Thé Noir 29 (EDP)

"Thé Noir 29 is Le Labo’s black-tea-centered signature fragrance, widely described as a dark, textured, and quietly sophisticated composition. Official brand material confirms it as an eau de parfum in the Classic collection, while review sources consistently describe a contrast of bright bergamot and fig against dry tea, woods, hay, tobacco, and musk. The fragrance is known for balancing aromatic freshness with earthy, smoky, and slightly animalic undertones, giving it an introspective and refined character. It is often perceived as more understated than loud, developing from a green-fruity opening into a woody, tea-stained drydown. Released in 2015 and created by Frank Voelkl, it has become one of Le Labo’s most distinctive tea fragrances. Its appeal lies in how it feels both polished and unconventional, with a scent profile that many reviewers find highly dependent on skin chemistry."
