Le Labo Osmanthus 19 Eau De Parfum

A Poetic Expression of Kyoto

Le Labo Osmanthus 19 Eau de Parfum is a sophisticated fragrance inspired by Kyoto, one of the world’s most culturally distinctive cities. Created around the delicate beauty of the osmanthus flower, it combines incense and aromatic lavender with a creamy floral heart before settling into warm woody and resinous tones.

From Aromatic Incense to Creamy Osmanthus

Osmanthus 19 opens with incense and aromatic lavender, creating a fresh, slightly smoky and aromatic first impression. The combination gives the fragrance an elegant sense of calm while adding a subtle depth from the very beginning.

As it develops, osmanthus takes centre stage. Le Labo describes the flower as creamy and uplifting, giving the composition a soft floral character without turning it into a conventional sweet floral perfume.

Behind the osmanthus, woody and resinous tonalities gradually become more apparent. These deeper facets provide warmth and structure, creating a beautifully balanced contrast between the airy floral character and the richer woody foundation.

The overall effect is nuanced and intimate rather than loud. Osmanthus 19 captures a sense of Kyoto through a restrained combination of floral softness, aromatic freshness, incense and warm woods.
