Le Labo Baie Rose 26 Chicago is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Frank Voelkl. Baie Rose 26 Chicago opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, Clove, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Le Labo's Baie Rose 26 Chicago carries a Statement verdict, a rose-led wear.

This isn't a shy, delicate rose; it's a bold, peppery statement. It's divisive - some find it an outrageously overpriced scrubber, others a sophisticated, addictive take on a classic. Sample first, because Baie Rose 26 is far from a crowd-pleaser.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate sillage and longevity, coupled with a distinctly peppery-rose profile, make it a bit too assertive for daily office wear but well-suited for dates or casual outings. It can definitely work for formal events, but its unique character might distract in more conservative settings.

About

Baie Rose 26 delivers a fresh, sparkling rose, often met with an initial punch of aldehydes and a strong peppery kick from pink pepper and clove. As it dries, a musky warmth emerges, softened by cedar, giving it an earthy, almost mineral quality. It oscillates between a crisp, dewy rose and a spicier, woody finish, maintaining an interesting tension throughout.
