9 Le Labo Scents That Are Low-Key Better Than Santal 33 (There, I Said It)
Look, I'll be the first to admit that Le Labo's iconic Santal 33 scent smells really good. In addition to owning a bottle myself, the scent has become so wildly popular over the years that's it's basically a calling card for in-the-know Millennials. Basically, if you know, you know. But the Brooklyn-based perfume brand has so many more oil-based unisex scents to offer beyond its best-seller—and I'm here to walk you through which ones to consider.
For my own fragrance-buying mission and for your fragrance-buying missions (I'm here to serve), I asked Le Labo to send me samples of their best-selling scents, and they kindly shared their Discovery Kit filled with 17 sample-sized spritzes. Over the past few weeks, I've been switching up my scent on a daily basis, because variety is the spice of life, and I wanted to give you my honest reviews of the nine best Le Labo perfumes.
There are plenty of fragrance reviews out there, but I find them to be quite technical, speaking to all of the different layered notes in a scent. My reviews are more about how they'll make you feel when wearing them, the best occasions and seasons to wear them for, how versatile they are, etc. Keep scrolling if you're intrigued and be sure to head all the way to the bottom for what I think is the best Le Labo fragrance.

I may be biased because this is actually a scent I've been wearing for a few years now, but I will say it's not for everyone. It's the brainchild of Le Labo and AnOther Mag but unlike the brand's city exclusive scents, this one was adopted into its permanent line, making it widely available throughout the year. My mom sniffed it once and told me she thought it smelled bad although maybe that's on purpose as others have classified the fragrance's simplistic scent profile as "industrial". It's one of those unisex fragrances that will surely earn you compliments if you can pull it off. Fragrance Family: Floral. Key Notes: Rose, cumin, vetiver, cedar, oud, musk, guaiac wood, olibanum, labdanum. deep, earthy rose I was surprised to like so much. A departure from the overly sweet and girly perfumes of my teenage years. This is the type of fragrance you want to keep sniffing every five seconds, it's just that good.Fragrance Family: Woody. Key Notes: Bergamot, fig, bay leaf, cedar, vetiver, hay, tobacco. I first caught a whiff of this scent on my friend Sam who is one of those people who is cool without trying and I think it describes the scent perfectly. It has this deep intensity to it that's a bit intoxicating in the same way that Santal 33 is. It's distinctive and sophisticated, so I would say this reads like a really alluring scent to wear on a date or out to dinner as it strikes me as being perfect for going out at night.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
