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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I absolutely love the smell of these, but it's so expensive, so I am hesitant to repurchase. The in-store experience is super luxe & nice. I'm not sure I could afford to splurge again on myself, but I would happily accept this as a gift as the product works & lasts really well.
Santal 33 is such a distinctive popular scent I feel like its become super basic. I've yet to get the perfume because of the high price but I have the lotion and love the smell.
I have gotten a few of the perfume samples. I love the way the smell and the ethos of the brand.
Was introduced to the Santal 33 scent through trying out their products at hotels, ended up falling in love with the entire line. Smells really luxurious yet still super clean and not too much for everyday use.

Interesting scents and stories.
Santal 33 is a dreaaaaaam scent, and when they customize your name on the bottle???? So cute I'm obsessed.
Santal 33 will always remain an exceptional fragrance. While it may come with a higher price tag, it is undeniably worth every penny. Many brands have attempted to imitate its essence, but none have successfully replicated it in its entirety.
I was gifted a set of their samplers for the holidays last year to find my favorite scent, and Bergamote 22 has slowly made its way to one of my go-tos. The scent is luxurious and lasts forever, and the product is well worth the money.

Amazing smells, high quality luxury store experience
Feedback
The price is just extraordinary when there are great dupes out there.
They make long-lasting scents, but I care less for their body care products.
I loved the in store sensory experience of smelling all fragrance options before deciding which one felt like me. I chose Bergamote 22. The fragrance is incredible and I loved being able to have the label customized.
The scents are interesting/complex and last all day! If you bring back an empty bottle, they'll refill it for you for 20% off.
Love the products and great for gift giving but the scents don’t last.
Smells last, soap is fantastic.
Smells good
Rosy aroma.

Amazing, natural, almost addicting smells. My personal fav is Le Labo, but pretty much any scent is delicious. This is a “stop on the street and ask what you’re wearing” scent. Highly highly recommend. A little goes a long way. Plus the packaging is so chic!

Wonderful silage and unmistakable scents. There's a bit in Neo Yokio where Santal 33 is referenced as the Chanel No 5 of our time, and it's quite true. It's an unmistakable, generation-defining scent. For that exact reason, I think many are averse to wearing it, i.e. because scent is so personal/mysterious and that scent is so recognizable and widely-used. However, its quality and lasting power cannot be denied. I love the Lys, Rose, and Thé Noir scents from Le Labo, as well as their Hindi body wash and santal home candle. Delicious and luxurious scents - I would not be surprised if in 30 years they hold similar standing to Diptyque and Trudon. They just have to prove that the scents will maintain their quality post L'Oreal acquisition (happened a few years ago at this point) and that they can remain timeless/current. I'm optimistic.
I first tried Le Labo while staying at The Edition hotel in NYC. That is, by far, my favorite scent. It's luxurious to wear in a lotion, and elevates any home's space in the diffusor form (both of which we are religious customers of). Some of the scents at Le Labo aren't quite my taste - a bit too citrusy, or musty, or earthy. But The store is inviting to sample scents and see how they wear. They are pricey, especially for the quality (e.g., the lotion's scent lasts, but isn't all that moisturizing), but for the right scents, are a worthy splurge.
