You are waaaay too kind! Thank you so much for your kind comments. Glad you enjoy my content. Hopefully the channel will grow larger in the next year 🤞 thank you for all the support!
I guess they didn’t have Cedrat 37 yet. That is my number one of the city exclusives. Followed by the Baie Rose, Gaiac, then Vanille 44 (Vanilla got last because it reminded me too much of my Celine Dans Paris). Great review!
Great choices! To be honest I really like all of them but for me I just find Amsterdam and Seoul to blow me away for different reasons. Thank you again for supporting the channel. Means a lot!
Just ordered a sample Baie Rose 26 after hearing your review! I tend to get on with Rose scents, so excited to see how I get on with it. Also, appreciated the way you announced number 7 like a proper Brit haha.
Amazing, you will have to let me know what it is like on your skin! Haha I am so bad at pronouncing the names. I just have to go for it and hope for the best. 😂
I went in hell bent on purchasing Gaiac because I love Tokyo but was so disappointed by it's lasting power. It disappears almost immediately. Such a skin scent. My favourite ended up being Mousse De Chene as well. And it was also the shop attendat's favourite. It's a very safe scent.
Personally I find Citron far more interesting than Gaiac. That being said, Gaiac does come alive on your skin giving you a sweet cedar wood fragrance with menthol top notes. Very good for hot weather if you want a more minimalist vibe.
Fantastic video - you describe the scents in such an eloquent and accurate manner! I am planning to get the mousse and tabac. With your suggestions, I will absolutely try a sample of poivre and benjoin.
I just bought 2 50 ml bottles (1: Mousse de Chene 30, 1: Cedrat 37) and 2 100 ml bottle (Gaiac 10 + Citron 28)this year! $1870 worth of fragrances over 3 days. And that's pretax too since i live in NYC.. Im broke af now fr fr
Sophisticated Obsession so I bought Tabac in the end and I really love it! Normally I mix Santal with Monocule which is also incredible.. 🤩 Enjoy Amsterdam while you’re here 😉
Glad you managed to try them all. I really like how different they all are. Thank you bud. Really glad you enjoyed the video and found it somewhat useful.
Wearing limette 37 today and it lasts forever on my shirt. I hated it at first but blind bought a full bottle and decided I needed to wear it, instead of it collecting dust.I have to say I actually love it.
I also love Mousse de Chene. It’s also so versatile and good for work settings. I’m gonna try layering it with Citron and see what happens. Benjoin actually doesn’t do much for me - not sure if it just doesn’t perform well on my skin or what. Would be great for layering though. Tabac 28 is one of my absolute favorites (#1 for me is Thai Tabac from Ensar Oud) and I actually love wearing it on summer nights as long as it’s not humid out.
Absolutely, it is sooo versatile! Ooo you will have to let me know how you get on. I have not tried layering any of these fragrances before. I love Tabac, so interesting and unusual. you are 100% correct, I think the key is humidity that makes me wary of wearing this fragrance in the heat.
Musc 25 and Baie Rose are my absolute favs LOL Mousse de chene went back - I didn’t expect such a chemical/synthetic creation from them. Thank you for sharing your opinions.
That is so interesting. Musk... oops. Sorry about that one. Mousse De Chene I would say is the most designer like fragrance out of the collection in my opinion which might be where you are getting the synthetic smell from. Thank you so much for your comment though!
I went in today to purchase POIVRE 23 as I'm moving away from London and changed my mind for MOUSSE DE CHENE 30! MOUSSE DE CHENE 30 stay wayyyy longer on my skin, POIVRE 23 unfortunalty doesn't. For the classic fragrances I wear Santal 33 layered with the noir 29, a dream! Or another 13. Loving everything about the Labo apart from the prices lol. I wish I could find a dupe for MOUSSE DE CHENE 30! Also maybe a video idea, I saw that they had fake Le Labo Fragrances on Wish ( a lot of santal 33), you should do a review to see how it's different from the real one lol!
That’s so interesting. I can totally see why you went for Mousse De Chene though. Such a fantastic fragrance and it is a lovely unisex one as well. That’s interesting. I will have to go on and have a look. Thank you for letting me know!
Dolce & gabbana k eau de parfum ore edt. Thank me later. Had mousse de chene and d&g k side by side and they smel 85% similar. And the edp version is extremely long lasting and it smels amazingly close to le labo mousse de chene 30.
Love this! Would love to see a Le Labo comparisons that compares the best for day or night wear. Or maybe office/date. I really like Le Labo but would be cool to see some alternative options from other houses for each of the Le Labos
Are they going to have these same city exclusives next September? I really want to get citron 28 and cuir 28 but didn’t learn about the city exclusives until today 😂 do the same ones usually come back each year?
Yeah they usually do. You may on the off chance get one that disappears because they shut down that particular store but on the whole they all come back. Citron is not going anywhere as this is their latest city exclusive release so you are safe with that one.
I just ordered Vanille Paris.. I’ve never smelled any of them but based off what I love to smell in the winter.. I’m hopeful I’ll like it. I’m dying to try the London one.
I hope you like it. I’m sure you will really enjoy that one in the winter. It is such a comforting smell. The London exclusive is breathtaking! Pepper done in a really artistic way!
Oh I am so glad I got to make it for you. Hope you enjoyed the video. If there are other le labo lists you will have to let me know. I'm about to shoot 'most masculine city exclusive' which will hopefully go out on Thursday.
Recently tried Gaiac 10 & Aldehyde 44. I preferred A 44 but ultimately both were disappointing. Gaiac 10 smells nothing like molecule 01 or 02. More like a light Diptyque Tam Dao. Molecule 01 & 02 are in a different League
I think I would have loved Gaiac to just project more and give me more of those menthol notes rather than just the cedar scent. I have not tried that Diptyque, I will gave to give that one a go. Thank you once again for your amazing support!!
@@SophisticatedObsession I don’t mind the not lasting scent however spraying parfum on freshly showered skin tends to absorb the fragrance better imo. Also I feel, to me, spraying parfum in between showers is meh. Gaiac is my fave tbh and I love. You might like Sens by Dyptique. Def less expensive than Le Labo.
Guuuurl, you said it! THE HEAT!!! I. HATED. EVE. RY. SECOND. OF. IT!!!! And you're in Liverpeeewl! Try being in London for that heatwave! I swear I felt I was in the depths of Thailand or the rainforest or some shizz! The video though, I loved every nanosecond of it. Quality as per yooje. (4 what it's wurf, my favourites are Musc 25 (haha!), Vanille 44, and Another 13!)
The heat is sapping allllll my energy at the moment 😂 Off yeah I do not envy you living in London one bit whilst it is this hot. Yeah loads of people love musc 🙈 I just can't get on with it.
I absolutely loved the rawness and pureness of Tabac. But where would I ever wear it to? It's so strong and I although I love the scent I don't want to smell like booze and cigars 😂 if only I were a rock star!
Shit...wait...I put my fave Le Labos, forgetting this was about City Exclusives. Damn. Well, Vanille and Musc still top the list pour moi, with maybe Gaiac or Cuir vying for 3rd? I dunno. Off to down a cuppa and scoff a crumpet with some passionfruit curd slathered on it. Toodles.

