Le Labo is a niche perfume company, born in Grasse and raised in New York City. We sparked a revolution 15 years ago and we remain unconventional in the luxury perfume market today. Every fragrance is freshly hand-blended, and each label is personalized on-site, at the moment of purchase. Mindful in everything we do – from fragrance creations to where we choose to open a new boutique – our primary mission is to share the beauty of our craft with the world. Our values of simplicity, integrity, craft, and community are entwined with who we are, and why we exist. It is more than just product; Le Labo offers sensorial experiences, memories, and a point of view. It is a lifestyle.
Our distribution is intentionally selective with ~80 lab-boutiques worldwide and limited counters within a curated selection of retail partners. Our global office is based in Williamsburg, New York. We are also a part of the Estée Lauder Companies family.
