About Le Labo

Le Labo was founded in 2006 in New York City by Eddie Roschi and Fabrice Penot with a radical vision: to bring artisanal integrity back to the fragrance industry. Every Le Labo fragrance is hand-blended at the time of purchase, with the customer's name and preparation date printed on the label. Named after the French word for the lab, the brand approaches fragrance with a scientific rigor paired with artistic passion. Their candles feature the same high-quality fragrances as their perfumes, with Santal 26 being one of the most sought-after home fragrances in the world. Le Labo's commitment to sustainability includes refill programs and minimal packaging.
