Hi Eva, my personal favorites on my chemistry is Another 13 & Santal 33. Initially I wasn’t too fond of them. But over time, and once the fragrance develops in the bottle over time, it gets better. I get plenty of compliments because I also wear my fragrances with confidence. My wife isnt fond of them on her skin, but she likes them on me. Im open minded when it comes to fragrances, depending on my mood and of course season. Great review. Love your accent and voice. Very very soothing.
The' Noir 29 was my gateway to Le Labo. I was sick if paying money for junk that I never connected with and the insult to injury is that you get to smell like everyone else. The' Noir 29 was not only alluring, the performance was OUTSTANDING. Berg 22 is my summer signature scent for all the reasons your mentioned but it turns cozy, as if the PM light gets switched on. I have gotten good performance from all Le Labo frags. First house I've fallen head over heals with.
Yes all genders can wear whatever the want..however the best reviewers will say if a scent is feminine leaning or masculine leaning. It is extremely informative and descriptive. It is helpful for those of us that blind buy. Lucky Scent which is a top perfume reseller in the U.S has a scale showing the degrees a perfume is feminine or masculine or straight down the middle. I don't care for masculine scents on me so it so helpful when a reviewer mentions if masculine or feminine. Ah ha! You did save feminine. Thanks!
Thé Noir is my favorite. I was surprised because it fine, sniffing the card, but it's much more interesting on my skin. The dry down gets even better. I think it's the bite of the bay that is a very pleasing contrast to my chemistry that makes all scents go warm and sweet on me. Hilarious, I wore my sample to Copenhagen last May, and I didn't like it while I was in Copenhagen. It's always interesting how the place changes my scent choices.
It's a reminder to bring more green, floral scents when I go back to Copenhagen this May. I'm very sensitive to aldehydes and Le Labo is very heavy. I enjoy it more in my dirty city near San Francisco. Copenhagen and Stockholm were a bit too fresh and clean. Especially, Stockholm in the spring.
Patchouli 24 is one of the most under rated scent ever and thank god , please keep it that way . We don’t want the noir 29 to happen again …. lol I’m Canadian and it reminds me of camp fire at the winter cottages . Amazingly nostalgic
Eva- I never even heard of these but because of your videos (especially he one at Liberty) I am hooked. I could not choose just one so I ended up buying three. I now have Lys, L'orange and Ylang. Love them - thanks for the info!
Eva, I'm not sure if you know but, Le Labo offers a package of all their fragrances in 1.5ml sample sizes. The offer comes with a 50ml or a 100ml (empty) bottle, so once you choose make up your mind you go back to the store and fill the bottle with whichever fragrance stole your heart. It's $195 (not sure in GBP) for the package with all fragrances + 50ml, I can't remember how much it is for the 100ml deal. Anyway, Le Labo is my favorite fragrance house, too! And it's always a little perk to know they're also cruelty free. Hope this helps! And if you already knew, oh well! Hahah big hug your way!
i saw this with some bloggers but thought it was like a blogger promotion thing so thats so cool they do that! Its a great way to try them all at home and see what works for you - thanks for the tip lovely, really great one! xxx
Enjoyed the vid. Bulgari Black is a sibling of Patchouli 24. Same perfumer, Annick Menardo. Give it a try if you haven't! Tea Noir (lots of rose), Lys, and Ylang all smell great on women. My favorite is Oud 27. Not for most!
thx eva! I have santal and rose. I just ordered samples of the others you mentioned. can't wait to try them! I generally dislike pure patchouli but love woody vanilla. the description says that the actual smell of patchouli is secondary. I'm intrigued!
Ooo im intrigued now to see what you will think of it :) Scents with vanilla go very creamy on my skin so lets see how this one goes with you - keep me updated! xx
Hi Eva! I luv it when u do reviews of perfumes. I plan to purchase Santal but now the Bergamot scent u mentioned now intrigues me.. I luv earl grey tea so would be interesting to wear. Look fwd to more scent reviews and vlogs. Thanks!
Eva, I like the seemingly asymmetrical eye shadow... reminds me of your mismatched "screw you" shoes.. was that on purpose, or was it just the lighting? :)
+Liz Seville I think it is worth testing Liz because a few people say it doesn't last on them. For Alen and myself it lasts about 5 hours but I've heard people say it didn't last over 3 hours on them. Do you have an opportunity to try it? X
I love The Noir!! and the Paris exclusive Vanille 44 is lovely. I'm not a fan of Rose 31 as a bottled fragrance, but there is something about the Rose 31 soap that is magical, but at $45 a bar I have to make mine last as long as possible. I also like both the Santals, but only have those as samples, but as you say, a little goes a long way. I like to spray the home version on my bed clothes. But Fleur d'orangerie: No, just, no! Talk about old lady smell. BTW: if people don't realize, once a year the Le Labo website lets you buy samples of the city exclusives, but perhaps that's only in the US, I'm not certain.
I need to try Santale 33 very soon, you've piqued my interest. Have you tried their Labdanum scent? I tried it at Liberty's London and was impressed though Labdanum is one if my favourite fragrance notes. I tried Bergamot 22 too and its performance was very poor on me. If you've tried it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Bergamot Extrait by Roja Dove, which is my No. 1 bergamot fragrance. Great video again.
+Edwin Felix hi Edwin, not tried the Roja one but will add it to the list to try :) haven't smelt labdanum either so must do that! Thanks for the recommendations x
Just about to watch this! My high light of they day was going to visit my horses down on our farm! Ps just donated on your just giving page... such a great cause! Good luck with the haircut! Xx
Hi, Eva! Love your perfume videos:) Have your tried Serge Lutens? It has been my favourite house for quite a few years now, would love to hear your opinion:)
Hi Kristina, I've tried a couple and think they're nice but not spent enough time trying each one and researching them. What are your top recommendations and i will go try try try :) xx
Obviously I can only speak for myself but I, just like you, really love woody fragrances so my top recommendations would be Feminite du Bois, Un Bois Vanille and Jeux de Peau. I also love and have in my collection Chergui and Fleurs d'Orange but you might not like them as the first one is really tobacco-y and the second one is pure floral, but give at least the first three a go:)
I love le labo! I don’t know why they don’t get as much love as other brands; at least among the reviewers I normally watch. Unfortunately, patchouli smells like formaldehyde on my skin :/
Eva in the City -Hello Eva, do you know if Byredo and Frederic Malle offer or sell samples the way Le Labo does? I'd really like to test them first before I plunk down hundreds of dollars for a fragrance that I may not wear well. Please do video of you and Sam in NYC!
Jaxxy J hey :) Frederic Malle can be very stingy with samples but they do have 10ml travel bottles to purchase for all fragrances. Byredo are great and always happy to give out samples for free 👍🏻
If u r into niche market Santal 33 will look very normal and too common to u. There are thousands of similar and much better in other brands and houses which are better and same price. I think price is not justified for Le Labo. Check By Kilian, Amouage and etc
I don't see a lot of people who like it, but I really enjoy Matcha 26. I have samples of The Noir, Rose and Lys on the way...so we will see how Matcha compares. So far, I'm super impressed with this line, even Santal 33, which I'm not a fan of (the leather seemed to play out more on my skin.) This brand has made me fall in love with perfume, again. Plus, I love that they're cruelty free. Win/win in my book. :)
+hoolagirl57ishot I'm donating it on Wednesday, will explain the process in the video :) it's very very long lol the charity 'little princess trust' that I'm donating too ask for 7 inches minimum, I have about 11 inches to donate, maybe 12 depending how short I go xx
hoolagirl57ishot that's cool your a stylist, yeh it's about 12 inches currently I think. I'm thinking to cut it just above my shoulder, not sure if it will suite me but worth doing and it will grow so I'm going to try be brave lol I've had long hair for about a decade so this is a big change but so worth it and fun too cx
Eva in the City woahhh babe I just checked your instagram and your hair is past your waist!! maybe you could put it out there that if you reach a certain goal, you'll donate more than 12 inches? maybe 16 inches for say over 1000 pounds?
Eva in the City babe 16 inches of hair would still leave it shoulder length, have you measured your pony to see how much length you have? and you're super cute hun, above the shoulders will definitely suit You! are you wanting a bob?
Smells of urine 😳😂 I think I will leave hint of urine until I am an old lady and don't need to pay for it. 😉😂 This was fab - I always love your videos and you look stunning without your glasses. X
Laughed out lout at you saying Santal 33 smells like Urine! :D If your urine smells like that, you should start peeing into bottles and selling it for a whole lot of money! :D It's fascinating how subjective our impressions of scents are. To me, Santal 33 smells very clean. Great review though!
Does Santal smell like dog’s urine or is it more of a human’s note? Cat’s pee would be the worst. Jump off the Le Labo, Creed and other such like hypetrain with the possible exception of some Tom Fords and check out Comme des Garçons, Malle, high end Guerlain and Dior fragrances, perhaps Zegna too. For $3/ml or more a fragrance, whether niche or designer, has to not only smell great but perform great both in terms of longevity and sillage. Not that some Comme des Garçons don’t perform poorly, they do, Wonderwood’s sillage is next to non-existent but overall these brands deliver on all levels.
Eva!! Hello lovely. I hope you are well. I must catch up on your videos. I had been busy at work since I was going on vacation/holiday. I went to Cuba. It was beautiful. I am now on Snapchat and have added you 😊
thank you lovely lady :) Cuba is high on my must visit list so you've got to tell me all about it :) I want to go so bad! Hope you both had a lovely time xxx
Gender can be associated with fragrances... sweeter smells like vanilla are more soft and fem, while more rugged smells are more masculine because of their association with biology. It's simply your freedom of choice to smell somewhere on that gendered spectrum...
I disagree fragrance is not genderless. You even use the word unisex casually. As a woman I don’t want to wear a very masculine smell. It’s not just a liquid it’s an experience just like relationships
I''m so confused. Do you like the smell of urine? idk how your video was a suggestion to me but I'm going to assume you either have no idea what you are talking about or I heard you wrong lol. Santal 33 is my holy grail fragrance and it is EXTREMELY popular for a reason and that reason is not urine. The confusing part is I could see you saying that about a fragrance to be a jerk just because you don't like them but you are saying you like it. Nobody likes urine😂
Lys is my all time favorite fragrance, I wear it every single day!! It smells like the beach to me :)
Lys is my Nieces Nickname,Her name is Ellysa,I so want to buy Her a bottle!
Hi Eva, my personal favorites on my chemistry is Another 13 & Santal 33. Initially I wasn’t too fond of them. But over time, and once the fragrance develops in the bottle over time, it gets better.

