Le Labo’s Top 5 Hero Scents
Meet the five fragrances that define Le Labo’s scented revolution
Rejecting the conventions of modern perfumery, founders Eddie Roschi and Fabrice Pernot created Le Labo in New York with a belief that fragrance should stir something deeper. Rooted in the city's creative energy and uncompromising spirit, the brand has remained committed to craftsmanship over convention. The result is a collection of meticulously crafted scents, where intention, artistry and emotion come together in compositions that are instantly recognisable.
When Liberty first introduced the brand in 2007, as its first counter in the UK, wearing one of its fragrances felt like being part of a well-kept secret - a subtle signifier recognised only by those in the know. Today, those same scents have become modern icons and remain among Liberty’s most-loved fragrances. Within a collection of cult classics and enduring signatures, discover five hero scents that have come to define the world of Le Labo.
1.
Santal 33
Arguably Le Labo’s most known scent, Santal 33 is at once timeless and transcendent. Fusing smoky wood alloy, spices and leather with floral notes of iris and violet, the scent transports you to the rugged, dusty plains of the American West, where the air simmers with unrelenting heat, and dusk brings an indigo-blue night sky, spattered with stars and flickering firelight.

Born from a collaboration with iconic style title AnOther magazine, this scent became so adored that Le Labo added it to its classic collection[HB2.1], signature scents that are available globally all year round. It’s a musky scent that smells somehow clean and a little dirty at the same time – like an elegantly dressed woman with a filthy sense of humour.

Jasmin 17
For those with a penchant for floral fragrances, Jasmin 17 is the scent par excellence. Exclusive to Liberty, this wickedly sensual and alluring fragrance is a distinct departure from floral fragrances of old. Creamy, warm notes of sandalwood, musk and vanilla amplify enchanting jasmine, creating a heady, intoxicating scent that’s guaranteed to turn heads.

An ode to the noble tea leaf, and the history of craft that surrounds it, Thé Noir 29 is a study of juxtapositions; depth and freshness, strength and softness. As warm and cocooning as a carefully brewed cup of tea, this fragrance combines fresh bergamot, fig and bay leaves with rich, deep cedar wood, vetiver and musk. Featuring a black tea leaf extract and tobacco-bay leaf that offers a dry, leafy, hay-like feeling in the dry-down, resulting in a scent that is truly unparalleled.

Thé Matcha 26
Matcha is far more than a drink - it is woven into the very fabric of Japan's history. As the ceremony of preparing matcha invites stillness and peace, a single whiff of Thé Matcha 26 brings us back “in”, quieting the hum of life’s busyness. Matcha tea accord is infused with a creamy fig note, grounded by soft vetiver and textural cedar woods, and uplifted by enticing bitter orange. Carrying a noble stillness, this grounded, introverted fragrance is a perfect example of a skin scent, a fragrance designed to mimic and enhance the natural scent of the wearer.
