--- title: Le Labo description: Each Tuesday, a member of our team picks that one thing he or she is obsessing over. This week, artisan Vicky is enthusing over her love of Le Labo fragrances. image: http://blog.lotuffleather.com/hubfs/lelabo1.jpg --- [** ](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/le-labo#) [![black_Lotuff_logo.jpg](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0213/4994/t/13/assets/logo.svg?10524817447150324571 "black_Lotuff_logo.jpg")](http://lotuffleather.com) ## The Essentials:   Le Labo By **Vicky Vitello** on Nov 6, 2018   •   Topic: [The Essentials](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/the-essentials) --- - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![Le Labo Santal 33](http://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/lelabo1.jpg?width=1188&name=lelabo1.jpg "Le Labo Santal 33") "Why does it smell like a boutique hotel in here?” asked my good friend, having arrived for a dinner party. Obviously it was because I had just applied none other than [Le Labo’s Santal 33](https://www.lelabofragrances.com/santal-33.html) body lotion, and his discriminating nose was keen enough to identify the scent. After sufficiently gushing over our love of Le Labo (and boutique hotels), I launched into when this famed fragrance line and I first met. It was a beautiful, relaxing weekend in upstate New York spent with my love while we scoped out venues for our 2015 wedding. For three days and two nights we rested our bodies on the stylish and brightly colored steel-coated beds of [Hotel Tivoli](http://hoteltivoli.org), and drank cocktails under my most [favorite](https://www.instagram.com/p/sfMI3Gl95f/?taken-by=hoteltivoli) [chandelier](http://skalarhudson.com/product/large-italian-glass-chandelier/) of all time at The Corner, the hotel’s accompanying farm-to-table restaurant. Artfully decorated with a mindfulness toward quality, Hotel Tivoli provided their guests with a full array of Le Labo toiletries. I am typically one who ignores anything provided by a hotel, unless it’s [Mast Brothers](https://mastbrothers.com) chocolate at the [Wythe](https://wythehotel.com), or any of the tasty treats left for guests at [The Bowery](http://www.theboweryhotel.com)—all else can go right to the trash. So when Hotel Tivoli bestowed upon us the delightful, woody, musky, warm fragrances of Le Labo to clean us and refresh our senses for the weekend, I was reminded that the little hamlet of Tivoli, NY is really an extension of everything we love about having lived in Brooklyn, but with rolling hills and barns on every corner.   ![Le Labo Santal 33](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/lelabo3.jpg?width=1188&name=lelabo3.jpg "Le Labo Santal 33")I was delighted with the spread of Le Labo products that adorned the subway tiled lined walls of the shower and that sat in the reclaimed wooden box on the white pedestal sink. Everything about the scents of Le Labo translated as luxury, but approachable luxury, much like a stylish hotel sitting amidst a small town in the middle of the country. If I was to define my idea of perfection, it would look much like this. Le Labo boasts numerous fragrances, each warm and defined in their own unique way. But my favorite to this day is the subtle scent of their Santal 33. For me, it's reminiscent of my idyllic weekend in Tivoli, NY, full of warmth, depth, and fresh air. ### Subscribe to Our Blog ### Leave a Comment ### Posts by Topic - [12 Days of Gifting (12)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/12-days-of-gifting) - [A Lotuff Life (3)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/a-lotuff-life) - [Gift Guides (2)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/gift-guides) - [Gifts with Personality (7)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/gifts-with-personality) - [Making the Best (116)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/making-the-best) - [Meet the Team (13)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/meet-the-team) - [The Essentials (112)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/the-essentials) - [The Weekender (145)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/the-weekender) - [Travel Guide (76)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/travel-guide) ### Popular Posts ### Blog Archive - [May 2017 (20)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/05) - [October 2016 (18)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/10) - [March 2017 (18)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/03) - [August 2018 (18)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/08) - [August 2016 (17)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/08) - [April 2018 (17)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/04) - [May 2018 (17)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/05) - [October 2018 (17)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/10) - [September 2016 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/09) - [November 2016 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/11) - [April 2017 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/04) - [June 2017 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/06) - [March 2018 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/03) - [July 2018 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/07) - [February 2018 (15)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/02) - [July 2017 (14)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/07) - [June 2018 (14)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/06) - [September 2018 (14)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/09) - [March 2019 (14)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/03) - [November 2017 (13)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/11) - [November 2018 (13)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/11) - [December 2019 (13)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/12) - [February 2017 (12)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/02) - [August 2017 (12)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/08) - [January 2018 (12)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/01) - [September 2017 (11)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/09) - [October 2017 (11)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/10) - [April 2019 (10)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/04) - [June 2016 (9)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/06) - [December 2017 (9)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/12) - [December 2016 (8)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/12) - [January 2017 (8)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/01) - [August 2019 (8)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/08) - [December 2018 (7)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/12) - [May 2019 (7)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/05) - [July 2019 (6)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/07) - [September 2019 (6)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/09) - [June 2019 (5)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/06) - [October 2019 (5)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/10) - [November 2019 (5)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/11) - [January 2019 (4)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/01) - [February 2019 (4)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/02) - [September 2015 (3)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2015/09) - [July 2016 (3)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/07) - [May 2016 (2)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/05) [Contact](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/contact) [About](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/our-story) [Stockists](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/stockists) [Terms & Conditions](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/terms-and-conditions) [Customer Service](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/customer-service) [Sitemap](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/sitemap) ![](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hubfs/Lotuff%20Logo/logo.svg "logo.svg") [EMAIL US](mailto:info@lotuffleather.com) [  Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/lotuffleather/) [[fa icon="twitter"] Twitter ](https://twitter.com/LotuffLeather) [[fa icon="facebook"] Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/LotuffLeather) [[fa icon="pinterest"] Pinterest ](https://www.pinterest.com/lotuffleather/) 1 Sims Ave, Providence, RI [info@lotuffleather.com](mailto:info@lotuffleather.com) [888 763 2247](tel:18887632247) © 2026 Lotuff Leather.
