A Scent from Kyoto: Le Labo Introduces OSMANTHUS 19

Each year, Le Labo’s City Exclusive collection makes its highly anticipated return. These fragrances are typically available only in the cities they were created for — Paris, Tokyo, Dubai, New York — and nowhere else. That is, until September, when these rare creations make their annual global appearance.

The newest addition to the lineup is OSMANTHUS 19, a soft yet vivid tribute to Kyoto. Rooted in the brand’s deep connection with Japan and its wabi-sabi philosophy, this fragrance honours the fleeting beauty of the Osmanthus flower. With notes of incense, lavender, and creamy florals grounded by woody resins, it’s a scent that quietly commands presence, much like Kyoto itself.

From now till Tue 30 Sep, begin your City Exclusives journey with discovery sizes — 1.5ml glass vials of all 18 scents including favourites like Coriandre 39 (Mexico City), Myrrhe 55 (Shanghai) and Citron 28 (Seoul). For those unsure where to begin, the Discovery Set offers a curated edit of five favourites. Full-sized eau de parfums will be available from Mon 1 Sep to Tue 30 Sep, in four bottle sizes.
