I had a wonderful time at Le Labo in LA today. The women at the store was sooooooo attractive I wanted to stay the whole day and linger. She was unbelievably cute. Not hot not gorgeous but exceptionally cute and anatomically perfect. Now that I'm done objectifying women let me objectify fragrance.
Overall I'm delighted by this brand. They could work on their design and packaging (morgues are more stylish and colorful than this store).
Musc (the LA scent) - was better than anything in LA (except the girl working at Le Labo). Clean slightly flowery scent with a smooth drydown. It had more of a cotton soapy smell than the more pungent animalic scent many musks have. For me this is a plus.
Rose - I hate floral scents. I hate roses. I hate flowers. I hate flower children and floral arrangements. I like sex and violence. I LOVE Le Labo Rose. NO ROSE SCENT HAS EVER BEEN DONE THIS WELL FOR ME! Earthy with a bit of hard Oud shining through. It starts off a little rough but so does exciting sex. Then it smooths into a delicate softness with spices and a hint of rose. A sharp cumin note fades fast and the whole scent gently falls to the ground like silk panties coming off bare legs. I found this fragrance overtly sensual but quiet so I had to make sexual references all the way through. The next woman I date is getting a giant bottle of this since I find it to be the most alluring smell I've come across in a while.
Patchouli - my favorite of the bunch. I think this is the best Patchouli scent out there on the market even though the Patchouli is barely noticeable. I think the review on Now Smell this was written by a crack addict. They say its a BVL Black Extreme. WHAT???? BVL, I like, but its harsh with a caustic rubbry note and a strong vanilla presence. Patchouli by Le Labo is a smooth soft whisper of vanilla lost in a forest of birch wood.
Oud - dirty and gross like any Oud fragrance starts until 3 hours passed. Soft with only a ghost of animal testicles present, enough to make it virile but tolerable. I like. The drydown is very even which is different than most Ouds. I think this would be a great Oud for newbies to Oud since it breaks from traditional Ouds and offers a more "commercialized" Oud that's western.
I'm a big big big fan of Le Labo after today.
Cheers,
Al
