The Palo Santo tree carries an energizing freshness, but it can also be overwhelming, especially when dealing with a living specimen. Le Labo has tamed the beast, preserving the soul of the original ingredient in its unchanged state and creating a warm and soothing blend by adding cedarwood and the dark, resinous properties of labdanum, incense, and patchouli.
In their candles, Le Labo uses soy wax and pure cotton wicks. Each candle is hand-poured in Mississippi and heavily perfumed. The candle collection is GMO-free, 100% vegan, and not tested on animals.
Fragrance Notes
About the brand Le Labo
Le Labo is a rebellion in the world of perfumery - partly thanks to breakthrough scent concepts, and partly due to its uncompromising philosophy. The brand's manifesto proclaims that scents must have a soul, luxury lies in the art of craftsmanship, and they do not give their perfumes for free to celebrities. The creators of the brand obsessively respect the sources from which the ingredients of their perfumes come from and are uncompromisingly vegan. "It is scandalous that in the 21st century, the cosmetic industry, which is supposed to be a luxury and pleasure, is based on animal cruelty" - they proclaim.
Fabrice Penot and Edouard Roschi, co-founders, deliberately do not strive for a mythical ideal: "We are inspired by what fascinates us in other areas of life - diverse aesthetic approaches, philosophies, and objects and products. We are strongly influenced by the philosophy of wabi-sabi, which is about finding beauty in constant change and perfection in imperfection."
