Le Labo 2015 EDP
Thé Noir 29
by Frank Voelkl
Le Labo Thé Noir 29 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Frank Voelkl. Thé Noir 29 opens with Bergamot, Bay Leaf, and Fig, settles into a heart of Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Tobacco and Hay. Le Labo's Thé Noir 29 carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.
A chic, introspective scent that weaves dried fig, black tea, and tobacco into a quietly powerful aura. Thé Noir 29 is both refined and enigmatic-signature-worthy for those who crave complexity over crowd-pleasing sweetness.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Thé Noir 29 is anchored by woody, earthy, and dried fruit notes, making it exceptional in fall and spring when mild weather brings out both its freshness and depth. It is less suited to hot summer days due to its complexity and density, but works well on cooler evenings or mild winters.
Best Occasions
This scent's rich, distinctive character and moderate boldness make it perfect for dates, creative or formal settings, and evening events, while its sophistication lets it work for the office if applied lightly. It is too moody and complex for sporty activities.
