There’s rarely a day that goes by when walking through London’s Underground, passing someone on the street or strolling through the lobby of ES HQ without catching a whiff of one of Le Labo’s hugely coveted aromas.
Founded in New York in 2006, the brand has gone on to worldwide domination, turning the traditional gendered fragrance industry on its head with its unique, unisex, and now ubiquitous collection of artisanal perfumes. A status symbol in its own right, a bottle of Le Labo on a bathroom shelf says a lot about a person; elegance, sophistication and class. When you purchase one of these scents, it is formulated by hand in a specialised lab with custom-printed labels and the option to refill for a discount.
