Beautiful things in life are worth the wait. For example, the return of Le Labo's annual City Exclusives event that’s happening now. These perfumes are usually exclusive to the very city that inspired them. But once a year, for a limited time, they leave their hometowns and make a special appearance in Le Labo boutiques around the world.
This year, there are a total of 17 scents to explore. This includes an aromatic addition for Mexico City, Coriandre 39. A tranquil yet vibrant blend, it opens with a zing of spicy lime and aldehydic cilantro leaves. Crisp aquatic notes also peek through, leading to fresh green florals and an intoxicating musky dry down.
Can’t wait to start your City Exclusives journey? From now until 30 September, you can explore all 17 scents in 1.5 ML Discovery Sizes (SGD18). Not sure where to start? Then consider the Discovery Set (SGD90), a curation of five favourites. It comprises Cedrat 37 (Berlin), Gaiac 10 (Tokyo), Tabac 28 (Miami), Vanille 44 (Paris) and of course, the new Coriandre 39.
If you discover something you adore and would like to purchase a larger bottle, here’s good news. You can shop the full-size eau de parfums from 1 September to 30 September. They will be available in four sizes, namely 15 ML (SGD235), 50 ML (SGD540), 100 ML (SGD760) and the jumbo 500 ML (SGD2575).
And if you find yourself with an empty 50 ML, 100 ML or 500 ML empty City Exclusives bottle later in the year, fret not. You can get refills all year round at Le Labo labs in Singapore at L1-36 The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands and B1-31 Takashimaya Shopping Centre.
