Le Labo’s Next Stop: Beijing

A glimpse of Beijing, in a bottle.

Shiu 25 is the latest addition to Le Labo’s City Exclusive range of fragrances, meticulously crafted within the Beijing He Yuan Fragrance Lab (北京·合院香氛实验室) in the heart of the city’s Wang Fu Central. The lab is housed within a culturally protected site, adding another layer of history to the fragrance’s Beijing roots.

Shiu 25 captures the essence of Beijing’s quiet corners and spaces where traditional craftsmanship thrive — a tribute to quiet, peaceful spaces where people can slow down, reflect and reconnect with themselves.

Derived from the Ho Tree, the fragrance is subtle yet understated, encapsulating the sense of balance and inner peace. Where light iris and olibanum meet warm, woody layers giving the fragrance an almost weightless quality, while keeping it firmly grounded.

And with each passing September, the City Exclusives (including the Shiun 25) are available for purchase outside their origin cities. So, no need to pack a luggage, consider this a little piece of Beijing for your fragrance shelf.
