Le Labo Bigarade 18 Sample
Bigarade 18 in a small glass spray vial
Le Labo Bigarade 18 is a perfume that we decant into glass spray vials of 2, 5 or 10 ml. We have no note list on record for it, so we describe nothing we cannot back up. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
No note list on record
There is no pyramid on this page for Le Labo Bigarade 18, because none is on record in our data. What it does on skin is for you to find out. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.

On request
For now, Le Labo Bigarade 18 can only be asked for. The form on this page records your interest in this perfume, and we make no promise about timing. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.

What a decant is
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Bigarade 18 from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings. 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
For Le Labo Bigarade 18 we hold no season or occasion data, so try it in more than one setting. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather.
Who it is for
No audience is on record for Le Labo Bigarade 18, and a perfume does not check who wears it anyway. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
Why try Le Labo Bigarade 18 as a sample first
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. 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. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.

Frequently asked
What does the sample look like?
It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Bigarade 18 the way you normally would.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Le Labo Bigarade 18, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
How should I keep the vial?
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Bigarade 18 as it was when we filled it.
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.
