    Back in the day, Lbel was an exclusive luxury—expensive and hard to find online—with a scent that didn’t give anything to Dior, perfect for cold nights. I remember an identical version with blue liquid and a silver cap; very sweet and fresh, in the Invictus style, but back then, 15 years ago, that kind of fragrance wasn’t really used anymore. Today, Lbel is back with better quality and at half the price it used to be.

  2. A 10/10 all around: it’s an affordable perfume that stands out and beats many designer scents. It’s unique, and even though I’m on the second bottle, I can’t find anything similar. Being discontinued adds extra value. It opens woody, spicy, and resinous; after 2-3 hours, a subtle and pleasant leather note emerges and lasts until the end. It lasts 6-7 hours on skin and over 12 on clothes.

  3. A perfect 10/10: it’s an affordable perfume that stands out and beats many designer brands. It’s unique, and even though I’m on my second bottle, I can’t find anything similar. Being discontinued only adds to its appeal. It opens with woody, spicy, and resinous notes; after 2-3 hours, a subtle and pleasant leather note emerges that lasts until the very end. It lasts 6-7 hours on skin and over 12 hours on clothes.

  4. Starts with lots of cinnamon and nutmeg. The pine leads into a heart of incense and brandy, while amber closes it out with a leather finish, maybe with labdanum and musk. The opening promised well, but the projection dropped fast and it stayed skin-scent only for 5 or 6 hours. I wore it in the heat by mistake; it’s really for cold weather. It’s discontinued in Mexico now.
