Meet Vanille 44 on your own skin
This is Le Labo Vanille 44, a perfume by Le Labo, offered here as a sample. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle. Give it time to settle before you judge it.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

On the skin
This page says little about what Vanille 44 contains, on purpose: no note list is on record, and the sample says more than a guess. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
Vanille 44 is not on the shelf as a sample yet. Leave your e-mail address in the form on this page and we know someone is waiting for it. When it can be filled, the sizes appear here. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
A decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For Vanille 44 that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
When to wear Vanille 44 is not on record with us; test it on the kind of day you would actually wear it. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Test it on skin and not only on paper.
For Le Labo Vanille 44 no target wearer is recorded here. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you.
You learn more from three wearings of Le Labo Vanille 44 than from thirty opinions about it. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Le Labo is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Vanille 44 from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Le Labo Vanille 44, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
The brand
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.

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.
