Le Labo (French: "the lab")[1] is a slow perfumery brand born in Grasse, France, and based in New York City.
History
Le Labo Fragrances is well-known for freshly hand-making and labeling perfumes to order. Their stores act as fragrance labs aimed at revealing the backstage craftsmanship around perfume making.
Le Labo was originally founded in 2006 and later acquired by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc in 2014. The brand is overseen by Deborah Royer, who serves as both the Global Brand President and Creative Director.
The brand became B Corp certified in 2022.
Products
Le Labo’s product line spans across fragrance, home, and body – hair – face, and do not contain animal-derived ingredients.
Known for their craft of Slow Perfumery, fragrances are compounded at the time of purchase with the client's name printed on the labels of the boxes and the perfume bottles. Perfumes can be refilled in many locations around the world, and online in select countries.
Le Labo also sells shampoos, body wash, soap, shower gels, tote bags, diffusers, notebooks and other various body and grooming products.
