Le Labo: 5 Things To Know About 2024’s City Exclusives Event

For those eagerly anticipating the annual return of Le Labo’s City Exclusives event, great news: it’s back and happening from 1st to 30th September!

Whether you’re a newcomer or just curious about what’s new at Le Labo, here are five things you need to know about the event.

The City Exclusives collection serves as a tribute to some of the most iconic cities in the world. Each fragrance embodies the essence and energy of its respective city. Most of the time, the City Exclusives are quite literally exclusive to each city and can only be shopped at its local Le Labo store.

However, once a year, these exclusive scents make a limited appearance in every Le Labo boutique worldwide. This event provides a unique opportunity to discover new favorites or restock on beloved fragrances!

Every year, Le Labo introduces a new city scent, expanding its diverse collection. This year, you can find up to 16 City Exclusives scents to explore, including last year’s addition for Shanghai, Myrrhe 55. The fragrance features myrrh, a resin once deemed more valuable than gold. Its dark yet electric heart note evokes incense with a licorice twist, complemented by jasmine and patchouli, and anchored on a base of oud, ambergris, and musk. We’re wondering which city will be chosen this year!

You can purchase the City Exclusives collection online or at their physical locations in Singapore, such as Marina Bay Sands and Takashimaya Shopping Centre. If you are hesitating between fragrances, you can always ask their trained lab technicians, or ‘souls’ as Le Labo calls them, who measure, mix and bottle each fragrance right before your eyes.

Excited to start your City Exclusives journey? From September 1^st to 30^th, you can explore all 16 scents in mini 1.5 ml Discovery Sizes (SGD18 each). If you’re finding it hard to choose, consider the Discovery Set (SGD90), which includes five curated favorites: Cedrat 37 (Berlin), Gaiac 10 (Tokyo), Myrrhe 55 (Shanghai), Tabac 28 (Miami), and Vanille 44 (Paris).