"this is a liquid, putting a gender on it makes no sense" - subscribed! :)
I'm travelling to Amsterdam soon and I came across a hotel which has a supply of Le Labo cosmetics in the bathroom!
I am living for The Noir. It is an incredible perfume! Amazing.
Thé Noir is my favorite. I was surprised because it fine, sniffing the card, but it's much more interesting on my skin. The dry down gets even better. I think it's the bite of the bay that is a very pleasing contrast to my chemistry that makes all scents go warm and sweet on me. Hilarious, I wore my sample to Copenhagen last May, and I didn't like it while I was in Copenhagen. It's always interesting how the place changes my scent choices.
It's a reminder to bring more green, floral scents when I go back to Copenhagen this May. I'm very sensitive to aldehydes and Le Labo is very heavy. I enjoy it more in my dirty city near San Francisco. Copenhagen and Stockholm were a bit too fresh and clean. Especially, Stockholm in the spring.
The Noir 29,Rose 31,& Ylang 49 are my faves from this line.
Vetivier is the nuts ! Great scent . I bought a bottle last week . Love
you can wear sandal 33 with noir 29 together and it smells very different in a good way
Wenyue Wang I blend thé noir with bergamot 22... Perfect woody and floral blend!
These green glasses all suited you perfectly! I don’t find them too granny, they are just the right amount of grannyish
Patchouli 24 is one of the most under rated scent ever and thank god , please keep it that way . We don’t want the noir 29 to happen again …. lol I’m Canadian and it reminds me of camp fire at the winter cottages . Amazingly nostalgic
Eva- I never even heard of these but because of your videos (especially he one at Liberty) I am hooked. I could not choose just one so I ended up buying three. I now have Lys, L'orange and Ylang. Love them - thanks for the info!

