Edouard and Fabrice concoct exclusive scents in their laboratory, which are then personalised in their stores worldwide. “Our neighbourhood really inspires us. We’re fighting to preserve its identity, by supporting the local garden, for example,” explains Fabrice. “That’s why we appreciate what Le Pigalle is doing. We can really relate to the creative team’s spirit of independence.” Shower gel, soap, lotion: Le Labo sets the tone for the amenities in Le Pigalle’s bedrooms. “We love the ideathat Le Pigalle has chosen Le Labo. I’m delighted it’s bringing back some of the neighbourhood’s old fun, provocation and creativity. Thirty years ago, those were really Parisian ideas. It’s great to seethat there’s still a place for all that!” continues Fabrice, unable to stifle a grin.
