Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Le Labo Tubereuse 40 is a fresh, green floral with a citrus lift, described as a women's fragrance.

Shiu 25

7.4

Le Labo · 2026

Floral · Woody · Oriental

Violette 30

7.6

Le Labo · 2026

Fresh · Floral · Green

Le Labo Violette 30 is a unisex scent that pairs white violet and cedarwood with white tea and gaiac wood. The scent is mostly fresh, floral and green: white violet brings a powdery, creamy softness, while cedarwood and gaiac wood set it on a woody base with a smoky, leathery edge. White tea keeps it cool, and spicy, synthetic touches sharpen the blend. Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of ratings is small, so these impressions are tentative. Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur and Chopard Musk Malaki have a close profile.

Osmanthus 19

7.6

Le Labo · 2024

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

It opens with frankincense and lavender, while osmanthus carries the floral heart. The base settles into resinous and woody notes, with spicy and oriental accords softening the sweetness and a synthetic, smoky edge staying in the background. Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, so it works best as a scent worn close to the skin; the sample behind those ratings is small. It is unisex. Armani Privé Encens Satin and Amouage Incense Rori have a close profile.

Bigarade 18

7.7

Le Labo · 2019

It reads as neither masculine nor feminine, and sits comfortably on either. The scent as a whole is fresh and citrus-led: neroli and bergamot give it a bright, floral lift. Green and fruity tones carry that freshness along, with a faint spicy thread through it. Cedarwood lays down a woody base, while musk and ambergris soften it with an animal warmth.