a guy that wears Santal33 and he just is the most attractive person~ I can't explain how the perfume is doing to my head~
thx eva! I have santal and rose. I just ordered samples of the others you mentioned. can't wait to try them! I generally dislike pure patchouli but love woody vanilla. the description says that the actual smell of patchouli is secondary. I'm intrigued!
Ooo im intrigued now to see what you will think of it :) Scents with vanilla go very creamy on my skin so lets see how this one goes with you - keep me updated! xx
Eva in the City thx I will!!
Omg, I just had to get up and smell Santal, and you are so right about the smell. At first I thought it was orange, but I can see what you mean. Lol
I'm dying for a bottle of Ylang49!
I think my favorite is Vetiver 46, followed by Bergamote 22. Then patchouli 24.Wanna try another 13 and gaiac 10.
Hi Eva! I luv it when u do reviews of perfumes. I plan to purchase Santal but now the Bergamot scent u mentioned now intrigues me.. I luv earl grey tea so would be interesting to wear. Look fwd to more scent reviews and vlogs. Thanks!
Just saw you are nearly 12,000! That's great Eva-congratulations!!👏🏻
thank you so much Susan! Its so exciting!! xxx
Yes. 12,007 as I watch.
Well deserved. Great channel. Great future. Great fun.
mill101 thank you! Xxx
I don't see the link you mentioned with regards to the decanted city exclusives you purchase...??
Santal 33 is a masterpiece, love it
Santal 33 is the best
Great video. For my next fragrance purchase, im thinking Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza or Thé Noir 29. I'm really stuck between the two
Eva, I like the seemingly asymmetrical eye shadow... reminds me of your mismatched "screw you" shoes.. was that on purpose, or was it just the lighting? :)
+B. R. It's just the lighting x
B. R. I loved this too! looks awesome... Eva always looks awesome :)
Le Labo is a great brand. I love Bergamote 22. People seem to really love this on me. I might just buy a full size bottle ...
I have been thinking of buying Bergamotte 22 with a Liberty voucher - dare I risk it untested do you think?
+Liz Seville I think it is worth testing Liz because a few people say it doesn't last on them. For Alen and myself it lasts about 5 hours but I've heard people say it didn't last over 3 hours on them. Do you have an opportunity to try it? X
Eva in the City - not easily! Have a voucher I need to send my daughter to spend because I cannot get into Liberty in person. Good point though.
Liz Seville send me an email at evainthecity1@gmail.com - I think I have an idea x
When I was wearing Santal33, the guy walking next to me told me I smelled like fish spices :p
Everyone I know loves it. Say I smell of a cedar/cigar box
Santal 33 is my first Le Labo - I just ordered a sample of Patchouli. I have high hopes!
Love your explanation of the Le Labo fragrances
I love The Noir!! and the Paris exclusive Vanille 44 is lovely. I'm not a fan of Rose 31 as a bottled fragrance, but there is something about the Rose 31 soap that is magical, but at $45 a bar I have to make mine last as long as possible.

