Try the handcrafted fragrances of Le Labo
Edouard Roschi and Fabrice Penot first bonded over a shared passion for fine fragrance. After working with some of the world’s most talented noses in Grasse, Milan and Paris, the founders of Le Labo returned to their lab in Nolita, New York, to create a series of hand-blended and truly unique fragrances.
Le Labo takes complicated olfactory experiences and distills them, literally, into elegant new forms. Each fragrance is named for its key ingredient and the number of essences used. Vetiver 46 is a distinctively masculine blend of vetiver with pepper, cedar and olibanum (a relative of frankincense), while Rose 31 uses cumin and cedar for a rugged take on a feminine classic.
Since opening in 2006, Le Labo has expanded across the globe, with the veritable colognes available locally at Mecca Cosmetica. Offering the ultimate in made-to-order perfume, customers have the option of adding their name (or someone else’s) to the label, perfect for the gift-giving season.
