Le Labo
Santal 33
Leather · EDP · 2011 · Frank Voelkl
Decant firstWoody · €290 to €370
The sandalwood-leather scent of its era. Recognizable from the first metre. That recognition is the strength, and the risk of smelling like everyone else.
Context
Santal 33 changed what people expected from “niche sandalwood”. Cardamom and violet give a spice spark. Leather gives it a city character.
Batch variation
Le Labo is known for batch drift. A wear from a year ago is a weak guide to the bottle on the shelf today. Decant a current batch.

Before a bottle
Ask for 2 to 10 ml. Wear it three times on your own skin. A blotter will not tell you what hour four smells like.
