WHAT IT DOES: Think beach getaway, but make it moody and romantic. With ambrette seeds, sea salt, and sage, this celeb-favorite scent smells more woody and earthy than summery and sunshine-y.

ABOUT THE BRAND: Le Labo debuted in just 2006 and gained immediate renown for its subtle, striking scents, apothecary packaging, and distinctive naming convention. Each name consists of a word and a number: the most prominent note and the number of notes in the composition.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: This stuff is truly reminiscent of a fireside chat. Users rave about this fragrance due to the ingenuity of a smell that harnesses a specific time and place.

ABOUT THE SCENT: Housed in an instantly recognizable grenade bottle, this reviewer-favorite fragrance boasts notes of jasmine, orange blossom, and patchouli that are captured within every spritz.
