The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Laberinto was created by perfumer Alejandro Mazzola and released by Solonoi in 2025. Tomato Leaf, Citruses, Cardamom and Grapefruit establish the opening, combining leafy greenery with bright citrus and a lightly bitter edge. Cardamom adds a gently aromatic snap, while Mint brings a cool lift. The composition then moves through Fig Leaf, Basil, Mint, Pine and Oregano, building a denser impression of foliage and crushed herbs. White Musk, Woody Notes and Galbanum form the base, adding soft musk, dry wood and resinous green notes. The result is a leafy route with bright openings and a shaded finish rather than a neat citrus arrangement.
The interesting part is the collision between cultivated green notes and familiar citrus. Tomato Leaf brings a damp, vegetal snap, while Fig Leaf adds a softer leafy texture. Basil, Mint and Oregano make the heart feel aromatic rather than simply fresh, and Pine introduces a dry, evergreen edge. Cardamom appears in both the opening and heart, giving the composition a repeated spicy thread. White Musk and Galbanum change the temperature, making the drydown feel cleaner and more tactile.
The evolution
At first, Laberinto shows its brightest side: Tomato Leaf, citrus and grapefruit sit forward with a clean, lightly bitter edge, while Cardamom supplies a gentle aromatic snap. That brightness quickly gives way to the greener middle, where Fig Leaf, Basil, Mint, Pine and Oregano create the impression of shaded foliage and crushed herbs. The repeated Cardamom keeps the transition connected, carrying a little peppery tension through the heart. Fig Leaf reinforces the leafy character, while Basil and Oregano add herbal depth. Mint sharpens the green notes with a cool, lively accent, and Pine contributes a dry, woody quality that keeps the heart from becoming overly soft. As the fragrance settles, Galbanum and Woody Notes add a resinous, leafy dryness beneath the herbs. White Musk softens the finish, leaving a close, musky trail rather than a loud citrus burst.
Cultural impact
Laberinto can be explored as a fragrance built around contrast. Tomato Leaf, citrus and grapefruit provide a lively opening, but the composition quickly becomes greener and more herbaceous through Fig Leaf, Basil, Mint, Pine and Oregano. Cardamom adds an aromatic, lightly peppery thread, while Woody Notes and Galbanum introduce dry wood and resin. White Musk rounds the final impression, keeping the leafy character soft and close. Rather than relying on overt sweetness or heavy darkness, Laberinto rests on the meeting point of bright citrus, shaded greenery, herbs and musk.
