Founded in 2006 by Eddie Roschi and Fabrice Penot, Le Labo is a high-end artisanal fragrance brand that revolutionized the industry with its 'made-to-order' concept. Originally starting with a single boutique in Nolita, New York City, the brand became famous for its minimalist aesthetic, personalized labels, and cult-favorite scents like Santal 33. The name, which means 'the lab' in French, reflects the brand's philosophy of showing the craftsmanship behind the fragrances.

While the brand has French roots through its founders and inspiration, it was established as a New York-based entity. In 2014, the brand was acquired by a global beauty conglomerate, which has since expanded its presence worldwide while maintaining its niche appeal. Today, most Le Labo products are formulated and hand-blended in laboratories across the United States and France, continuing to emphasize small-batch production and fresh compounding for their high-end client base.
