The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012, Benjoin 19 Moscow Perfume Oil by Le Labo is a composition crafted by Frank Voelkl that balances warm spices with woody and powdery accords. The fragrance opens with an amber note that sets the stage for a musky warmth, which then gives way to a base of rich woods and subtle spice. This blend creates a sense of comfort and confidence, making it suitable for both women and men.
Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points — the warmth of this fragrance builds on skin over time. It pairs well with cool weather but can also be worn year-round for its comforting presence.
