Le Labo
Le Labo was created in 2006 by two friends wanting to create a scented revolution in a world of conventional perfumery. They opened our first lab at 233 Elizabeth Street in Nolita, New York City, USA.
We believe...
We believe that there are too many bottles of perfume and not enough soulful fragrances.
We believe the soul of a fragrance comes from the intention with which it is created and the attention with which it is prepared.
We believe fine perfumery must create a shock - the shock of the new, combined with the shock of the intimately familiar.
We believe that fine perfumery must be irreverent.
We believe it is more humane to test cosmetics on New Yorkers than on animals.
We believe celebrities should pay full price.
We believe the future of luxury (hence of perfumery) lies in craftsmanship.
We believe in the soulful power of thoughtful hands: hand-picked roses, hand-poured candles, hand-formulated perfumes and handshake agreements.
We believe in the passionate souls who work close to us.
We believe in Hafiz's take on life : "Act great, dear. Always act great".
We believe New York made us this way, with a dose of Wabi-Sabi and a few lines from Thoreau.
We believe we/you should put away our modern tools and take the time to smell the roses along the way.
We believe that we are only young once, but we can be immature forever.
And we believe that explanation kills art. Therefore, forget about all of this!
