Le Labo Fragrances Are Downright Addictive—14 I Can't Stop Thinking About After a Single Spritz

Scent Type: Warm spices

Notes: Cardamom, iris, violet, ambrox, Australian sandalwood, papyrus, cedarwood

This Le Labo favorite, which draws inspiration from the wide plains of the American West and all the imagery that comes with it, has been dominating my social media platforms since it was launched in 2011. This fragrance combines woodsy notes of Australian sandalwood, cedarwood, and earthy papyrus with powdery fresh cardamom, iris, and violet with a smoky finish. Addictive and cozy, it's a scent that feels like home.

Customer Review: "I am a certified fragrance junkie! I own too many fragrances but can always find room for one more...but it has to be awesome! Santal 33 lives up to that standard. It is not sticky sweet like most fragrances today. It is a deep, rich aroma that is simply amazing! I get so many compliments every time I wear this."

Scent Type: Fruity floral

Notes: Mandarin, orange blossom, salt crystal, watermelon, jasmine, neroli, musk, tonka bean, vanilla

Neroli refers to the essence of orange blossom, which is the lush floral note this perfume is built around. It offers sun-soaked florals (jasmine, rose, and neroli) balanced by slightly aldehydic mandarin orange. Then, the fragrance unfurls further, offering a warm, sensual base of tonka bean, musk, and vanilla with a touch of salt crystal. A few spritzes are all you need to transport yourself to a white, sandy beach.

Longevity: 5 hours

Customer Review: "Really love Neroli 36. After several repurchases, I can say I am pretty addicted. I find it discretely fresh, elegant and joyful with a modern neroli floral beach vibe. I wear this during warmer months to remind me of being on [a] summer vacation and in the colder months to add some joyful sunshine. Very elegant, fresh and beautiful. Also adore the body lotion which is slightly different (has a bit more of juicy sweetness) and pairs really well with the EDP."

Scent Type: Earthy woods

Notes: Ambrox, musk, woody amber, jasmine petals, moss, ambrette seeds

Recently, we've seen an uptick in skin-like fragrances. Le Labo's Another 13 had continued to set the standard for what skin scents should be. Le Labo describes the hypnotizing perfume as "an addictive dirty potion" and has notes of jasmine petals and moss met with warm musk and woody amber. It was commissioned as an exclusive scent for AnOther Magazine, and I've been enamored by it for years.

Longevity: 5 to 6 hours

Customer Review: "This is the epitome of a 'your skin but better' scent. It's clean, fresh, light, and feminine without smelling like an obvious sprayed-on fragrance. The longevity is incredible as expected of Le Labo. I personally wear this fragrance year round and have received many compliments longer after my own nose stopped smelling the scent on myself."

Scent Type: Amber floral

Notes: Centifolia rose, cumin, olbanum, cedar, amber, Gaïac wood, cistus

When asked my opinion of Le Labo's Rose 31, I like to describe it as the ideal rose fragrance for anyone who refuses to believe the 'traditional' note can be modernized. Rose 31 challenges everything we would normally expect from a rose-based perfume, balancing a Centifolia Rose note with a vibrant blend of warm, spicy, and woodsy notes, including olbanum (frankincense), cedar, amber, cumin, and cistus against a base of Gaïac wood.

Longevity: 4 to 5 hours

Customer Review: "I’m not a fan on florals scents so I was hesitant to buy this. After hearing friends rave about it I finally ordered it and I am so glad I did! It’s rose, but not. It’s spicy and deep, and even a little woody? I loved that rose blended nicely and wasn’t the sole scent. I’ll finish this bottle and repurchase!"

Scent Type: Green citrus

Notes: Orange blossom, leather, patchouli, birch, tar, vanilla

If you're in the market for another orange blossom-centered fragrance with a touch of depth, I invite you to consider adding Le Labo's Fleur d'Oranger to your fragrance collection. While there's more than enough scents I love that combine floral notes with leather, this underrated perfume has become an instant favorite of mine since it's bright and mysterious. Green notes are countered with creamy vanilla, earthy leather, patchouli, birch, and more.

