Le Labo – Tubereuse 40 Eau de Parfum | New York City Exclusive

Tubereuse 40 Eau de Parfum by Le Labo
Eau de Parfum (30% Concentration) | Unisex | City Exclusives Collection | New York | 2006

New York’s founding City Exclusive. A fragrance that barely deserves its name — and is better for it.

When Le Labo launched the City Exclusives program in 2006, they chose Tubereuse 40 as the fragrance for New York — their home. Created by legendary perfumer Alberto Morillas and bottled at an extraordinary 30% concentration (making it technically an Extrait despite its EDP designation), it is the oldest and most storied City Exclusive in the collection and remains one of the most beloved and sought-after fragrances the house has ever produced. It is named for 40 notes, of which tuberose is just one — and what makes it so unexpectedly brilliant is that it almost hides its name from you entirely, leading with something far more surprising.

The opening is a revelation: a vivid, sparkling rush of Bergamot, Tangerine, African Orange Flower, and Petitgrain that arrives like a great eau de cologne on the finest possible skin. It is immediate, radiant, and joyful — the olfactory equivalent of stepping onto a Manhattan rooftop on a perfect September morning. As the opening citrus brilliance begins to settle, the heart announces itself with extraordinary elegance: Tuberose Absolute — thick, creamy, and narcotic — takes its place alongside luminous Rose, romantic Jasmine, honeyed Mimosa, and the delicate greenness of Virginia Cedar, creating a white floral heart of genuinely rare sophistication. The dry-down brings everything home: Ambrette Absolute, dusty Oak Moss, warm Sandalwood, and a whisper of Amber anchor the composition in a clean, woody musk that is both deeply sensual and effortlessly wearable. At 30% concentration, the longevity is extraordinary.

The fragrance that started it all. New York’s gift to the world.
