In 2015, The New York Times referred to Le Labo's Santal 33 fragrance as 'that perfume you smell everywhere.' It was an immediate cult classic among stylish millennials, embraced by the likes of Alexa Cheung, Justin Bieber, and Emma Roberts. Though the bubble has burst slightly on Santal 33 as a personal fragrance, the popularity of Santal 26 (Le Labo's home version of the scent) is still going strong.
Jennifer Lopez was an early adopter of the Le Labo home scent. She talks about her best candle with Marie Claire, explaining: 'There’s something about having it in a room that makes everything feel extra warm and cozy.' The Kit reports that she ordered several hundred Santal 26 candles per month when the fragrance was first released. It's easy to imagine the scent as a signature in Lopez's home: a mix of sandalwood, cardamom, iris, amber, cedar, and leather.
