[…] Le Labo is an exclusive and still fairly new perfume boutique in New York that prides itself in “freshly hand made scents developed by some of the world’s most renowned noses”. A similar approach to that of Frederic Malle’s is used, the exception being the fragrances are mixed right there and then, on the spot, upon your purchasing them. I find this novel concept quite fascinating with perhaps just one reservation - I wonder how this type of mixing affects the quality and longevity of the scent (an average of one year, per Le Labo folks). Nevertheless, Le Labo creations are note-worthy. A few months back I briefly talked about their Jasmin 17. Today, I’d like to share my impressions on their newest - Tubereuse 40. […]

I thought it was pretty, feminine, fluttery…in one word- lovely. Not amazingly unique or anything, but so pretty and so wearable. Maurice Roucel rocks.

Hi, J.! I’ve enjoyed pretty much all of the ones I’ve tried, too, and guess what? My hubby really liked the Vetiver as well! I think you should get a full size bottle of Labdanum. Just thought I’d help you out here.

I have really enjoyed all of their scents (well, I’ve tried 6 or 7). My favorites probably are Patchouli and Ciste (now Labdanum)–I might also add Vetiver, but my husband stole it from me: it smells great on him! Iris, Jasmine, and Rose seem good as well. But I am trying to figure out which to buy in a larger size, and I think I will go with the first two, since my discovery set vials are already gone. . .

You know, I had no idea what litsea cubeba was, hence the hyperlink. But, no, haven’t tried any of the recipes myself.

I love it too! Maybe I love it for its lemony litsea cubeba, which reminds me of the book Mandy Aftel wrote with recipes that actually use litsea cubeba. Anybody try her recipes?

I’m sorry you were disappointed, V. I truly love this one.

It is pretty, but I expected much more. The jasmine note is very close to Armani Code for Women, which is actually a disappointment.
