Spring Break Plans For Le Labo Fragrances

It's time for Sun, Sea and Santal...

EUCALYPTUS 20 I’m off on a solo hiking trip to the mountains, where every breath will feel like a reset button.

LAVANDE 31 Picture this: a week offline at an Alpine retreat. Yes, I will bring my own chaise-longue.

THÉ MATCHA 26 The beach is great if that’s your thing, but my preferred body of water is a plunge pool at the most luxurious day spa I can find.

SANTAL 33 Two words: Cowboy Camp. Out on the range, under the stars; nothing but the aroma of woodsmoke and the distant howl of coyotes.

ANOTHER 13 I won’t need a suitcase this weekend, I’m packing light. I’ll just be on your scarf.

THÉ NOIR 29 JFK >> FCO >> AGA >> EZE >> SFO: It’s an ambitious itinerary to be sure, but if anyone’s got the energy for it, it’s me.

ROSE 31 A rose is a rose is a rose wherever you wander, but I’ll be jetting off to a few hot world capitals just to confirm.

BERGAMOTE 22 Naturally, I’ll be packing (REDACTED) so I can (REDACTED) with (REDACTED) and (REDACTED) and if they’re feeling especially frisky, (REDACTED).

BAIE 19 The only passport I need is a gentle rain and my olfactory nerve, beloved.

LYS 41 This year, the tulip fields of the Netherlands will be coming to me to learn a new trick or two.

TONKA 25 I’ll be taking this time to drop in on some family—my cousin vanilla could use a little of the specific warmth I bring to the table.

NEROLI 36 If there’s one thing I definitely won’t need to bring, it’s my laptop. Cute underthings, however…

YLANG 49 It’s adorable that you have a ‘Secret Places of Hawaii' handbook, but I’m going to take you to some *real* local spots.

FLEUR D'ORANGER 27 You can’t spell D’ORANGER without DANGER, can you? Adrenaline is an aphrodisiac - just ask my free-solo climb partner.

PATCHOULI 24 Following bands around the country is so last millennium—these days, I’m listed on the tour rider. See you backstage at Coachella!

LABDANUM 18 The very best trips start with a blindfold, don’t you agree? Now shh - come on over here.

JASMIN 17 Don’t bother bringing an SPF - this spring break is about delicious nighttime adventures.

VETIVER 46 I am redolent of ancient secrets, but it keeps me young enough to be invited to the most exciting destination parties.

AMBRETTE 9 Sometimes you just want to throw caution to the wind and sign up for a booze cruise. We can worry about the consequences later.
