Tokyo's Exclusive: Gaiac 10 – A Subtle Scent That Becomes One with Your Skin.


LE LABO, the New York-based fragrance brand, consistently generates buzz with its revolutionary approach to perfume. This includes their “made-to-order” service, where fragrances are finalized and personalized with a label only after an order is placed, and their simple glass bottles featuring an expiration date based on the purchase date. They also gained recognition for “Rose 31,” the world's first rose fragrance for men.

Last year's Japanese-exclusive Christmas collection, the “City Exclusive Collection,” featuring five scents plus a Tokyo-exclusive, was a major talking point when launched solely at Isetan Shinjuku. This year, the collection returns to the Le Labo Daikanyama store, Isetan Shinjuku, Ginza Mitsukoshi, and JR Osaka Mitsukoshi Isetan, available in limited quantities.

New York - Tubereuse 40” captures the exquisite scent of tuberose. Despite a 30% concentration, it feels surprisingly light and gentle, embodying both a deep, sharp facet and an innocent purity, offering a moment of bliss with exceptional longevity.

Dallas - Aldehyde 44” uses aldehydes generously to enhance its freshness, while musk and vanilla add a distinctive character. It's characterized by a sharp, crisp contrast within its opulent profile.

Paris - Vanille 44” offers a sophisticated Bourbon vanilla, perceptible only to the wearer, alongside woody and amber notes. It's a masterpiece crafted for Paris, the city of love.

London - Poivre 23” features pepper, a widely used spice in perfumery, elevated by Le Labo's finest ingredients and artistry. The warmth of the spices offers a fresh sensation.

Tokyo - Gaiac 10” is a captivating interplay of four high-quality musks and a subtly dry gaiac wood, designed to enhance the wearer's presence.

Los Angeles - Musc 25” masterfully expresses a pure, innocent whiteness, akin to a genderless angel, while simultaneously revealing its hidden depths of desire and shadow.

Chicago - Baie Rose 26” is a blend of pink pepper (baie rose) and various spices, adding depth and accentuating the floral richness of rose.

The Highly Anticipated New Release: SANTAL 33 Has Arrived!


Inspired by the immensely popular “Santal 26” from Le Labo's candle and room spray line, “Santal 33” has finally been released, much to the anticipation of fans. The perfumer is Frank Voelkl, who also created Le Labo's Iris 39, Musc 25 (Los Angeles Exclusive), and Baie Rose 26 (Chicago Exclusive).

With sandalwood as the core, notes of cardamom, iris, violet, and ambroxan are expertly balanced to showcase their individual characteristics, while spicy and leathery accords add a distinctive accent.

This creation, with its warm woody aroma subtly infused with hints of spice, leather, and musk, offers a sensual and comforting experience. It is destined to be loved by all genders, joining the classic line alongside Oud 27.