Longevity: 5 hours

Customer Review: "One of my favorite Le Labo scents. Comes in a beautiful bottle and lasts a long time. The scent stays on throughout the day. It has a very fresh yet deep scent to it, and the orange blossom is just the right strength. Everyone I pass by loves the smell of it! I'd totally recommend this to a friend or family member."

Scent Type: Fresh fruits

Notes: Orange blossom, grapefruit, petitgrain, amber, bergamot, vetiver, cedar, musk

If you're on the hunt for a fragrance that's bright and energizing, snag the crowd-favorite Bergamote 22 Eau de Parfum. One of my favorite lively fruit scents to date is this perfume, which opens with orange blossom complemented by juicy grapefruit and petitgrain. Its second layer possesses the sweetness of amber before shifting into musky and woodsy notes for intriguing depth. It also has a fitting code name: fire cologne.

Longevity: 5 hours

Customer Review: "Alongside Santal 33, Bergamote 22 is my favorite Le Labo fragrance. I've tried many bergamot scents, but this seems to have that little extra something. That first spray is sparkling and so uplifting and the dry-down is so seductive with clean woods musks."

Scent Type: Warm spices

Notes: Orange flower absolute, cedar atlas, tonka absolute, musks

While I've only just fallen in love with wearing warm spices year-round, I'm glad to have also discovered Le Labo's Tonka 25 as a yummy summer scent. Inspired by the smell of humid summer woods (warm, dark, and green), it evokes the smell of warm skin and resinous wood using a unique combo of orange flower absolute, cedar atlas, styrax resins, tonka, and musks. When I wore this, I was instantly transported back to late summer evenings spent exploring my childhood backyard.

Longevity: 6 hours

Customer Review: "Tonka 25 embodies the fresh, natural, clean scent that I love. I'm happy to have stumbled across this brand. I got a sample of Santal 33 and liked it so much that I bought a bottle of it. It came with a sample of Tonka 25, which I liked even more as an everyday scent. It's not quite as strong as the Santal 33. So I bought a bottle of Tonka 25 Eau de Parfum and lotion. It's a soothing, relaxing scent that I'd encourage those who don't like floral perfumes to try."

Scent Type: Warm floral

Notes: Bitter orange, jasmine sambac, neroli, orange blossom, sandalwood, amber, musk, vanilla

This one is described as a modern alternative to the most traditional floral fragrances and is one of those rare jasmine fragrances that's less powdery and more fresh-feeling. The jasmine is amplified with an inviting and luminous blend of musk, sandalwood, and vanilla to complement bright bitter orange and orange blossom. Plus, it makes the perfect spring-to-summer fragrance.

Longevity: 4 to 5 hours

Customer Review: "I've made a lifetime quest of searching for the 'perfect' jasmine fragrance...and this is it. Given to me by my bridesmaids on my wedding day, the bottle was customized and will forever evoke blissful memories and scents of our wedding in a garden."

Scent Type: Earthy woods

Notes: Fig, bergamot, bitter orange, sesame, cedarwood, vetiver, matcha tea

When it comes to unique, earthy fragrances, this green tea inspired scent is at the top of my list. Le Labo's Thé Matcha 26 delivers a warm and wearable matcha tea accord paired with notes of soft vetiver and cedar wood. Lingering beneath is bitter orange, which uplifts the fragrance while adding luminosity. It perfectly captures all the coziness I get from drinking a warm cup of matcha before a busy workday.

Longevity: 5 hours

Customer Review: "I’ve been on the hunt for a signature fragrance forever and just can’t seem to find one until I spritzed this on my wrist today. It’s unexpected how complex it is. At first, you think it’s not very strong but then it’s a low enveloping scent that only someone close to you would really appreciate. To me this smells like green fig and a little bit of powdery finish in there and a tiny bit of spice (I’m assuming peppercorn). This will wear well on a woman or a man. Going back to buy the bottle after work!"

