarity with sensual depth. A master of woods, spices and musks, he tends to build fragrances with a strong structural line and a distinctive skin-close elegance, making his work feel both precise and intimate. With Tantrico, Ferrero turns to sandalwood as a central material and treats it less as a soft backdrop than as a living, textured accord. The result reflects his style well: controlled, aromatic and subtly provocative, with a velvety dryness that lets the wood feel polished rather than heavy.
Collaborators
Roberto Drago, as creative director, and Daniela Caon, as co-founder, shaped Laboratorio Olfattivo’s artistic brief and helped frame Tantrico within the Master's Collection, where the house gives perfumers broad creative freedom. Their role was to commission and support the concept rather than to co-compose the formula.
Laboratorio Olfattivo’s story
Laboratorio Olfattivo is an Italian artistic perfumery house built around creative freedom, not market formulas. Its fragrances are conceived as olfactory works, often entrusted to different perfumers and presented in a minimalist style that keeps the focus on the composition itself.
Tantrico’s concept
Tantrico was created by Lucien Ferrero for Laboratorio Olfattivo’s Master's Collection as a bold sandalwood study. The fragrance was conceived to show sandalwood in a more sensual, unconventional light, with aromatic juniper, sage and cypress giving the wood a dry, lucid tension rather than a soft, creamy blur.
Extra info
Tantrico belongs to Laboratorio Olfattivo’s Master's Collection and is built around Ferrero’s admiration for sandalwood as one of perfumery’s most precious materials. The name suggests tension and sensuality, while the composition keeps that idea controlled, dry and elegant rather than overtly lush.
