The story behind the bottle.
Colette 25 by Le Labo is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that launched in 2017 and was crafted by Frank Voelkl. The composition opens with bright citrus notes that cut through the richness of its powdery, musky base, anchored by warm amber and iris. This interplay between freshness and depth creates a scent that feels both modern and lasting — an echo of Le Labo's dedication to redefining elegance without resorting to traditional tropes.
Apply two sprays for a balanced experience — the bright top notes will fade within an hour, but the base notes will linger and evolve throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
