  • Distinctive, complex fragrance profiles
  • Powerful, enduring scent longevity

  • Sooty, fast‑burning candle performance

Le Labo delivers distinctive, long‑lasting fragrances that draw frequent compliments, according to reviews, yet opinions split on wearability and strength—some scents project for days while others fade quickly or feel overpowering. Reviews praise Santal 33, Another 13, Rose 31, Thé Noir 29, Matcha 26, and potent candles, plus personalized labels and refillable bottles; weaknesses include very steep pricing, occasional batch inconsistency and broken sample sprayers, some bodycare underperforming, and candles that soot or burn too fast.

  • I absolutely love Le Labo candles and fragrances. They are the best quality. I also love how personalized the experience is when you buy one in person, and how unique the branding is.

  • Beautifully crafted experiences, somehow perfectly packaged into a bottle. Talk about transportive (!!) Always been a fan from afar and recently bought my first perfume (never going back).

    Wish this product was more affordable and accessible to audiences.

  • Truly classic / timeless scents! You know it's really high quality when the scent lasts on your clothes all throughout the day. Santal 33 is a fan favorite and love the running joke that 50% of NYC smells like this one

    Would love to buy travel sizes in a set!

  • I love this brand! Highly recommend! The scents are amazing. I receive so many compliments from others when I use it. I love the personalized labels as well.

  • I have multiple candles which I love. We get so many compliments from guests in our home when they are lit! They have many fragrances to choose from, we love Santal 26 which gives off: amber, cocoa, vanilla, cedar, spices, musk, and sandalwood . This brand definitely have a luxury price tag, but it's well worth your dollars!

  • I really enjoy the weight of their scents - the brand aesthetic is so effective

  • My first Le Labo experience was when I stayed at an EDITION hotel, which has the signature scent of Le Labo's Noir 29. Love, love, love it - the scent is rich and multi-dimensional, very aromatic. Looking forward to get another bottle of it soon.

  • Santal 33 is the most amazing scent, I love it as a candle. You can not go wrong with Le Labo perfumes. Very high quality and the scent wears very well.

  • Loved the store experience, the people working there were really helpful in putting together a scent that I liked. I also love their packaging design and ability to personalize. Very cool!

    I didn't see any really small sample viles to test or bring home.

  • Definitely a splurge, but the scents are perfect. Its one of the only perfumes I've ever finished the bottle of. The candles really have big impact, especially in smaller NY spaces!

  • While working on a cruise ship, I got to try Le Labo products, and they quickly became my favorites. We had Santal 33 in the cabins, and it made such a difference in my long shifts at sea. The scent—warm, woody, and subtly spicy—created this sense of calm and luxury, even in the middle of a busy day. It lingered for hours, so I’d catch hints of it during my shift, and it instantly made me feel refreshed. Now, every time I smell it, I’m taken back to those serene ocean views. Le Labo has definitely become a part of my daily routine!

  • I Love lys 41! It’s a very rich white floral fragrance. Gives off angelic whimsical vibes! Beautiful and lasts all day!

  • I went to their store in Shibuya Tokyo, and was surprised by how small the store is. But they have unique scents for certain cities, which is always why it's worth visiting their store when traveling. Their Tokyo scent, Gaiac 10 is incredible and subtle.

  • I have a complaint. First, I went into the store to purchase a small bottle of Santal 33, it smells wonderful and lasted the entire day. So, I decided to order the next size of it, however, when it came, I sprayed it on, and it smell diluted, and the smell did not last even 30 minutes. I decided to ride to the store and return it, well the representative handed me another watered-down bottle. Seems mixed was a bad batch; but still sold it anyways). I am so disappointed I spent almost $300.00 on a knockoff. This is not what I order, your establishment should do better business than this.

  • I wear the noir 29 and love it. Santal 33 is another favorite. What I love is that these fragrances are very unique. I also love that samples are reasonably priced so you are not stuck with a fragrance you dislike. The scent lasts a long time on me, which makes it a great value.

  • The Noir 29. That is all. The first time i smelled it on a friend i knew i had to have it. Run, don't walk! Or don't, because I'd love to keep this a low key scent!

  • I love so many perfumes from the. My favourite has to be Tonka and Santal an ROse and Another 13, the list will never stop... I alwatys get asked about the fragrance I am wearing. The longivity is realllly long and stays forver on you. 100000% worth the money

  • Santal 33 was my first grown-up, fresh-out-of-college fragrance, and it was definitely a scent that would stop people in their tracks to ask me about. Switched over to Thé Noir 29 at a certain point, but living in LA, the ubiquity of these scents has turned me off of wearing them. Unfortunate because I still adore those scents. 🥲 These days I'm more into Le Labo's candles. Plus, they make perfect housewarming gifts with the personalized labels.
