Reviews mention

  • Distinctive, complex fragrance profiles
  • Powerful, enduring scent longevity
  • Iconic, compliment‑magnet hero scents
  • Chic, personalized packaging experience
  • Inconsistent longevity across scents
  • Occasionally overpowering scent intensity
  • 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.

  • Beautiful sophisticated scents, and such awesome store locations. Def check out in person. Perfect gift.

  • very heavy and stays on clothes forever. all Le Labo scents are so much better in candle form imo! every time I wear it, it stays on for at least 3 days. you get what you pay for since the wear time is long.

    the fragrances are hard to pull off! I have tried wearing a few of the scents and they all smell terrible on me. I wish they worked on me because I love the way the candles smell.

  • Great perfume, addicting and my husband loves it!

  • They get four stars because they’re so damn expensive… But damn oh damn, even the smallest vile is worth it! A little drop goes a long way and it just feels expensive (not to mention, it is!)

  • I got their santal 33 scent as a gift and I absolutely loved it & got complimented on it a lot. Only thing that is stopping me is the price.

  • The Santal candle is my absolute favourite: looks beautiful and smells divine. I love the personalised labels too that elevate an already chic item to another level and make it a gorgeous gift. It's a pricy brand for sure but everything is quality. Well worth splurging on! I've tried the body and hair care products too which bring real luxe to showering. Extra marks for the recyclable packaging.

  • The first time I caught a whiff of Le Labo was at a restaurant in NYC; amongst a crowd of diners and spices from different dishes, I was still able to smell this mystery. After a few more whiffs of this, I was able to find out that all along this was Santal 33! Be sure to visit the store and ask for samples so you know what you're in for.

    Love their candles and perfumes, can't go wrong with their hero scents-Santal 33, Rose 31, The Noir 29.

  • The scents are very pleasant, and I like that they are generally gender neutral. Also.. people just know you are wearing Le Labo if you are wearing it?

    Their bodycare products leaves more to desire. So expensive :(

  • Lys is my favorite scent. I also love Santal. This is the only fragrance I buy. It’s expensive. BUT sooooo worth it. It makes me feel fancy and puts a pep in my step!

  • Whenever I need to pick up a nice gift for someone, I get the Le Labo sample set, since they personalise it if you order online. It's too expensive to buy a whole bottle for myself at this point in my life, but perhaps one day.

  • When I first smelled this it stopped me in my tracks. I don't like scents a lot but to me this is somehow a scent and a nonscent all at the same time. There are some scents that you reach a point where you think, ok I've inhaled enough to get a good profile of what I am smelling, however, this scent seems to shift at each point of the inhale to the point where you are no longer actively smelling but still smelling something. I'm talking about santal 33 by the way.

  • These are known for their high-quality ingredients and unique blends. But they are quite pricey and did not last long in my skin. I am happy there’s an option for scents that are not harmful to you and me.

  • Such such such expensiveeeee perfumes but god they are amazing! they're a little overdone these days so they feel less luxurious, but the less popular ones just speak class. beautiful scents that anyone can wear

  • For all the hype I was surprised that people want to smell like pickles? I mean pickles smell good but as a fragrance I’ve never smelled anyone in the street wearing santal and been like WOW WHAT IS THAT they are quality fragrances over all though

  • Love the perfumes, candles and bath products from Le Labo! Santal is probably the most famous and my favorite scent here. Hinoki is also pretty good. It is very pricey though :(

  • I love the Le Labo scents. It's just so expensive. A great gift.

  • I've been a Le Labo customer for nearly 10 years. A die hard Another 13 fan since this was an exclusive scent at colette in Paris. I get more compliments when I wear this vs any other perfume. I only wish more department stores had the refillable option for the larger bottles to get the discount. Only larger cities have this at the standalone stores which is a shame.

  • Le Labo is a brand that excels in delivering unique, luxurious experiences through its carefully crafted scents. If you're willing to invest in high-quality, artisanal fragrances, Le Labo offers something truly special. However, be prepared for a premium price tag and consider testing fragrances in-store for longevity and personal preference before jumping in. I think they still offer refills if you bring the bottle back that does cut back on the price. i like the personalization you can do on the label but sometimes i just want to be in and out of the store,

  • i use le labo everyday! another 13 is my favorite scent. i havent tried any others but would love to
