Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by Le Labo and created by perfumer Annick Ménardo, Gaiac 10 unfolds as a contemplative journey through sacred woods and smoky resins. The fragrance's core is built around frankincense and guaiac wood, creating an almost meditative experience that is further grounded by the earthy warmth of leather and cedar. It whispers rather than shouts—intelligent, restrained, and profoundly sensual, revealing new facets with each hour on skin.
Apply two sprays to ensure a moderate sillage and longevity. The frankincense and guaiac wood notes will develop over time, so let it settle into your skin for at least an hour before fully enjoying its depth.
