History
Fabrice Penot and Eddie Roschi founded Le Labo in 2006 in New York City as a rejection of mass-market fragrance standards. The brand introduced personalized labeling and on-site blending, which became hallmarks of its identity. It influenced fashion history by popularizing gender-neutral, artisanal scents and shifting consumer focus toward transparency and process. The brand's 2014 acquisition by Estée Lauder marked a significant transition for independent artisanal houses into global corporate portfolios.
