Le Labo’s violet-, iris-, and leather-scented Santal 33 is viral for a reason, and also happens to be one of BAZAAR editors’ top picks for date night. Contributing beauty director Genevieve Monsma previously said the fragrance’s woody earthiness,”Demands to be noticed, yet manages not to be cloying. Its appeal lies in the fact that the scent is sensual and warm, but understated, with a vibe that’s more crackling fire and cashmere PJs than high heels and red lipstick.”

Anyone who doesn’t want their perfume walking into a room before they do can probably agree that Baie 19 serves as the perfect base layer of scent. It’s notes of juniper berry and patchouli are inspired by petrichor, or the wet, drenched effect water gives the Earth after it rains.

The woody, earthy scent of Thé Noir 29 is intended as an ode to the craft of tea making. It contains a robust balance of musky, citrus-y notes that linger on the skin for hours.
One satisfied customer writes:
“OK, wow. I received a sample in the mail today and I wanted to write a review as I am getting ready to purchase the full-size bottle. I am very picky when it comes to finding a perfume that I actually love because even some of the biggest name perfumes turn me off because of the overpowering alcohol scent that never goes away after applying. Noir 29 has such a complex woody yet fresh scent that I can’t describe besides saying it smells like I’m having dinner at sunset on the beach during early autumn. That’s it. It’s that good.” —Michelle97
