They could change (push) the concentration a little bit For the customer who wants a EfT something like 8% and for another maybe 10 or 12% like in EdP. I suppose the perfumers have tried different concentrations and the IFRA tests where made at a high concentration. Good idea indeed. Cordially René Hello Robin,

I like to smell things, so as long as the people trying to sell me fragrance are nice to me, it's fun. I would go to this place if it is friendly. The only thing I don't like are pushy department store SAs who drop you as soon as you aren't interested in whatever they're pushing that day, or treat you like a plebeian if you don't want what everyone is wearing.

You guys are really tough today. I don't care if my perfume is mixed on demand or not, but I like all the rest of it: being able to smell various components in the shop, knowing who the perfumers are, etc. Yet another jaded customer!

I actually loved that store. In this case they aren't mixing on the spot, just adding the fragrance to the alcohol base when you buy. Garden Botanika, yes!! I actually loved that store.

Or maybe that isn't what you meant? A, not sure I understand the comment…those noses are all with the big fragrance & flavor companies, not with other brands per se.

I am fed up myself with new "clever" concepts where I feel treated anyway like a customer and not an individual. but I went myself to the shop of Le Labo and met the guys ! they are exactely the opposite. There is no commercial attitude in what they do or how they act... And the perfumes themselves are really one of a kind. I am wearing the Rose 31 for man and I really feel special for the very first time since ages with a perfume... lots of comments in the street by people smelling me also... that's why we also wear perfume no? Anyway, Just wanted to share my experience with Le Labo that really deserves a visit... B.

It amused me reading the article on thrillist where it said that the guys who own it were sick of the industry hype so they opened their own place, aren't they creating hype themselves? I still wouldn't mind smelling the scents though. Interesting article.
