Le Labo’s City Exclusive collection was created to pay tribute to the cities we love around the world. These fragrances are usually only available in the labs of the city they belong to, and nowhere else. This means no online orders, no shipping, no exceptions (some beautiful things are hard to get…). But once a year, and once a year only, we close our eyes and let the City Exclusives leave their hometowns for the month of September to find new people to
love them.
This year, we welcome a new City Exclusive fragrance for Mexico City, CORIANDRE 39.
CITY EXCLUSIVE SCENT – CORIANDRE 39 Mexico City
Cilantro: the most controversial of all herbs? Some of us can wax poetic about those lacy leaves. And some of us
fervently disagree. Need we say more? Yes, actually. We’re pretty sure CORIANDRE 39 will surprise you.
With the first spritz, a zing of spicy lime and aldehydic cilantro leaves (coriandre in French) set the stage for quieter crisp watery notes to peek through. Fresh, green florals enter, then stick around for an intoxicating musky dry down. It’s a sensory experience that teeters between tranquil and vibrant. Think forest bathing in El Bosque de Chapultepec – a peace enriched by call-and-repeat birdsong – or sipping mezcal in the shade at a humming café in La Condesa.
So… controversial? Maybe. Mexico City in a bottle? We invite you to decide for yourself with a visit to our Mexico
City Labs.
“Every year, we look forward to September & the release of our City Exclusives. For us, this month is a time to reconnect with these fragrances and places we treasure around the world…and to be reminded of the ways anticipation can renew our appreciation, how patience unfolds into new beginnings.
This year’s collection also introduces our newest City Exclusive fragrance, CORIANDRE 39, crafted as an ode to Mexico City. Its namesake, the humble (at times divisive) cilantro plant, lends a vegetal lushness both grounding and surprising—much like the city’s intoxicating blend of vibrant aliveness and deep history, of birdsong and urban buzz, of infinite discoveries around every corner.
As with every special City Exclusives, we hope it may both immerse you in the present…and inspire your own future journeying, transporting you to those places that speak to the senses, open you up in new ways, and connect deeply with your authentic self.”
