Le Labo is a niche luxury fragrance brand founded in 2006 by Fabrice Penot and Edouard Roschi in New York City. The brand was established with a focus on artisanal perfumery, personalized service, and transparency in ingredient sourcing. Le Labo was acquired by The Estee Lauder Companies in 2014 and has since expanded significantly while maintaining its original brand ethos.

Le Labo's fragrance collection is structured around a numbering system that identifies each scent by its dominant ingredient and the total number of ingredients in the formula. Key fragrances include Santal 33 (a sandalwood-based scent that has become one of the most widely recognized niche fragrances globally), Rose 31, Bergamote 22, Another 13, and The Noir 29. The brand also offers City Exclusive fragrances, which are specific scents available only in the city for which they were created, such as Gaiac 10 for Tokyo and Tubereuse 40 for New York. All Le Labo fragrances are freshly compounded and hand-labeled to order in the brand's labs. The product range extends to candles, home fragrances, body and hair care, and grooming products.

Le Labo operates its own boutique labs in cities including New York, Paris, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Los Angeles, as well as through select high-end retailers and its e-commerce platform. The brand occupies the premium niche fragrance tier, with standard fragrances typically priced between $90 and $300, and City Exclusives available only in their designated markets.
