Le Labo Blooms This month, quirky artisanal perfumer Le Labo adds two new scents, Ylang 49 and LYS 41, to its coveted collection of classic permanent fragrances, available exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue. Years can go into the development process of each Le Labo perfume. "We keep creating, modifying, playing endlessly with formulas until magic hits," says co-founder Fabrice Penot. "We finally got lucky twice with these two perfumes, which happened to mature at about the same time." Le Labo describes the floral fragrances as "imperfect twin" scents. We think they're just perfect for summer weddings. Exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue.
