LE LABO X THE MET
Art and scent have the power to move us in ways similarly profound and difficult to describe. There is an immediate impression in the initial encounter, but there is yet another layer—one that is often emotional—that only reveals itself over time. Le Labo and The Met have joined together to create a special edition candle, harmonizing the visual arts and fine fragrance through a shared appreciation of subtle beauty. A quieter painting for this collaboration, a 1908 study for Underneath the Cork Oaks by Henri-Edmond Cross was chosen. Drawn to the enchanting imperfections of this unfinished piece, and the way the artist felt an urge to capture a fleeting moment, fixing it forever in time, it is now captured in scent. Laurier 62 is a hand-poured candle that has no fewer than 62 ingredients—some complementing each other, some contrasting—culminating into a beautiful, chaotic mess. To wander through The Met is a feast for the eyes and the soul, this candle allows you to take a little piece home for your nose. For more information, visit lelabofragrances.com.
