Le Labo The Noir 29 ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 12 October 2015 6 Comments

Le Labo Thé Noir 29

Niche line Le Labo will launch Thé Noir 29, a new black tea fragrance developed by perfumer Frank Voelkl.

Thé Noir 29, is an ode to the noble leaf and the craft that surrounds it.

Thé Noir 29 combines depth and freshness, softness and strength through permanent oscillation between the light of bergamot, fig, and bay leaves and the depth of cedar wood, vetiver and musk.

A special extraction of black tea leaves wraps up the composition by bringing to the formula a dry, leafy, hay, tobacco feeling in the dry down to transform this creation into a sensuous and addictive essence.

Le Labo Thé Noir 29 debuts in November, in 50 ($160), 100 ml ($240) or 500 ($820) ml. Also available: the travel tube kit ($145), Perfume Oil ($130), Liquid Balm ($85) and Solid Perfume ($85). Other body products will follow in Spring 2016.

        I love black tea, too. No promises on being able to smell it, but the new Nordstrom’s in Vancouver has a le Labo counter, so it’s at least possible now.

          Nice — now I’ll cross my fingers that my Nordstrom will get one.

    Tested this today. I don’t get black tea but that’s Le Labo, the name of the fragrance usually isn’t the starring note. It does smell like their Figue 15 and Laurier 62 candles. To me this is about fig and bay leaves, it’s nice, if a little safe for Le Labo, which makes me wonder how much of that is due to their acquisition by Estee Lauder.
