Le Labo Lavande 31 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Daphné Bugey. Lavande 31 opens with Bergamot and Neroli, settles into a heart of Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Tonka Bean. Le Labo's Lavande 31 carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Le Labo's Lavande 31 is polarising; some find it a luxurious, modern interpretation of lavender, while others dismiss it as overpriced laundry detergent. It's a clean, musky scent that challenges traditional expectations of lavender, creating a love-it-or-hate-it dilemma for many.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Lavande 31 opens with a bright, zesty burst of neroli and bergamot, quickly softening into a creamy, almost silky lavender. This isn't the harsh, herbal lavender you might expect, but a smoothed-out, clean interpretation. The dry down introduces a comforting blanket of musk and amber, with a hint of warm tonka bean, settling into a sophisticated, fresh laundry-esque aroma.
