Le Labo + Anthropologie ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 29 October 2010 26 Comments

Le Labo for Anthropologie fragrances

Le Labo has a new collection of fragrances for the Anthropologie chain:

A collaboration between Anthropologie and Fabrice Penot and Edouard Roschi, founders of New York cult fragrance house Le Labo, this fragrance envelops you in one of five historically inspired scents that pay tribute to the era of perfumery when artisans crafted small batches using the highest quality natural ingredients. Le Labo products are cruelty-free and vegan. Choose from parfum in a vessel inspired by old apothecary bottles or concrete parfum packaged in tins inspired by turn-of-the-century measuring weights.

Chant De Bois (spice) ~ "a femme-woodsy combination of bergamot, grapefruit, pink pepper, patchouli and cedar"

Belle Du Soir (spice) ~ "musky and rich, neroli, water lily and gardenia float above notes of cedar, sandalwood and patchouli"

Orange Discrete (fruit) ~ "a clean citrus blend of petigrain, bergamot, mandarin zest and orange blossom mixed with vetiver, cedar and musk"

Poudre D'Orient (fresh) ~ "exotic aromas of violet leaves, patchouli, vanilla and suede musk"

Bouquet Blanc (floral) ~ "a decadent floral composition of cassis, bergamot, jasmine, tuberose and vetiver"

Le Labo Chant De Bois, Belle Du Soir, Orange Discrete, Poudre D'Orient and Bouquet Blanc are available in 60 ml Eau de Parfum ($62), .16 oz Concrete (solid, $28) or 14.5 oz candle ($32). (via anthropologie)

Update: see a review of Belle du Soir.

    Omg! Two of my favorite brands are having a child.. My wallet is in pain! (But at least they’re more reasonably priced than Le Labo’s stuff..) Though I have to say nothing from this lineup seems too compelling to me..

      My thought exactly.

      For whatever reason, they don’t sound as exciting as they could (other than the Orange Discrete, which I want) …but love the packaging, love the prices and want to try them!

        I was just thinking the same thing as I was reading through the list of fragrances!

        The price point and packaging get an “A,” but the fragrances don’t sound very inspiring to me, either, R.

        Hugs!

          Yep. I think I’d like the orange candle best.

        I spritzed Orange Descrete on just an hour ago. It’s sort of a spicy floral orange, with fairly strong sillage. It reminds me of Pacifica’s fragrance line, and if it came at Pacifica’s price then I’d definitely buy it. At $58 (the price at my local Anthropologie), I’m not so sure. To be fair, I’m anosmic to some musks, so perhaps the composition is more complex than I can sense.

          BTW, at this point the orange notes have mostly dissipated, and the sweet, spicy, woodsy base remains with a hint of neroli. It’s too bad, since the orange notes are very nice.

          I realized, this made me think of Pacifica because it smells pretty similar to Tibetan Mountain Temple.

    Ohhhh I like! I never knew Le Labo scents were cruelty-free and vegan friendly. That’s a nice thing to know…..
    I am very interested in these, esp. the Orange Discrete and Belle du Soir. And the price is very nice too! I am so glad we have an Anthropologie in town!
    Now where is Tama??? I feel a scent trip coming on! :) Happy Friday.

      I am guessing that the number of perfumes that *aren’t* cruelty-free and vegan-friendly is pretty darned small? Not to knock it, just saying :-)

        Robin, do you know of any that aren’t? That could be quite a put-off…

        I’m sure no benzene rings were harmed in the making of these fragrances.

    Agree, they don’t sound all that exciting. But this may be as close as I will ever come to being able to afford Le Labo. :(

      Miss Kitty-if you’d ever like samples of LL Rose 31, Bergamotte 22 or Iris 39, I’d be happy to mail some to you.
      Just email me at :

      And, things are sometimes more (or less!) exciting than they sound. I will certainly give them a shot…

    I agree with all of the above – this seems a fairly pedestrain love child to come from a match between Le labo and Anthropologie. Which won’t keep me from getting over there to do some sniffing sometime in the not-too-distant future…

    OK, now these I am very excited to test. Love the packaging.

      While the packaging is pretty, the stickers are not securely attached to the bottles. When I saw the collection at Anthropologie, all the stickers were peeling off.

    Ummm. Chant De Bois sounds good to me. I kind of like the old-fashioned apothecary bottle.

    Hmm, affordable! If only there weren’t so many citrus notes all over the place. But, Poudre d’Orient sounds amazing. If someone could pry my Oud 27 off of me, I might actually try something new. I am surprisingly curmudgeon-y these days about scent, maybe it’s the change in season.

    They all sound worth at least a sniff, if not a try. The packaging is great, the price is right!

    you know, i could have been clever and intellectual and all that, but you know what???

    Dolfin Chocolat Noir Au Poivre Rose (chocolate with pink pepper)(now THERE is a perfume for you!!!!!)

    would love to win and love the thought behind listing books and chocolate! I also love Anthropologie mostly for how it’s decorated and the whimsical things they carry. I love just about any chocolate but chocolates by Bernard Callebaut are amazing. A wonderful book to read is the Invisble Bridge but I don’t remember the author.
