I walked past Le Labo one morning on my way to the gym, it was very early so it was closed but i made a mental note to check it out the next time I was in the area. I managed to make my way to their Williamsburg location, and I couldn’t be happier that I stopped by.
Le Labo is a fully vegan parfumerie, no beeswax in their balms nothing from animals involved with this company. The aesthetic is dark and rustic, and the environment makes you feel like you’ve entered a cave of scents that will somehow give you new powers to move through your life with ease. Que in Dernelle, she works at the Williamsburg location and has been mentioned in multiple reviews of the Williamsburg location. Dernelle walked me through the entire store, showed me the various ways they offer their scents and helped me to find my baby, Vetiver.
Le Labo offers many different ways to experience their scents aside from the obvious large spray bottle pictured above, the ones that interested me the most are displayed below.
This is a very small container of scented balm that is perfect for traveling!
This one is interesting, you dropper the scent onto that little nub pop it into the carrying case and carry around the nub…not into it but it looks cool!
Soap! I love this because when you shower with a good scent I think you eliminate the risk of the scent being too overpowering, just enough to smell it.
Scented lotions are of course popular, I don’t like smelling a lot of a scent ever and I think lotions can be overpowering..these guys managed to keep the scent mild which I love!
This one is my second favorite, a small spray bottle inside of a metal travel case they will engrave your initials into.
Candles! They have these little cuties and they also have some gigantic $500 candles that are beautiful. I saw a few of the big ones in a 10 million dollar home I was shooting in for the day…..you won’t catch me with a 50 pound candle any time soon.
finally what i purchased!! Vetiver is my scent. It’s dark, smoky, and delicious. I got it in the form of an oil (which is the final way to experience their scents and my personal favorite). I love applying this oil before a yoga class, meditation session, and before sleep. I also got the travel spray bottly with YS engraved on the side ;).
If you walk past one of Le Labo’s locations, just go in. I hope you meet someone as amazing as Dernelle is at the Williamsburg stop.
