Description
Product Development Coordinator, Le Labo
ABOUT LE LABO:
Le Labo is a niche perfume company, born in Grasse and raised in New York City. We sparked a revolution ten years ago and today, we remain unconventional in the luxury perfume market. Every fragrance is freshly hand-blended and each label is personalized on-site, at the moment of purchase. Mindful in everything we do – from fragrance creations to where we choose to open a new boutique – our primary mission is to share the beauty of our craft with the world. It is more than just product; Le Labo offers sensorial experiences, memories and a point of view. It is a lifestyle.
Our distribution is intentionally selective with only 30 lab-boutiques worldwide and limited counters within a curated selection of retail partners. Our global office is based in Williamsburg, New York and our European office is based in Shoreditch, London. We are also a recent addition to the Estée Lauder family.
