Is Le Labo Shower Gel Worth it? 

The basil/sesame shower gel just gives you that fresh and clean feeling that no other body wash does! Definitely a must buy!

i’ve been wearing their santal 33 perfume since I was 17 and I smelled it my room at the ace hotel in flatiron NYC. i emailed the receptionist of the hotel asking what the scent was and haven’t stopped wearing it since. i’m now 25 and to this day get compliments on it constantly! honestly don’t care that it’s become so popular, i’ll never give it up.

The Hinoki shower gel is hands down my favorite. In regards to the lotion, my go to is also the Hinoki body cream. Better priced, last longer and I believe overall a better lotion.

Thanks for such an in-depth review. On the dry skin lotion-luxury fragrance topic... The day I made my first Jo Malone purchase I was struggling with wanting to buy so many things at once that I felt that I needed to pass on the Body Creme. The sales associate saw my struggle and gave me the best tip ever. Rather than spend $90-$110 for the tub of body creme, buy the Jo Malone Bath oil for $72 (today's prices) and a good drugstore unscented body lotion. Every time you need lotion pump out the drugstore lotion and add a pump (or more) of the bath oil to it. Now you have a luxury body creme AND if you use oil that matches your perfume, as I did, then it does help your fragrance last all day. But the best part is that I bought that body oil in 1996 and I still have half of it left. Never has gone rancid, it's perfect. Oh the money that tip has saved me!

Last month I stayed in a hotel in Chicago which had Le Labo Rose as their toiletry. It was OK but I would not spend my own money on these. However, in the Delta lounge Ohare airport, they had the Grown Alchemist Orange and Cedarwood handwash. It was so good! I am thinking of trying their bodywash.

I have Another 13, Santal 33, and Tonka 25 perfumes.

Hinoki is hands down one of the best shower gels out there. That scent is amazing. My only complains there is no pump and you can't buy refills. My fave perfumes from Le Labo is Thé Noir, Iris, Rose and Another 13. I'm done with Santal. You smell it on every corner 🤣

I generally use shower gels for an aromatic shower experience (beyond cleaning of course). I usually don't expect the scent to linger which is fine because I have scented lotion and perfume for that. For a much lower price point, Korres makes excellent body washes with complex scent profiles. I like Bergamot Pear.

Yall he’s not lying about the shower gel!! The first time I used it and got into bed my gf was all over me. Get the hinoki one!!

You might like Aesop's 'A Rose By Any Other Name Body Cleanser' it's a lovely rose and pepper scent. And a fabulous brand.

Mmm, I'm with you on rose fragrances! I can't get enough roses in my life!

Hi Rekeema, i Thank you for the reviews. You got that special effects going on 🔥 🔥. PeAcE

I do love and enjoying right now one of their wash linen detergents 32 & 33 and my bed sheets are whole another level 💜

Same, body wash scents never last on my skin. All my lotions, deodorant, and perfume cancels it out anyway. Would cop this for a special occasion/mood only.

I agree with everything 💚I also love the hinoki shower gel! Reminds me of a big SPA (the Well) here in Norway who has a japanese bath house on top, and this shower gel transports me to that place with a zen mind. When it comes to body lotions I prefer to use unscented, skin friendly ones and then mix in high quality and lovely essential oils. Thank you for your lovely YT-channel! 💚

Bergamote 22 is perfection 👌🏼

I absolutely love the coat you're wearing! Where is it from? Consider making some men's fashion videos. I'm sure many people would love that type of content. Keep up the great work bro! 🙌

let me… hinoki shower gel, hinoki body cream paired with their bergamot parfum!!! godly combo

For the price of the lotion, I wouldn't buy that. Tried the Bergamote 22 lotion in the store and immediately said no..... got the body wash and fragrance instead. However, if they went the Jo Malone route and made body creme to match the fragrance, I'd definitely pay that.

I think body oil is a better deal than the body lotion. Also highly recommend the le labo mens grooming products, they are kinda like aroma therapy for me....I also like the candle petit grain so much, so I bought the petit grain home fragrance but I wear them as perfume haha

Just found your channel .. loving your videos! Very helpful

I personally didn’t vibe with the Hinoki shower gel. I’m about halfway through the bottle and it’s not that I actively dislike it, it’s just that I haven’t really been wowed.

check out the Matcha 26, warm fig, tea and light powdery orange sitting on vetiver ❤

I love LeLabo products. Favorite scents are Bergamot 22, Rose 31, The Noir, Santal 33 Lys 41. They are wonderful. Would love to see you do a candle review.

Try Aesop, completely natural and fancy smell

I agree about the differences of perfumed and the natural gels. I love LYS 41 so I splurged on the gel and found the base to be...meh. It reminded me of a generic castile base with perfume sprayed atop. I used it occasionally so I wouldn't waste my money. I ordered the hinoki sample and loved the thick and rich texture. I just ordered again. I would love to try the mandarin, but it's always sold out.

Oh Thanks for making this! I wanted to try the perfumed body wash 😅 welp, no more! As much as I love a luxury body wash, I also like one that’s nice on the pockets. Can’t wait to try the natural line. Thanks for sharing 💕

I have three Le Labo fragrances, The Noir 29, Bergamot 22 and Gaiac 10. I also want Cedrat 37 but have to wait until September when the city exclusives will come back to my local boutique. The Noir quite powerful, very few sprays last all day leave a huge sillage. Bergamot also last quite long. Especially for a citrus scent, but the sillage is more moderate. Gaiac sits closest to the skin, but does still last. I am curious about their candles and body products, but was way of getting sucked into the body products--somehow the money going literally down the drain feels worse than shelling out for the EDPs. Will probably spring for a candle soon, however.

Hey detailed dream I have a question for you. Would you still purchase a candle if it was 100% soy wax but that used zinc core wicks? Or are you against the use of zinc core wicks in luxury candles? I really enjoy your content btw 😊

@detaileddream have you tried L:A Bruket’s shower gels? They’re based in Sweden.

If you don’t mind me asking.. what are some of your favorite body washes?

I bought their santal 33 soap bar. It was very drying and the scent pretty much washed away after I rinsed off.

I have to invest in a parfum before I invest in their parfuming lotion or soap from Le Labo...But I'll try the shower gel soon... Random: Harlem Candle Co just released 3 new scents...I'm sure I'll hear about them from you soon...lol

Been using Mistral Salted Gin from Candle Delirium. It's not bad.

Is the bottle for the Hinoki bath gel easy to dispense. I’ve had some in the past that were too stiff to squeeze.

Anthony makes a better natural shower gel at a much affordable price

do you use the same fragrance if u use the same lotion? thinking about wearing Santal cologne on top of santal lotion

Which would you say is better or prefer? Le Labo body wash or Aesop?

Would the Hinoki work for a woman?

❤ another 13

How does this compare to Aesop body wash?

Rekeema what is the name of the luxury candle store in NY you talked about before? I have it saved on my old phone. Amouth?

Wheres your jacket from please?

Your skin deserves the very best, don't you think?

Le Labo Fragrances are way over priced and performance is a bit light not taking away the scent profile which is good. Thats been my experience.

Have you ever had a bad candle experience?

Gonna pick up some body cream and body wash gonna grab the smaller version first time ever trying them never even smelled there scent all I got is some creed cologne I got for Christmas and I’m trying to expand alltime fav scent is Burberry touch wore it since 16 always get compliments

I finished 2 bottles and my mom also in her 2nd jumbo bottle🫶🏻
