Le Labo Labdanum 18 Eau de Parfum

Le Labo Labdanum 18 is an enigmatic unisex oriental fragrance launched in 2006, masterfully crafted by perfumer Maurice Roucel. Defying traditional rules of perfumery, this scent manages to stay soft and intimate on the skin despite its highly concentrated formulation.

The fragrance profile blends a heavy concentration of warm, ambery, and musky chords with subtle sweet and powdery nuances. It features a complex combination of 18 distinct notes, highlighted by rich French labdanum, vanilla, tonka bean, and earthy patchouli. Deeper balsamic accents of birch and gurjan balsam add a woody texture, while animalic notes like civet and castoreum give it a seductive, close-to-the-skin quality. It is a cozy, intimate scent that is deeply personal and evolves uniquely on the wearer.
