Le Labo reviews and discussion

Le Labo represents a certain lifestyle, a dreamy and classic Parisian style, a scent of future luxury, as if wearing it would make you irresistible. Almost. When the perfume brand tries to make other body care products, they are simply pretty but ineffective. I'd rather go with Aesop.

I love Le Labo! Santal 33 is my favorite perfume and I've been using it for the past 4 years. I have a full size on my perfume tray and then I always carry a sample size with me. The only thing that is a bummer is the price point, it's definitely more on the expensive side, but sooo worth it to smell sooooo good.

Longtime fan of Le Labo ever since visiting their San Francisco location years ago. I loved Santal 33 for the first year I had it, and then it became a little too overwhelming for me. My new fave is Colone 17, which is a home spray fragrance I wish they would make into perfume.

they are the best at what they do — while some others have tried to replicate, it’s simply not the same product as a true Le Labo frangrance.

It's so expensive, but I will forever be obsessed with Bergamote 22. I first inhaled it in 2018, and I knew one day it would be mine! It was my first "woman in the city" purchase 6 months after moving to NYC. It smells more nuanced every time I wear it. It doesn't have the biggest sillage, but when it lingers on my clothes and I can still pick up the citrus and flowers a few days later, it feels like coming home.

I wanted to pick a Perfume out that would be “my smell”… I heard nothing but wonderful things about Le Labo. Let me tell you, it’s worth every single penny. It lasts and I get sooo many compliments! Highly recommend!

Santal 33 was the very first perfume I ever liked start to finish and bought. I vividly recall my friend spraying it before dinner out and it was so warm without being sweet that I fell in love instantly. This is truly a “femme fatal” perfume if I’ve ever smelled one.

I adore the brand and their scents. I stay away from Santal or Another cause I don’t want to smell like everyone. Tonka is great for layering and Lys is a lovely waxy white floral. Also adore their Hinoki body care.

A secret handshake to end all others. Not all hand creams and created equally and Le Labo’s leave everyone else in the dust. I will repurchase this time and time again.

Le Labo is one of those brands that makes you feel something the second you step into their store. The ritual of having a fragrance blended and labeled just for you feels deeply personal, almost like you’re being let in on a secret. I’ve worn Santal 33 on and off for years. It’s become iconic to the point of being overexposed, but the truth is: it still smells like comfort to me. Smoky, warm, and grounding. That said, Le Labo is not without its contradictions. The price point is steep, and while the hand-labeling and “freshly compounded” narrative is part of the charm, sometimes it feels more like branding than necessity. I’ve also noticed their scents can be polarizing: either people love them or find them overwhelming. What I do appreciate, though, is how their fragrances linger. They’re not forgettable spritzes. They evolve on the skin, sometimes in unexpected ways. When I wear Another 13, strangers stop me to ask what I’m wearing. When I light their candles, the whole room transforms. For me, Le Labo isn’t about collecting every product or buying into the hype. It’s about having one or two scents that feel like part of your identity. A reminder that fragrance can be both luxury and intimacy.

My husband and I use this travel kit every time we go anywhere and it’s far superior than any hotel soap and shampoo / conditioner. High quality canvas packaging, smells great, good size that fits in my backpack.

Santal 33 is my current favorite scent. I love the brand I love its uniqueness. I love the ability to customize your product label it makes it special!

Been using Le Labo for years and are obsessed with the Santal 33 scent. Always gets me so many compliments and stays on all night. Also love that you can get it personalized with your name on it, feels so luxurious.

First tried their shampoo, soap, and conditioner during my stay at The Edition hotel in NYC. Le Labo created a customized scent for the hotel and the scent (and the whole experience of using the product!) was so mindblowingly amazing that I immediately dragged myself to their store to grab larger bottles. Unfortunately they do not sell The Edition version (Le Labo, if you see this, I BEG YOU......Please sell..) but I did get their Rose 31 Shampoo, which is custom made for The Fairmont hotel.

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST CANDLE I HAVE EVER HAD. SO SENTIMENTAL. SO PERFECT.

santal candle. that's it. that's the review.

Some of my favorite fragrances are from Le Labo. I’m a personal fan of Baie 19.

I love Le Labo’s candles and perfumes — the quality is incredible and the scents linger in the best way. I recently discovered Verbaine and it’s become a new favorite. The fragrances are definitely pricey, but they last for months (if not years), so the cost per wear ends up feeling reasonable.

Compliments every time! The smell of luxury.

Although I highly rate the brand overall, I was very disappointed to discover that Estee Lauder/Le Labo has changed the formula for its Rose 31 Body Lotion, and in the process really altered its richness. I used to use two pumps every morning, now to cover the same area I need three, which means it's going to last a lot less long that it did before. And the lotion itself is thinner and ultimately less moisturising. I've used it for many years, and it's galling to discover that the formula has changed without any warning to customers.
