Le Labo‘s City Exclusive Collection is all about showing some global love to the cities that have captured our hearts. These fragrances aren’t just your run-of-the-mill scents; they’re the exclusive gems found in the city’s secret scent labs. No online browsing, no shipping hoops to jump through – we’re talking about those rare finds that keep us on our toes. But hey, once a year, the rulebook gets a little shaken up. For the month of September, the City Exclusives spread their wings beyond their urban nests and venture out to win over new admirers.

And this September, set your radar on the scene-stealer: Le Labo’s brand-new sensation for Shanghai, The Myrrhe 55.

Now, let’s talk myrrh. This ain’t just any resin – it’s the sacred stuff that history deemed more precious than gold. In the world of traditional Chinese medicine, it’s the wingman for “blood circulation stimulation.” So, it’s no shocker that MYRRHE 55, the Shanghai standout, pumps up the volume on that heartbeat. Picture myrrh strutting its stuff with hints of incense and a bold touch of licorice – it’s the core of this olfactory artistry. And the squad? Well, jasmine and patchouli join the party, lounging on a smooth bed of oud, ambergris, and yes, musk (don’t worry, all vegan vibes). MYRRHE 55 is like the epitome of class without the flashy, a timeless marvel that’s got its own modern groove. You can’t just brush this one off – it’s got that magnetic allure that sticks around. It’s a blend of the dark and the electric, a bridge between what’s been and what’s new. Just like the city it’s made for – Shanghai in all its enigmatic glory.
