Le Labo Rose 31 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Frank Voelkl and Daphné Bugey. Rose 31 opens with Rose and Cumin, settles into a heart of Cedar and Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Musk and Guaiac Wood. Le Labo's Rose 31 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A moody, modernist rose veiled in cumin, woods, and musky resins, Rose 31 is an unorthodox floral that oozes confidence and urban sensuality. Not for the faint of heart, it's a cult favorite that captivates as much as it polarizes.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Warm spices and dry woods make Rose 31 ideal for crisp fall days and cool spring evenings, while its subtle floral and musky facets allow it to work in winter and, for some, in summer heat if applied lightly. The cumin and woods can feel overwhelming in high humidity.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its intimate projection and unique spicy-woody floral profile work beautifully for dates and casual wear, lending confidence and intrigue. It's a bit too raw and sensual for formal events or athletic settings, and the cumin can be polarizing in close office quarters.

About

Rose 31 opens with the unexpected heat of cumin and a prickle of pepper, quickly revealing a dusty, earthy Centifolia rose that feels both lived-in and hauntingly fresh. The heart is a tangle of vetiver and cedar, lending a dry, pencil-shavings woodiness that envelops the fleeting rose in a haze of spicy warmth. As it dries down, smoky olibanum, guaiac wood, and musky labdanum linger close to the skin, their resinous, incense-like richness softened by a subtle animalic musk. The result is a thoroughly androgynous, urban rose-never sweet or jammy, but instead raw, sensual, and quietly rebellious.
