For the cost of this line, I expect more. This is probably my least favorite thus far, and smells of screechy powder and plastic. The stillage does have a resemblance to Shalimar, which I do not enjo...Read more

I didn't know this was by Maurice Roucel when I bought it, but wasn't surprised to discover it later--M. Roucel's magic always draws me in. On me, Labdanum opens with a creamy amber richness and dries...Read more

Love this scent. It's expensive, but I only wear it on special occasions. It's very, very sexy and strong. I smell myself (inadvertently) constantly when I wear this. For some this fragrance is very o...Read more

A rich, slightly green resin. Warm and slightly powdery in a texture way, not powder as a scent. Almost opoponax in the light warm powder edge. Very nice.

The first 30 minutes after initial application, this perfume smelled on me, like cat pee. Like urine... but covered up with powderiness. However, the second time I tried it, the initial smell was ju...Read more

I smell a warm, dusty, faintly sweet vanilla, powder, and . . . cabbage, unfortunately. The "cabbage accord" is, I think, how my mind registers the profusion of powder (and there's quite a bit), but I...Read more

Maurice Roucel is a genius, and though I don't think that Labdanum 18 is his best fragrance, I do think it's a great example of how awesome he is. Yes, this fragrance has some similarities to Musc Rav...Read more

Labdanum 18 (formerly "Ciste 18") I ordered this one mostly due to the review I had seen on YouTube. I was craving the Rose 31 for a couple of years now, but when I saw the review, I did not resist. ...Read more

I find this to be one of the longer lasting scents of this line, yet it is soft and close to the skin. Initially there are top notes of a clean, white musk, powder, almond and heliotrope. Then a delic...Read more

Simply put, Le Labo's Labdanum 18 smells like an expensive sweet-ish amber baby powder from top note to base note. It is is similar smell-wise Houbigant's Quelques Fleurs and just as horribly cloying...Read more

Warm and musky, as everyone says--sweet too. I get root beer in the early stages; and the drydown is particularly alluring, with pipe tobacco emerging. Quite pleasant and cozy, BUT where is the labdan...Read more

This smelled dated to me, not like the cutting edge fragrance I expected. I am so surprised.

Yes, this is Musc Ravageur Redux. I don't care. It wears beautifully and elicits deliriously sincere compliments from women and men alike. Don't expect a big hit of labdanum; this is a warm skin mu...Read more

Like Supermarky below, I do find this similar to Musc Ravageur. Unlike Supermarky, I'm loving it. Like all Le Labo perfumes I have tested, this is understated. It's just a hint of ... what exactly? No...Read more

This sparks an erotic interest at first, then morphs into a clean Baby Magic baby oil lotion. It has an astringent end note similar to Creative Universe Mare and NK Beach. Well at least I understand n...Read more

So you think Musc Ravageur is the sexiest musc you have tried? And you think you like the vanillic and animalic dry down of Musc Ravageur, but you are not a fan of the opening or think it could be bet...Read more

This is now called Labdanum 18. This, to my nose, smells very close to the spicy, dirty, vanillic drydown in FM's Musc Ravageur. It's a terrific scent, very sensual and slightly animalic, and that is ...Read more
