Le Labo Labdanum 18

Mostly soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on cinnamon, moves through french labdanum, vanilla and tonka bean, and settles on civetta, musk and castoreum.

• cinnamon: hot sweet baking spice
• vanilla: sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod, custard or the smell of a kitchen mid-bake

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
