Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vetiver 46

Divisive yet magnetic, Vetiver 46 is Le Labo's smoky, spicy, and often misunderstood take on vetiver. It is not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it. Expect a powerful, old-school masculine vibe that either compels or repels.

Our Verdict - Frankincense Black Pepper

It’s a bold gamble to promise a frankincense and pepper scent that's also 'mineral', but this one might hit the jackpot for those craving something truly different and a tad mysterious. Let's see if the hype delivers.
