1 fragrance 0 available · 1 sold out

Born between Grasse and New York, Le Labo was founded in 2006 by Fabrice Penot and Eddie Roschi, two former perfumery professionals. Their first laboratory opened at 233 Elizabeth Street in Nolita. The house went on to develop its collections of fragrances, candles and body care products before being acquired by Estée Lauder Companies in 2014, while retaining its artisanal identity.

Le Labo champions a so-called slow perfumery, with compositions blended and packaged by hand. Each bottle receives a personalised label indicating, among other details, the fragrance, date and city. The laboratory's understated aesthetic extends this artisanal approach.

Le Labo fragrances are all sold out at Fragsplit right now.
