Le Labo Thé Noir 29, Sample
A delightful unisex niche creation from perfumer Frank Voelkl, Le Labo Thé Noir 29 is a refreshing yet complex and rich fragrance. At its opening, the bright, zesty sparkle of bergamot pairs with the juicy, slightly sweet aroma of fig, creating a refined introduction that is both invigorating and sophisticated. The presence of bay leaf adds a subtle aromatic spice, lifting the initial notes with a touch of herbaceous freshness.
As the fragrance evolves, the heart reveals a compelling blend of cedar and vetiver. The cedar provides a dry, woody backbone, while vetiver adds an earthy, grassy depth, both melding seamlessly with a soft undercurrent of musk that lends warmth and sensuality. This interplay of notes creates a harmonious balance, offering a scent profile that is both grounded and airy.
In the dry-down, the fragrance deepens with the rich, smoky allure of tobacco and the rustic, slightly sweet touch of hay. These base notes imbue the composition with a comforting, enveloping presence, rounding off the scent with a smooth, lingering finish that is as alluring as it is timeless.
