Hand-Crafted Fragrance Boutiques

Le Labo Sells Unique Unisex Scents That are Crafted in Canada

— June 25, 2018 — Fashion
Created in New York by two former Armani perfumiers Fabrice Peno and Edouard Roschi, Le Labo offers all consumers hand-crafted fragrances that are luxurious yet affordable.

As the first storefront in Toronto, the shop is located in Trinity Bellwoods and carries 15 different perfumes that are all blended specifically for each consumer and printed with a hand-picked and uniquely personalized label. All of the walls inside the store are beautifully lined with the brand's very own aromatic products such as bath oils, candles and high-end fancy laundry detergent. Shoppers are given the opportunity to bring in an empty bottle of a signature scent and it will be refilled with a 20% discount.

Le Labo is a cruelty-free, ethical brand that emphasizes on selling scents that evoke an emotion, feeling, memory or moment -- open now in Toronto, Ontario.
