Currently lusting after… | A Lab On Fire at Anthropologie

Sunday, March 11, 2012

Oh my god, you guys. These sound amazing! They’re tiny ($32 US for 0.5 fl oz), but – um, yes please.

From the Anthropologie site:

“Each of these four scents from niche perfumers A Lab on Fire, are created by a famous “nose,” batched in a state-of-the-art facility, and packaged and labeled by hand in Brooklyn.

  • What We Do Is Secret: the olfactory footprint of A Lab on Fire; bergamot, nutmeg, pepper, leather, jasmine, sandalwood patchouli and birch (SPICE)
  • What We Do In Paris Is Secret: developed by perfumer Dominique Ropion; a blend of bergamot, honey, lychee fruit, Turkish rose, vanilla, heliotrope, tonka bean, sandalwood and ambergris (SPICE)
  • Rose Rebelle SC-7545: an explosion of Bulgarian and Turkish roses, blended with valerian, red currant, ivy leaves, musk and labdanum (FLORAL)
  • L’Anonyme ou OP-1475-A: developed by perfumer Olivier Polge; a rich blend of bergamot, geranium, blonde woods, white amber and leather (WOODSY)”
–

I’m dying over the notes listing for What We Do Is Secret. Bergamot, nutmeg, pepper, leather, and patchouli, all in one little bottle! It sounds like a dream come true – but I’m wary to order, seeing as the four A Lab On Fire EdPs are online exclusives. Has anyone tried? Thoughts; opinions?

(And Olivier Polge; they’ve gone and gotten themselves a Polge! It’s no secret that I’m head over heels for just about any Polge creation, be it by Jacques or Olivier. Now that is a family with talent.)

    wow, these are available in the u.s. now? previously they were only for sale on colette in france, and I couldn't shell out the shipping fees. Must order! Haven't tried, but there is no place to try, and I feel the price is quite reasonable :P

    Report back! ;)

    They're online only, Liz!! :(

    Should be, yep! Just the little Anthropologie guys, though – I think the brand's regular bottles are larger.

    Let me know what you think of these, if you end up trying them! I'd love to hear your thoughts ;)

    hrm, I think the anthropologie size is standard for the brand; colette lists 15ml too. http://www.colette.fr/#/eshop/article/30758753/a-…
    Will let you know if I get them!

    Ah! I guess Colette is doing smaller sizes, too, then? The brand's site (here) lists only 60ml/2oz bottles, and LuckyScent (here) does the same.

    I hope they're just as incredible as they sound! ;o)

    ah, now i feel silly. Samples are available too. I should order some from Luckyscent.

    Aww, don't feel silly! If anything, you should feel proud – I hadn't heard of Colette before, and spent a good fifteen minutes just clicking through their (wonderfully minimalist) site. So: thanks for linking me to them! ;)

    It's a bummer they didn't create any citrus-y or fruity fragance, because that's the only kind I really like wearing! :(

    What! THEY SHOULD NOT DO THAT WITH PERFUMES. :(

    Oooh, these look interesting! I once set a fire in a lab when I used to work in one. I no longer work in a lab, which is probably for the best.
