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

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 wear Le Labo's Santal 33 fragrance almost everyday and I genuinely love it. I've never received as many compliments on my scent than when I wear it. It lasts all day, and I personally love the way it lingers on my clothing and personal items. It is absolutely beautiful!

    Received a free product from Le Labo
  • It is an icon brand. I have two bottles: Santal 33 and The Noir 29. I love them both. One dose of each last on me for whole day. Of course they are so popular, and it's difficult to stay unique while wearing those scenes, but I still love them. Sometimes I mix them with other perfumes, so it's not so obvious what I am wearing that day. I also love the fact that each bottle has my name on it.

  • I received a bottle of Le Labo Rose (31) for Christmas and loved it. I wanted to try some of their other fragrances out before buying the large bottles and ordered the 5ml sample bottles of their 5 top selling perfumes. Unfortunately 2 of the sprays on the tiny sample bottles were broken when they arrived. Quite pricey for samples that don't work.

  • Have been trying for some time to find a good shampoo for men's hair. Le Labo has a great product.

    Feedback

    A bit expensive, and the packaging of the shampoo is nice but a bit bulky for the shower.

  • I am a major fan of le labo. I carry the hinoki hand cream n my bag at all times and always get the best compliments on it.

    Feedback

    I wish they did more promotions or maybe a student discount to increase accessibility.

  • My son loves Bergamont 22, so I ordered a few sample sizes for him to carry for travel. Not one of them work. Not one! $6.00 a pop. Le labo sent 2 replacements and guess what? They don’t work. What a disappointment Pricey and disappointing. Would not recommend.

  • Branding is 10/10 and products are super luxurious. I wore AnOther 13 as my wedding scent and it's the perfect combination of musky and feminine. I've also tried their body oil and lotion; the scents are super potent and long-lasting, and make your skin feel supple and hydrated - which is what you want from products at this price point!

    Feedback

    The bottle for the body oil leaked, which prevented me from traveling with it as I didn't want to lose product in transit. Perhaps a pump would work better than a squirt bottle?

  • I tried the Labo coffee body scrub. It is divine. It makes my skin smooth and smells of coffee. Tempted to taste it, but I won’t! Such a great product would like to try their other products 10/10.

    Packaging updated that's all

  • Once I tried Le Labo, I haven't used any other perfume since. Their scents are rich and luxurious. The Noir has become my daily staple.

    Feedback

    None

  • I love my sandal 33, it’s a beautiful scent that I think works for any gender. Their retail experience is unique and top notch, I can’t think of any other store that does it like Le Labo, from custom scents to product customization. Amazing gift as products are very pricy.

    Feedback

    Price makes the product inaccessible to many

  • Great product - always looks great, packaging & design. Love the range of scents they have. I find the price a little steep given it's a young brand - thing that brands like this should be priced better.

    Feedback

    Pricing - otherwise really great brand overall.

  • My boss uses this brand. He’s a self made millionaire. Their scents smell like rich people.

  • Shampoo and conditioner felt greasy. Smell is okay.

  • They are one of my favorite brands that produce quality fragrances. They are my go to for gifting, anyone can appreciate smelling nice. They are good quality and worth the price tag. I never feel like one product is lower quality than another, they are so consistent across all their products. My favorite scents are Santal 33 and Rose 31

    Feedback

    I don’t think there’s much this brand could do to improve. Maybe offering more curated gift sets year round rather than just discovery sets.

  • Thé Match and Santal 33 are my favorite scents from the brand.

    Feedback

    I might make more sizes for bottle purchases

  • Obsessed

    Feedback

    Portable version the container is super heavy and clunky, and the bottle inside of it is apparently very fragile so cant be carried without it however purses tend to be small so its hard to carry it

  • Best scents. Coolest packaging. Cade!!! My favorite.

    Feedback

    Just wish it was slightly more affordable.

  • Got some samples and made my first order before the holidays. Scents wear well and last long. All were lovely and I learned a lot about them when chatting in person at the store.

    Feedback

    Maybe more info about the scents on the website? I felt like it was hard to get a breakdown of everything without doing external research.

  • These perfumes are expensive but a little goes a long way - they are powerful. The company has a wide range of scents but I love Noir 29. Both myself and my boyfriend can wear this scent and get lots of compliments. These scents can really be worn by anyone (are not gender specific by any means like some other fragrance houses) and the range of scent profiles is wide enough for everyone to find something they like.

    Feedback

    The ingredients are quality but they are not 'clean' or 'nontoxic'. Because of this, the scents stay on the skin for hours, but it is something to keep in mind before purchasing.

  • I am obsessed with the Le Labo candles! I've bought several over the years but my two recent favorites are the Santal 33 and the Figue 15, they make my house smell amazing. I love the tin packaging too - totally worth the money!