I went to their store last week and tried Tokyo/Miami/Seoul/London/Amsterdam. They were all awesome! Great reviews.
Tom Liu oh amazing!!!! Which one did you like the most? Glad you are finding my reviews helpful bud.
Sophisticated Obsession my top three are from Amsterdam, Miami and Seoul. Glad two of them are your top three too!
Great choices! To be honest I really like all of them but for me I just find Amsterdam and Seoul to blow me away for different reasons. Thank you again for supporting the channel. Means a lot!
I do love Mousse de Chene too. Oakmoss lover here! Thinking about getting Citron 28.
Both are very fine choices my friend but are totally different fragrance profiles. Literally nothing alike 😂
Just ordered a sample Baie Rose 26 after hearing your review! I tend to get on with Rose scents, so excited to see how I get on with it. Also, appreciated the way you announced number 7 like a proper Brit haha.

Yeah I had the exact same experience as you. Just not what I expected. Mousse De Chene however. Just unbelievable!
I'm very torn between buying Gaiac 10 vs Citron 28. I'm going to go and smell Escentric Molecules, Molecules 01. Thanks for the reference point!
Personally I find Citron far more interesting than Gaiac. That being said, Gaiac does come alive on your skin giving you a sweet cedar wood fragrance with menthol top notes. Very good for hot weather if you want a more minimalist vibe.

I have Mousse de chene as I'm from Amstergram :) As we speak deciding which other one I want to buy on the last day of September.. 😬
Amstergram 😂🙈
You are so lucky, I am waiting to go back to Amsterdam so I can pick this one up. Plus I absolutely love the city.
Sophisticated Obsession so I bought Tabac in the end and I really love it! Normally I mix Santal with Monocule which is also incredible.. 🤩 Enjoy Amsterdam while you’re here 😉
I had the privilege of smelling every city today in Saks boutique, I liked Dallas the most. Paris & Miami next.. great video !! 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you managed to try them all. I really like how different they all are. Thank you bud. Really glad you enjoyed the video and found it somewhat useful.
Bought cedrat .still deciding whether I love it.
Wearing limette 37 today and it lasts forever on my shirt. I hated it at first but blind bought a full bottle and decided I needed to wear it, instead of it collecting dust.I have to say I actually love it.
I sell these by the 17oz bottle or 2oz decant and many other niche fragrances

Benjoin actually doesn’t do much for me - not sure if it just doesn’t perform well on my skin or what. Would be great for layering though.

