Le Labo Presents: The Ultimate Beauty List for a Fresh and Clean Fall

Le Labo has a way of turning the everyday into ritual. Whether it’s a fragrance that lingers like a second skin, a hand lotion that softens with understated luxury, or a candle that quietly transforms a room. Each creation carries the brand’s signature balance of craft and character. Minimalist in design yet deeply sensory in experience: Le Labo products embody a kind of modern elegance that feels both personal and timeless.

At Modern Culture of Tomorrow, we have compiled a list of our favourites…

ANOTHER 13 Eau de Parfum

Born from a creative collaboration with AnOther Magazine in 2010, sparked by Colette’s Sarah Andelman and realised with editor Jefferson Hack, Another 13 remains one of Le Labo’s most hypnotic and unisex classics.  At its heart, ambroxan, a synthetic animalic musk, forms the hypnotising core: an “addictive dirty potion,” as the brand puts it, layered with accents of jasmine and moss that give it lift and subtle shine. The fragrance unfolds with surprising clarity: notes of pear, apple, and citrus spark the opening; jasmine, moss, ambrette seed, amyl salicylate and a trailing base of Iso E Super, cetalox, ambrettolide, and woody resins that leave an echo that lingers intimately. 

THÉ MATCHA 26 Handcreme

Infused with nurturing meadowfoam seed oil, this luxuriously rich hand cream locks in moisture while enveloping the skin in the soft scent of Thé Matcha 26. The matcha accord  is infused with creamy fig, grounded with vetiver and cedar, and brightened by bitter orange. It lingers gently, a nourishing and silky touch that extends the fragrance beyond the bottle into the everyday. 

FACE LOTION

Few things feel better than a lightweight face lotion, and Le Labo has gotten the mix right. Rich shea butter softens the skin, and an apple extract that has a smooth exfoliating effect. Chamomile helps ease any redness, and an aromatic blend of basil and verbena adds the right amount of freshness that brightens the skin for a long day ahead. The result: A nourished and clean feeling all day long.

LIP BALM

Le Labo’s unscented lip balm is a thoughtful blend of plant-based ingredients: shea butter to nourish, olive oil to moisturise, and softening jojoba seed oil. All in a sleek, travel-ready 15 ml tube. Its matte, non-sticky texture embraces lips gently, offering understated hydration free from petroleum, parabens, or artificial colourants. A little goes a long way here due to a fuss-free formula and the lips feel soft all day long.

SANTAL 26 Home Diffuser Oil

Emerging from Le Labo’s iconic fragrance Santal 26, this home diffuser oil turns ambient ritual into art. Housed within a beautifully reclaimed redwood base salvaged from New York’s rooftop water tanks – each piece patinated by time and stamped by hand – the diffuser uses a built-in nebuliser to release the fragrance as an ultra-fine mist, preserving its depth without dilution or heat. Crafted in Brooklyn, the design is both sculptural and subtle, a quiet statement of both luxury and legacy. The scent itself is a warm, smoky whisper of sandalwood, leather, vanilla, cedarwood, and delicate musk; easy to breathe in yet lingering enough to shape the mood of an entire room.

DEODORANT

This lightweight, fast-drying deodorant delivers a clean and fresh feeling without residue, reaffirming Le Labo’s modern minimalism. Crafted with plant-derived glycerin to soothe, alongside antioxidant-rich vitamin E and gentle mineral salts, it respects your skin while calming and balancing. Thoughtfully formulated without aluminium chloride, chlorohydrate, or zirconium, it stays true to daily wear and intentional wellness. Signature notes of bergamot and lavender meet cool violet and warm tonka bean to add a soft, elegant touch of scent that is just enough without being overpowering.
