le labo is not a niche rec whatsoever, but thé noir is undeniably the scent that gets me the most compliments. a girl once purposefully missed her subway stop after passing me while trying to get off the train bc she wanted the name. people tell me they know when i’ve been somewhere because it smells too damn good. uber drivers ask what it is so they can buy it for their wives. when i want peace in life, i go fragrance free.
