Le Labo’s Kyoto City Exclusives Fragrance, OSMANTHUS 19, Now Available Worldwide for a Limited Time

With September just around the corner, so too is Le Labo’s annual City Exclusive Event – a month long celebration where the brand’s most coveted city-specific fragrances get to leave their hometowns and travel the world. And this year, all eyes are on Kyoto as the New York-based perfumery unveils OSMANTHUS 19 to the rest of the globe.

An Ode to Kyoto’s Ancient-Meets-Modern Charm

Inspired by the brand’s Kyoto flagship, housed in a restored machiya filled with warm wood and raw textures, OSMANTHUS 19 captures the essence of Wabi-Sabi living. This limited-edition scent embodies the edge of Kyoto, featuring notes of incense, aromatic lavender, osmanthus, and woody tones. It’s a reminder to continually seek our impermanent, untamable beauty.

Experience the Magic of OSMANTHUS 19

The fragrance opens with a burst of incense and aromatic lavender, then settles into a creamy, uplifting heart of its titular flower. Finally, it finishes with deep woody tones, capturing the ephemeral magic of the osmanthus flower. This rare bloom only emerges as the rest of nature quiets into winter weathers.

Discover the Full City Exclusive Lineup

In addition to OSMANTHUS 19, the full City Exclusive lineup includes favorites like Coriandre 39 (Mexico City), Myrrhe 55 (Shanghai), and Citron 28 (Seoul). But hurry – these exclusive scents are only available through September 30. Don’t miss your chance to explore far-off places through decadent fragrances.
