Inspired by petrichor–the smell after it rains–Le Labo Fragrances has released a new scent called “Baie 19.” Based in New York City, Le Labo was founded in 2006 and later acquired by Estée Lauder Companies in 2014. Since its foundation, Le Labo has become synonymous with hand-crafted, made to order luxury scents for men and women. Le Labo’s naming scheme has two parts: the word refers to the primary scent note, and the number refers to the number of compounds in the scent. For the case of Baie 19, the main scent note is berry (juniper berry) and contains 19 compounds.
As Le Labo states on their website, petrichor is, “one of the most beautiful olfactive phenomena in nature.” To capture this magical scent and the intense feelings that come with the sensation, Le Labo has mixed dry juniper berry, green leaves, patchouli, and musk. The scent creates a musky and woody scent with amber and aromatic notes. Baie 19 retails online for 158 EUR/50 ML.
