The Noir 29

Le Labo Thé Noir 29 (Eau de Parfum, 2015): Bright Bergamot and Fig over Black Tea Leaves with Dry Tobacco Hay Woods

A woody aromatic tea fragrance that balances fresh, green brightness with a deep, dry, leafy warmth. It feels intimate and textured, like dark tea steeping near sun-warmed woods.

Fragrance Notes

Top: Bergamot, Fig, Bay Leaf
Heart: Cedarwood, Vetiver, Musk
Base: Black Tea Leaves, Tobacco, Hay

What It Smells Like

It opens crisp and airy with bergamot and a soft fig sweetness, sharpened by herbal bay leaf. As it settles, cedar and vetiver add a clean woody backbone while musk smooths the edges. The dry-down turns drier and darker, with black tea leaves bringing a leafy feel that reads slightly smoky. Tobacco and hay give it a warm, rustic finish that clings close to skin.

Who Is It For

Marketed unisex and wears truly unisex. Ideal for someone who wants a signature that feels subtle, refined, and distinctive rather than loud.

When to Wear

Great in fall and winter, and also works year-round in air conditioning, especially day to evening.

Why You’ll Love It
