Le Labo was founded in Grasse in 2006 by Fabrice Penot and Edouard Rosch, moved its retail identity to New York, and now belongs to Estée Lauder. The house's signature is city-batched, hand-labelled bottles and a naming convention, a note + a number for the total ingredient count (Santal 33, Rose 31, The Noir 29, Bergamote 22). Scendira lists 74 Le Labo fragrances with 22 in stock, priced $15 to $549. The catalogue leans woody-unisex on average. Community top five in stock: The Noir 22 Perfume Oil (black tea-cedar-vetiver-fig, 2016), Santal 33 Perfume Oil (sandalwood-leather-papyrus-cedar, 2012), Vetiver 46 Perfume Oil (vetiver-olibanum-amber, 2012), Poivre 23 London (pepper-labdanum-vanilla-incense, 2008) and Bergamote 22 (bergamot-vetiver-grapefruit-orange blossom, 2006). Santal 33 is the global anchor, one of the defining unisex "urban woody" fragrances of the last 15 years. Perfume-oil formats rate consistently higher than the EDPs in this stocked range.
