A Fragrant Journey Through Shanghai's Shikumen Alleyways

When avant-garde craftsmanship meets the retro charm of the alleyways, the LE LABO global brand home, "Wulixiang," officially opens in Xintiandi! This fragrance lab, hidden in an old Shikumen house, uses woody notes and industrial style to create a unique "Wulixiang" warmth that belongs to Shanghai. Upon entering the store, I was warmly invited by the staff to wash my hands and try the hand cream, a very comfortable experience. Sharing two of my favorite scents: "Eucalyptus 20" brings a refreshing greenness intertwined with smoky wood, as if being in a forest after the rain. The Shanghai city exclusive "Myrrhe 55" is a warmth that can only be found in this city, a lingering embrace of medicinal fragrance and oriental amber. The exclusive metal tube engraving service and limited-edition tote bag also have a very artistic texture, which you can choose for yourself. Come to the second floor to unlock the coffee experience and space out in the aroma of vanilla and coffee beans. Here, you can also observe the perfumer's workbench and unlock the handmade philosophy behind the perfume. Remember to pick up a map and participate in the "LE LABO Shanghai Fragrance Lab Exploration Journey" to unlock mysterious sample gifts.
