Taxonomy of Scent
DECONSTRUCTING AN ICONIC PERFUMER
The brand’s manifesto is clear as it is simple, they believe in the pursuit of less is more. Launching initially with only ten fragrances in 2006, Le Labo have slowly released only a handful of new scents since, with each release supported strictly with soulful intent. There are now seventeen original perfume blends and a second collection of eleven “city exclusives” scents that can only be found in certain cities around the world.
As a long time follower of Santal 33 in their original series, they recently introduced me to their city exclusives series with a bottle to try. I’ve since fallen in love with Tubereuse 40 (a New York city exclusive) and will continue to appreciate Le Labo for what it represents, the epitome of minimal luxury with a soul for artful fragrances.
