It’s not a secret that every cool girl you know wears a niche fragrance such as Le Labo Sandal 33, the unisex yet unique fragrance has been in the beauty world for a while, and even though we are late to this party — Ten years behind from its launch— After wearing this fragrance for a while and being stopped countless times in the street, I decided to give my thoughts about the cult classic New York fragrance.

Le Labo Santal 33 Review
The first time I smelled this fragrance — Almost a decade ago— Was when I used to intern at ELLE magazine back in the days… I remember I was on set, and the fashion director walked into the studio smelling like no one else. The scent she had was really unique and chic and something wholly unique and different from other fragrances I have ever smelled before.
When she left the photoshoot, I remember the whole studio had that luxury and bougie smell. As a perfume aficionado, I asked her assistant if she knew the perfume Naomi was wearing. She said, Le Labo Santal 33, so as soon I arrived home, I checked online, and after seeing the price tag ($456 for 100ml), I had to wait — and save — to be able to wear that bougie fragrance one day.
Le Labo Santal 33 is that kind of niche perfume that makes you feel special, and, yes, very sexy. The milky sandalwood and comforting Iris give this perfume its addictive comfort that secures longevity — Something rare in perfumery—
From fashion editors to actresses and models, Le Labo Sandal 33 is still a beloved fragrance after many years for a reason, and even though 100ml cost quite a lot, you don’t need to wear much to get the compliments rolling.
I’ve been wearing this fragrance for a couple of years, and yes, I love to try new perfumes, but I always come back to this one. First, because it lasts on my skin the whole day long, plus It makes me feel empowered every time I wear it. You can also now find Le Labo Santal 33 dupes that cost half the price, such as — Oysho number 1 (You can find this one only in Europe). Who is Elijah HIS | HER, or Maison Louis Marie No.4 Perfume Oil. Are they the same? Probably not, but they have the same vibe if you want something similar without breaking the bank.
Does Le Labo Santal 33 worth the money?
It depends on how important are fragrances for you and how unique you want to smell —And feel— If you want to wear something special that not everybody wears and lasts from breakfasts to dinner, then you should go to Mecca and get your very chic bottle that you can even personalised with you name or nice message! Otherwise, you can get similar ones — but not the same — for a quarter the price.