Great vid! I love that house and Santal 31 is my signature scent.
thank you :) Santal is amazing :) xx
have you tried the baie 19? would love to see u do a review on that
It's a scent, not just liquid. :) but, yeah, i agree.
Santal 33 does NOT smell like urine.
It smells like the wild west to me. Leathery, sandalwood, and tad bit of sour notes.
Hi, Eva! Love your perfume videos:) Have your tried Serge Lutens? It has been my favourite house for quite a few years now, would love to hear your opinion:)

i haven't i must try it :) xx
I love le labo! I don’t know why they don’t get as much love as other brands; at least among the reviewers I normally watch. Unfortunately, patchouli smells like formaldehyde on my skin :/
Remember when you come to NYC we have to get the NYC exclusive ❤

26 is my favorite
everyone is wearing santal 33 out here in California
I wish so Bad I could wear perfume!! But it gives me migraines..:( Sounds like a lovely Brand though!!
I hate Santal 33 , horrible. And i have a full bottle, lol. Patchouli is nice.
If u r into niche market Santal 33 will look very normal and too common to u. There are thousands of similar and much better in other brands and houses which are better and same price. I think price is not justified for Le Labo. Check By Kilian, Amouage and etc

Hi what's your favorite from CDG, please?
@@troecurov3 probably Wonderwood, unconventional but not too far out there, it doesn't scream avantgarde.

Hilarious on the T shirt and perfume attracting creeps 😂
Gender can be associated with fragrances... sweeter smells like vanilla are more soft and fem, while more rugged smells are more masculine because of their association with biology. It's simply your freedom of choice to smell somewhere on that gendered spectrum...
my god your a strikingly beautiful woman. sheese. mesmerzing...........
£125.00 for a perfume that smells of pee?? Interesting!
It DOESN'T smell like urine its amazing
I disagree fragrance is not genderless. You even use the word unisex casually. As a woman I don’t want to wear a very masculine smell. It’s not just a liquid it’s an experience just like relationships
Everything is NOT unisex...
Le Labo is for people with more money than taste.
I''m so confused. Do you like the smell of urine? idk how your video was a suggestion to me but I'm going to assume you either have no idea what you are talking about or I heard you wrong lol. Santal 33 is my holy grail fragrance and it is EXTREMELY popular for a reason and that reason is not urine. The confusing part is I could see you saying that about a fragrance to be a jerk just because you don't like them but you are saying you like it. Nobody likes urine😂
Smells like urine? Wtf
weirdo stranger creeps...quit watching when I heard that
I thought this was a fragrance review, but instead it turned into a social justice commentary....
