Company details

  1. Perfume store

Written by the company

Le Labo Fragrances was born in Grasse and raised in New York, the city where they opened their first boutique in 2006. The boutique was named Le Labo ("The Lab" in French), going back to the roots of perfumery and allowing clients to witness their fragrance being freshly hand-blended. Today, that same simple intention remains... clients are invited to forge an intimate connection with fragrance itself, to experience the craft of slow perfumery, and to simply slow down and awaken their senses.

You will not get the expected scent

After having couple of small Another 13 testers I fell in love with the scent and invested in full size bottle. To my disappointment the perfume received was awful and smelled nothing like Another 13. Myself and others noticed nothing but sharp smell of cheap mens deodorant or room freshener - no intricate fragrance tones characteristic to Another 13, or even any tones whatsoever. First, it was suggested that perfume needs time to mature as it was freshly mixed. Its been 2 months since I purchased it, and no notes have developed. The perfume was picked up for investigation where it was deemed to be a "high performing" perfume and nothing wrong was found. I received a replacement which still smells awfully same. It must be a bad batch Le Labo does not want to admit. The perfume is so bad, it doesn't take chemist to figure out something went wrong during mixing process.

Rotten service from Paris on line store. Package sent to wrong address in another part of France per the post office tracking. 4 emails sent to customer service and none replied to after 2 weeks. Do they have anyone reading customer emails ?

During Black Friday period all of a sudden their Noir refill perfume ran out in Selfridges and Liberty’s. I find this at least disappointing.. I now have switched to Maison Crivelli.. all the best Le Labo.

I purchased the 500$ diffuser one year ago.
It stopped working, so I politely wrote the company asking to repair knowing that the warranty had expired.
That did not work so I took it apart and found the small air compressor was damaged due to glue in the fan. (Manufacturer problem)
Again, I write asking if the company would sell me the part. They responded with “we do not make parts available to clients”
Did some investigation and found the exact part from a robotics store at a cost of $4.00.
Yes 4.00 bucks. !!!! I repaired the unit in 5 minutes.
This product is a total rip off !!!
What’s worse is the customer service so rude and dismissive.
Spend your money elsewher !!!

Smells great for half an hour!

A perfume of quality should last. Much as I love the scent: it becomes undetectable after half an hour. My previous favourite high end perfume at a comparable price lingers for weeks.
Shame on the manufacturers!

GRACIAS MARTA ! EXCELENTE PROFESIONAL!!!

would like to highlight the service and professionalism of Marta, employee of Le Labo (COURTE INGLÉS DE CASTELLANA / Madrid / Spain)). With her knowledge and empathy she made my wife and I opt for her products. Thank you so much Marta!!! We will buy again at Le Labo. Fran Roylo.

GIFT CARD !! Impossible !

I am trying to use a 250 euro gift card and it seems impossible ! You cannot use in store and the stores in stores do not accept the vouchers and deliver from online orders . I have changed the order to go to a London address rather than Portugal to pick up from friends next time I am in London . But then I get almost to the end and attempt to offset the voucher value only to be told that the code is not valid ! Its frustrating in the extreme and impossible to get any support !

Customer Service unresponsive

It’s been nearly 3 weeks since a bought one of their bottle in Heathrow Airport, after contacting their customer service team 3 times, I had no answer, no options for my problem. Definitely they try to build a high quality brand but this is far from reality. Shame

They simply don't ship nor answer

They produced a tracking number and never sent the package it's been a week. They refuse to answer any of the emails i sent them. I'm now forced to contact my bank to start a credit card dispute.

Winners and losers

My son recently stayed in a hotel that had le labo products and was very impressed by the scents.
He liked them so so much he ordered a lot of products in the store nearby.
I went online to the Le Labo website to order some body lotion and some perfume samples.
The website is very user unfriendly and from what I've read here, they need to have a more excellent customer service.
In the end, I ordered from Brown Thomas in Dublin, and paid twice the online Le labo price.
So that's a win for Brown Thomas and a loss for Le Labo I guess lol.
Let's see if I love the products or not :)
If I do, I might do an updated review ;)

Most samples don't spray. Overpriced.

The fragrances are often excellent, but largely overpriced.

If you buy smaples, do not expect the spray bottles to work. You will mostly be stuck with £50 worth of perfume that you can't get out of the bottle because ALL 5 spray bottles do not spray.

Plus Le Labo randomly up their prices to an extortionate degree. Those samples that were £4 a couple of weeks ago? They're £10 now.

I think it's time people look elsewhere for the hundreds of other quality perfumiers who are fairly priced.

I made two orders from this website

I made two orders from this website, for 4 different samples each time. The second order had 4 sample vials but one was a scent I didn't order so I emailed the concierge listed on the website. I was told a sample of the scent that was missing would be sent and they confirmed my address. Several weeks have gone by and nothing from le labo and no answer to my emails. Perhaps a blessing in disguise...I was going to order a larger size of the neroli and the jasmine as soon as I received the missing scent for a further comparison but in the lag time I realized that while nice, they aren't worth the price.
The scents don't last as a good perfume should. Shame...

Another 13 ❤🖤

My best friend ordered, as a surprise, for my birthday a personalised perfume Another 13 #LeLabo.
There was an issue with the delivery, from what I understood, but the customer service has been extremely efficient and responsive and so I have received my perfume which is above and beyond expectations.

It combines jasmine & moss which leads to a fabulous fine & subtle fragrance that actually lasts all day.

What a great birthday surprise ☺

Bottom line - this is going to be my new potion ❤🖤
