Le Labo Aldehyde 44 Sample
Wear Aldehyde 44 first, decide later
Here Le Labo Aldehyde 44, a perfume, is listed as a sample of 2, 5 or 10 ml. Its notes are not in our files, and we would rather say so than fill the gap. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
No pyramid here
There is no pyramid on this page for Le Labo Aldehyde 44, because none is on record in our data. What it does on skin is for you to find out. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
-
Asking for this sample
The status of Aldehyde 44 is on request, so the sizes are not open yet. Tell us through the form on this page that you want it, without any obligation. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
-
The sample itself
The sample is made by hand: Le Labo Aldehyde 44 goes from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, which we then label. Glass does not react with perfume, so what you smell is the perfume itself. A spray vial lets you apply it the way you would from the bottle, which a dab-on tube does not.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
We have no tags that say when Le Labo Aldehyde 44 fits best, which leaves the choice to you. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.
Who it is for
Who Aldehyde 44 is aimed at is not on record with us. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you.
Why try Le Labo Aldehyde 44 as a sample first
A sample of Aldehyde 44 answers the two things that matter: whether you like it, and whether you still like it on the fifth wearing. FragranceGems fills it from the original bottle and labels it; it is not an official brand sample, and Le Labo has no part in it.

Frequently asked
Is this the same perfume as the full bottle?
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Le Labo Aldehyde 44 and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Le Labo Aldehyde 44, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
How do I test Aldehyde 44 properly?
Spray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.
The brand
About Le Labo
Le Labo began in 2006 as a small laboratory in Nolita, New York, opened by two friends, Fabrice Penot and Eddie Roschi. The names follow a formula, a raw material plus a number, and they rarely tell the whole story: Santal 33 is as much cardamom, iris and violet as sandalwood, and in Patchouli 24 birch smoke takes over. That is why samples matter with this house. A 10 ml decant shows what the name leaves out, on your skin, over several days.
- Opened in New York in 2006 by friends Fabrice Penot and Eddie Roschi, first on Elizabeth Street
- A name is a raw material plus a number, as in Santal 33
- Bottles are labelled with a place, a preparation date and a name

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
