I love fragrances, you all know that, I'm always going on about the newest Oud that has taken my fancy. I have many MANY amazing bottles that I alternate between. But nothing has really ever come close to Le Labo, in particular my favourite, Santal 33.Whenever I wear Santal I get asked, more so than with any other fragrance, what it is. People try and guess, but they never get it right. I love its ambiguity. The 33 stands for 33 ingredients (this is true with all of their fragrances), so you can imagine how amazing it smells.I went to see Le Labo a few months ago and found out that for every city they are stocked in, there is a specially designed fragrance for that city. What's more, those scents can not be bought from any other country but the one they are made for. Not online. Nothing. So when I saw on
Liberty London's Instagram account the other day that for a limited period (ends 6th October) they are stocking nine of the cities, I was straight there to smell all of them.My God they are good!
