The first pick when closeness to Le Labo matters most.
Its appeal is the familiar overall scent. It can take a few wearings to click, especially if you are looking for a sweet, milky matcha fragrance. The green tea and woods are a bigger part of the experience.
Fig Infusion pairs juicy citrus and fig with black tea, freesia and orange blossom. Sandalwood, cedar and benzoin soften the finish. It shares the fig-and-tea appeal, with a brighter, less creamy character. Observed wear is around 6 hours.
A good choice when you want a fresh fig-and-tea scent with more citrus.
Mandarin and clementine give the opening more lift. Black tea and a floral heart lead into sandalwood and cedar, taking it in its own direction. On some skin the woods can feel sharper or more vegetal.
