Fragrance
Le Labo Rose 31, Sample
Le Labo Rose 31 is a captivating fragrance that transcends traditional floral compositions, offering a complex interplay of notes that evoke both mystique and allure. At its heart, the majestic rose is not simply a sweet or romantic bloom but takes on a darker, more enigmatic character. This transformation is achieved through the introduction of cumin, which adds a spicy, earthy warmth, creating a dry and slightly peppery opening that intrigues the senses. As the fragrance develops, the rose is enveloped by the rich, smoky qualities of vetiver and cedar, infusing the scent with a woody depth that is both grounding and expansive.
As the fragrance unfolds, a deeper complexity is revealed through its base notes. Musk provides a subtle, sensual foundation that is both soft and enveloping. The addition of guaiac wood and agarwood (oud) introduces a resinous, slightly balsamic undertone, adding to the fragrance’s mysterious and magnetic aura. Olibanum and labdanum contribute a smoky, amber-like richness, enhancing the overall texture and depth. Together, these elements create an olfactory experience that is both sophisticated and timeless, inviting the wearer to explore its many layers and nuances with each wear.
