Le Labo: Rose 31 and Vetiver 46
These days I'm wandering among Le Labo fragrances and especially Rose31, Labdanum18, Vetiver46 and Oud27. I am writing about them because I found them particularly convincing, modern, creative, yet not too clean and sparkling. They retain a "dirty-ish" quality which I like very much. I invite you to take a look at their website with the artistic manifesto, and at an animation I found really amusing. Le Labo insists on the non-massification of fragrances, non-omologation of taste and style, and in fact their creatures are very different, skillfully put together by artists with different tastes and paths, and they all show the distinctive sign of the mark, whispering measure, simple refinement not at all showy, but where there is room for eccentricity that gives personality to the line as a whole. But I soon dropped the bla bla and focused on fragrances. I started with Rose31 because I know that this note and I have little to share, but I must say I really liked this one.
