Le Labo Thé Noir 29
A hypnotic ode to black tea: luscious ripe fig, aromatic bay leaf, and an earthy, brooding base of cedarwood, vetiver, and cured tobacco.
Le Labo Thé Noir 29 is a celebration of the noble black tea leaf and the craft of artisanal perfumery. The fragrance opens with a captivating contrast of succulent, velvety fig, sparkling bergamot, and the aromatic herbal punch of bay leaf. The structure deepens through a core of crisp cedarwood, earthy vetiver, and clean musk. The drydown reveals its full hypnotic depth: a remarkable extraction of black tea leaves, hay, and dry tobacco leaves. Offering an exceptional 10 to 12 hours of longevity, it leaves an evocative, poetic trail wherever you go.
