Osmanthus 19 is a Kyoto exclusive. The Le Labo City Exclusives are available in all the Le Labo boutiques every year in August & September.
‘In early winter, when all plants are dormant, gardeners wait for the golden osmanthus to bloom. The first impression is notes of incense and lavender. Then the main flower appears… creamy and uplifting, followed by woody and resinous tones. The composition is Kyoto-like, a quaint scent for a city where traditional townhouses sometimes blend with concrete and neon, and where arcades are just a stone’s throw away from the gardens of the Emperors of long ago. A haiku for the eternal city. A scent exclusive to Kyoto.’ – Le Labo (Translated)
