14 Angelica presents a crisp botanical blend featuring sharp bergamot, crushed violet leaves, earthy angelica root, and pale cabreuva wood. Its texture starts dewy and ozonic, moves into a bitter peppery heart, and finishes with a dry, powdery musky woodiness on skin.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe dominant citrus top note dissipates within fifteen minutes, letting musky and ozonic accords take control. Green violet leaves provide an aquatic stem texture while angelica seed delivers a peppery bite. In the late dry-down, amber and woody cabreuva nuances add gentle warmth without making the fragrance heavy or sweet.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“LabSolue 14 Angelica Editorial Review: Peppery Botanical Musk”
14 Angelica opens with a sharp flash of golden bergamot and freshly cut stem greenness. Nathalie Lorson does not try to sweeten the initial spray. Instead, peppery violet leaves dominate the first ten minutes, giving the scent a crisp, dewy texture that feels like stepping into a greenhouse right after a morning mist. The citrus element is tart and fleeting, clearing the way quickly for the botanical core.
As the initial citrus sizzle settles, the signature angelica root takes center stage. Angelica carries a distinctive double character, blending herbal bitterness with a subtle, anise-like sweetness and earthy seed warmth. Coupled with green violet leaves, the heart feels cooling and slightly aquatic without ever leaning synthetic. It remains dry, airy, and grounded by natural plant fibers rather than heavy resins.
On warm skin, the accord progression shifts from bright citrus to a powdery, musky woodiness. Cabreuva wood emerges around the two-hour mark, adding a light timber frame that prevents the green notes from dissolving into thin air. Amber tones remain quiet in the background, providing just enough warmth to offset the ozonic chill of the opening. The skin transition is smooth, gliding from peppery green to soft botanical musk.
Performance leans conservative, which suits the intimate nature of the fragrance. You get roughly four to six hours of total longevity, with arm-length projection during the first hour. By hour three, it hugs the skin closely. This restrained footprint makes 14 Angelica exceptionally easy to wear in close office quarters, humid summer heat, or casual daytime gatherings where loud designer sillage would feel intrusive.
This perfume targets fragrance enthusiasts who value vegetal complexity over standard floral bouquets or sugary vanilla bases. Both men and women can wear it effortlessly due to its strict gender neutrality. If your wardrobe leans toward understated linen, crisp cotton, and minimal aesthetics, this scent matches that calm, structured energy.
LabSolue delivers an honest, unpretentious portrait of angelica root. The lack of heavy base notes means it will not satisfy lovers of beast-mode performance, but its raw herbal charm makes it a standout choice for warm spring days. Sample a decant if you are curious about peppery green profiles, or grab a full bottle if quiet botanical skin scents are your signature style.
FAQs
What does LabSolue 14 Angelica smell like?+

How does 14 Angelica evolve from opening to dry-down?+
The fragrance opens with a sharp burst of bergamot and green violet leaves. Within fifteen minutes, the citrus settles as earthy angelica root and peppery notes take over the heart. By the third hour, it fades into a soft, powdery skin scent dominated by cabreuva wood and musky amber.
How long does LabSolue 14 Angelica last on skin?+
LabSolue 14 Angelica lasts between four and six hours on skin. The bright citrus and ozonic top notes fade during the first hour, while the earthy angelica root and cabreuva wood dry-down lingers softly. Spraying on clothes or linen shirts extends wear time up to eight hours.
How far does 14 Angelica project?+
Projection is moderate during the first hour, pushing out roughly arm's length thanks to bright bergamot and fresh spicy violet leaves. After ninety minutes, the sillage pulls back into a close skin bubble, making it an intimate scent that people notice only when standing close to you.
What is the best season to wear LabSolue 14 Angelica?+
Spring and summer are the ideal seasons for 14 Angelica. Its crisp green violet leaves and refreshing angelica root shine in warm weather, cutting through humidity without feeling sticky. Cold winter temperatures tend to mute its delicate botanical accents and airy musky background.
Where and when should you wear 14 Angelica?+
Wear 14 Angelica during daytime office hours, casual weekend brunches, and warm outdoor walks. Its polite sillage and clean musky profile make it well suited for tight professional workspaces, medical settings, or quiet morning coffee runs where heavy designer fragrances would feel overwhelming.
Is LabSolue 14 Angelica more masculine or feminine?+
14 Angelica is strictly unisex. Perfumer Nathalie Lorson balanced bitter green violet leaves and earthy angelica root with clean musk, avoiding heavy florals or sugary sweetness. Men who enjoy herbal greens and women who prefer dry botanical scents will find it equally comfortable.

Can you layer 14 Angelica with other fragrances?+
Yes, 14 Angelica layers well with simple citrus or woody scents. Try pairing it with a pure vetiver or cedar cologne to boost longevity and ground its green violet leaves. Avoid layering with thick vanilla or heavy gourmands, which will overpower its delicate angelica root nuances.
How does 14 Angelica compare to Guerlain Angelique Noire?+
Guerlain Angelique Noire pairs angelica with rich vanilla and pear, creating a sweet, luxurious gourmand profile. In contrast, LabSolue 14 Angelica stays dry, green, and peppery, combining angelica root with violet leaves and cabreuva wood. LabSolue is lighter, fresher, and far less sweet.