Sophisticated Obsession I layered citron over mousse de chene and it was quite nice! Nothin crazy but still a nice little change.
Musc 25 and Baie Rose are my absolute favs LOL

May I ask how you sent it back? I've never had a designer house accept perfume returns.
@@SophisticatedObsession It's my favourite too! Thanks for the great review.
Nordstrom.

@@rens3207 You are saving my wallet! I was about to purchase Mousse de chene 30 tomorrow! thank you very much!
My top 4 and bottom 3 are the same as yours! Can't wait to buy some bottles next month!
That is amazing. Obviously a man with great taste 😂
My top 5 city exclusives are BAIE ROSE 26, CITRO 28, CUIR 28, Mousse de Chene 30, TABAC 28.
Some fantastic picks there my friend!
Love this! Would love to see a Le Labo comparisons that compares the best for day or night wear. Or maybe office/date.
I really like Le Labo but would be cool to see some alternative options from other houses for each of the Le Labos
Cuir 28 really reminds me of Istanbul bazzar, so exotic and smoky.
I would absolutely love to go there at some point after all this madness is over.
Moscow scent is pure frankincense. Like an orthodox church smell. Not sure if it’s masculine. I loved it.
I think you should review the very newest city exclusive - Myrrhe 55 (Shanghai)
Are they going to have these same city exclusives next September? I really want to get citron 28 and cuir 28 but didn’t learn about the city exclusives until today 😂 do the same ones usually come back each year?

Do one for Sydney in Australia

Thinking about buying a city exclusive, thanks for the vid :))
Not a problem at all. You will have to let me know which one you finally pulled the trigger on!
really enjoy your review, give me an idea for tomorrow's shopping trip : )
How can you do Musc like that! That’s one of my favorites
Yes!! I've been waiting for you to make this video. I'm debating on what to purchase this September.
Oh I am so glad I got to make it for you. Hope you enjoyed the video. If there are other le labo lists you will have to let me know. I'm about to shoot 'most masculine city exclusive' which will hopefully go out on Thursday.
About to buy my first city exclusive next week, can’t decide between tabac 28, cuir 28 and poivre 23. Such a hard choice :/
I wish Seattle had one 😓
Tabac 28 is the craziest scent I’ve ever smelled. I drink Scotch from Islay and it smells exactly like a glass of Laphroig or Lagavulin
I know right. I did a full review of tabac and described it as all your ‘legal’ addictions in one go! 😂😂
Recently tried Gaiac 10 & Aldehyde 44. I preferred A 44 but ultimately both were disappointing. Gaiac 10 smells nothing like molecule 01 or 02. More like a light Diptyque Tam Dao. Molecule 01 & 02 are in a different League

"Bigga-rod" bitter orange
Thank you!!!! 😂😬🙌
awesome list!!! Bigarade is pronounced BEE-GAH-RAHD btw :)
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the list and thank you for the translation. I'm shocking with pronunciation haha
Guuuurl, you said it! THE HEAT!!! I. HATED. EVE. RY. SECOND. OF. IT!!!! And you're in Liverpeeewl! Try being in London for that heatwave!

Gaiac 10 #(1)
Musc 25 #(2)
My favorite 2
Where is Cedrat on the ranking??? 😮
It didn’t exist back then
@@SophisticatedObsession where in the ranking would you place it?
My no.1 is and will always be Gaiac 10. It is for our Asians who live a Wabi Sabi life style. You may not understand this.
Yes I have heard this a lot. I totally get where you are coming from, unfortunately it is just not to my taste.
I absolutely loved the rawness and pureness of Tabac. But where would I ever wear it to? It's so strong and I although I love the scent I don't want to smell like booze and cigars 😂 if only I were a rock star!
Tabac is on my list to do a full review of so make sure you stay tuned for that. Haha yeah it is a bit of a rockstar sort of fragrance I will admit.
@@SophisticatedObsession can't wait for the video!
Excellent video! I would have not even considered Mousse de Chene. If only I had unlimited income ... 😭
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. Haha same! Hence why I only have samples with me. But yeah, that fragrance just does it for me.
Fwiw Cuir means leather and is said kinda like queer, so it makes sense it would smell like leather.
Shit...wait...I put my fave Le Labos, forgetting this was about City Exclusives. Damn. Well, Vanille and Musc still top the list pour moi, with maybe Gaiac or Cuir vying for 3rd? I dunno. Off to down a cuppa and scoff a crumpet with some passionfruit curd slathered on it. Toodles.
Some solid picks there my friend. I think it is just my rubbish taste in fragrances 😂 OOOO stop, you are making me hungry.