Scent Type: Cool spices

Notes: Pepper, gaiac wood labdanum, cedar, olibanum

Everyone deserves a cool and spicy perfume in their collection, and I'm convinced Vetiver 46 is one of the best on the market at the moment. Launched in 2006, this familiar favorite has vetiver at its heart. The scent also features many essences, pepper, gaïac, labdanum, and cedar, making it one of the most complex fragrances I've come across to date. It's the ultimate "cool girl" perfume in my book.

Longevity: 6 hours

Customer Review: "This is a bold, smoky-woody fragrance that immediately paints an image of chilly, golden autumn days. There’s an earthy dryness to it that feels grounding, while the smokiness adds a sense of calm familiarity, almost like the scent of burning leaves or distant fireplace smoke. It’s atmospheric and quiet in its confidence."

Scent Type: Chypre floral

Notes: Citrus accord, gardenia, ylang-ylang, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver oakmoss, benzoin

Surprise! Le Labo has also created the dreamiest chypre floral for all of you out there. Blooming garden notes paired with earthier ones will have you longing for midsummer moments. A dynamic duo of Tahitian gardenia and ylang-ylang demands our attention while patchouli, sandalwood, and a hint of citrus mingle to round out a lush floral bouquet. It honestly makes me want to pull on my Hunter boots and spend the day pruning the yard.

Longevity: 5 hours

Customer Review: "I hear a lot about other Le Labo fragrances but not this one, and I don't know why—it's incredible! I wouldn't normally go for chypre fragrances but this blows my mind, it's vastly underrated and complex, beautifully balanced. It's become my every day fragrance!"

Scent Type: Spicy musks

Notes: Bergamot, bay leaves, black tea, fig, hay, tobacco, cedarwood, vetiver, musk

If you're on the hunt for another tea-inspired fragrance, then you'll want to pick up Thé Noir 29. It's an ode to black tea and combines the light notes of bergamot, fig, and bay leaves with dark cedarwood, vetiver, and musk. It's also worth noting that there's another scent reminiscent of hay and tobacco leaf that reveals itself upon dry-down.

Longevity: 5 to 6 hours

Customer Review: "For the first time in my life, I’ve had multiple people ask me what scent I am wearing. I was using Santal [33] previously, but it was a little too leathery for me, so decided to go with this scent. It works so well for me and lingers for days. 10/10 recommend!"

Scent Type: Fresh woods

Notes: Dry juniper berry, patchouli, green leaves

A clean scent that's celebrated for having earthy, woody qualities is an easy blind buy for me (which I rarely do for other scent profiles). This perfume is brimming with crisp, wet notes of dry juniper berry, patchouli, and green leaves. It's not quite an aquatic fragrance, but there's still a very clean and water-like quality to it. Right now, I only have the tester size, but I already have eyes on the 1.7-ounce bottle.

Longevity: 5 hours

Customer Review: "Now, this is intoxicatingly addictive. It's long-lasting (so much so, I can still smell it after a shower), without being overpowering or heady. It smells musky, salty, green, fresh, dark, woody and spicy, without being masculine. It's hard to describe such a gorgeous scent."

Scent Type: Classic floral

Notes: Lily, jasmine, tuberose, absolute, ambrette, vanilla and musks

Lovers of classic florals who are looking for a way to add a little edge to their vibe will love Lys 41. It's a lush white floral fragrance that continues to bloom using a bewitching blend of jasmine, tuberose absolute, and lily. The bouquet is set against noble woods, vanilla Madagascar, and musks. In the end, we're left with a floral fragrance that's familiar, yet both mysterious and addictive.

Longevity: 5 to 6 hours

Customer Review: "I don't even want to say go out and buy this, because I want to keep it all for myself! It is lovely, just what I was hoping for. I have been searching high and low for my special scent and finally found it! I have received several compliments on this—it's light, green, and one I hope to wear for the rest of my life."
