No need to book that flight. Le Labo’s coveted City Exclusives are available worldwide for September

You now don’t have to book that flight to nab that City Exclusive you’ve been eyeing.
Fragrance lovers, it’s that time of the year again. For a limited time only, Le Labo is making its City Exclusive fragrances available to purchase worldwide. It happens every year, and as your fragrance bestie, it’s basically our duty to remind you.
If you’re not familiar with the collection, Le Labo’s City Exclusives were created as a tribute to cities the fragrance house loves around the world. Each scent belongs to a particular city and, for most of the year, can only be found at the Le Labo lab in its respective hometown.
Which means no online orders, no shipping and, unfortunately, no exceptions. Some beautiful things are just hard to get. But once a year, and once a year only, the City Exclusives leave their hometowns for the entire month of September and travel around the world to find new people to love them.
And this year, there’s a new fragrance joining the family.

Meet SHIU 25, Le Labo’s New Beijing City Exclusive

The latest addition to the City Exclusive collection is SHIU 25, created as an homage to Beijing, China, and the city’s traditional spaces dedicated to quietude and inner reflection.
“SHIU 25 emerged from our time in Beijing, and is an expression of what the city holds for us in its traditional spaces built for quietude and inner return,” says Deborah Royer, Global Brand President &amp; Creative Director of Le Labo Fragrances.
Inspired by these contemplative spaces, the fragrance is all about finding a little moment of calm in a world that rarely gives us one. It also draws from Le Labo’s historic He Yuan Lab, bringing that sense of pause and introspection into the fragrance itself.&nbsp;

Le Labo keeps the composition deliberately compact, allowing airy iris and olibanum to hover above warm, grounding woods. The result is exactly the sort of scent you might expect from its inspiration: woody and softly powdery, yet surprisingly light. There’s an airy quality running through it, balanced by a gentle warmth and an incense-like smokiness that gives the fragrance a little more depth.
It feels calm without being sleepy, understated without disappearing and enveloping without becoming too heavy.

For the month of September, you can experience SHIU 25 and all the other City Exclusives without having to book a flight overseas. So, if there’s one you’ve been wanting to try, this is your sign to get your nose on it before the month is over.
And if you’re anything like us and can’t decide on just one bottle, there’s always the City Exclusive samples and discovery sets. It’s basically like having the scents of the world in your pocket.
