Le Labo Poivre 23, Musc 25 & Gaiac 10 ~ fragrance reviews

Posted by Robin on 12 December 2008 6 Comments

Le Labo Poivre 23 fragrance

Le Labo’s “city-exclusive” series, whereby they make a special perfume for each city in which they have a boutique or fragrance counter, and if you live elsewhere, forget about it*, either annoys you or it doesn’t. I find it mildly annoying. The perfumes aren’t impossible to get — there are ways around everything except death and taxes, right? — so to my mind the biggest annoyance is that they cost considerably more than the “regular” Le Labo fragrances.

Kenzo Vintage Edition, perfume ad

Kenzo’s latest is Vintage Edition, or more properly, ☮ by Kenzo Vintage Edition (that’s a peace symbol, for those of you who don’t have a browser capable of rendering one). It’s a unisex fragrance, launched in honor of Kenzo’s 20th anniversary as a perfume house:

The 1970’s witnessed the arrival of Kenzo Takada on the Parisian fashion scene. To celebrate this era of exploration, life, and daring creativity, Kenzo reinvents the scent of the seventies with a limited edition unisex fragrance that captures the essence of freedom. (via kenzousa)

The essence of freedom — who doesn’t need some of that? Vintage Edition was developed by perfumer Annick Menardo (who was also responsible for the 1999 limited edition Kenzo Time for Peace for Him), and features notes of musk, heliotrope, cedar, tonka bean, vanilla and mandarin…
