Comments on: Perfume Review: Tubereuse 40 by Le Labo http://www.aromascope.com/wp/2006/11/02/tubereuse-40-by-le-labo/ A perfume blog about all things perfume - reviews, shopping, recommendations. Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:54:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Aromascope » Aldehyde 44 by Le Labo http://www.aromascope.com/wp/2006/11/02/tubereuse-40-by-le-labo/#comment-6809 Aromascope » Aldehyde 44 by Le Labo Tue, 27 Feb 2007 04:34:57 +0000 http://www.aromascope.com/wp/2006/11/02/tubereuse-40-by-le-labo/#comment-6809 [...] Le Labo, the hip, New York based fragrance line, has come up with what they seem to think a brilliant idea of exclusivity: creating city-specific perfumes, namely, they’re only available for purchase in that city and require your physical presence. The first one, Tubereuse 40, was crafted for New York where it can be purchased at Barney’s or Le Labo boutique. The next one in line is Aldehyde 44 to honor the city of Dallas and its newly reopened Barney’s. What’s behind this incongruous idea is beyond me. Do they want us to travel to these cities to help the economy? Do they want us to simply suffer over not being able to even place a phone or online order? Or is it simply a random, whimsical concept? I’m afraid I don’t have the answers. What I do have the answer to, though, is the question whether the perfumes are good - yes, they are. Moreover, the city-specific ones leave a much better impression on me than their regular range. Such is the case with Aldehyde 44 - it is the best Le Labo scent so far. End of rant, for the scent’s sake alone (for now).

I get more Neroli in Tubereuse and more ocean notes in Neroli. I am glad to know you feel the same way about the Tubereuse. I just thought I was not cool enough to "get it". HA! I agree with you Ina.

Lovely. BTW -- someone's already selling decants of this on eBay. So as far as their store policy -- good luck with that, guys.

Your impression is right on. I don't know why I didn't stress the citrus in my description. I think it's like a tonic. Drinkable. Hello,
