Le Labo has launched Eucalyptus 20, a new fragrance…
The daily lemming
If you love Le Labo Santal 33 (or the matching candle, Santal 26) and you love Saturday Night Live, this one's for you: "Live from New York, it’s SANTAL 26! For 50 years, Saturday Night Live has been a weekend standby, an invitation to unwind in front of the small screen and watch beloved characters come to life. An incubator for comedic legends, SNL fearlessly gripped the third rail, lampooned celebrities, spotlighted musical talent... and inspired a cult following matched only by Le Labo's iconic candles. A tribute to half a century of making viewers ugly laugh..." 245g for $96 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

And it has held our attention for far longer than most. “Santal 33 is the icon fragrance of an entire generation, male and female,” said John Demsey, the former executive group president of the Estée Lauder Companies. Not many perfumes can claim that.
