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
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.
great smells, lasts a long time, pricey

pricey
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,

Such a classic brand and a great gift idea. I always find myself gifting the personalized label to friends for special occasions. The in store experience is worth it if you find yourself nearby.
Expensive but the best
to be fair, i'd pick margiela jazz club over any perfume any day
Le Labo feels like the best kept secret, but it's so good you want to share it with everyone. The Santal candle, and fragrance have become iconic, often copied scents, but Le Labo's ability to customize the label make it feel like a private club.

The Santal Candle is OG if you want your house to smell like the most luxurious five-star hotel. It's worth every penny. Easily in my top 3 favorite candles of all time.

Truly a luxurious experience from buying the perfume to using it. They personalize the bottle by having your name on it. The smell is very rich and unique.
