Benjoin 19, Le Labo's Moscow city exclusive, is about a moment. A moment depicted by one of the most important writers of all time, Leo Tolstoy, in the eternal Anna Karenina, when Anna meets Count Vronsky in a Moscow train station. Benjoin 19 is that moment, the moment when everything changes, when your life topples over, when nothing will ever be the same. In Tolstoy's masterpiece, this happens in Moscow yet what makes Anna Karenina a work of art is its universality: it could have happened anywhere. This is what Benjoin 19 is - a universal tribute to passionate spirits, to those determined to live their lives on their own terms.
Like the novel, Benjoin 19 is a mosaic of intertwined stories centered around benzoin (olibanum, amber, cedar, musks, ...) that transmits a deep and powerful experience of sensuality and rebelliousness. Benjoin 19 is a comforting blend of resins, soft incense, warm balsamic undertones, never overwhelming but truly addicting. In short, Benjoin 19 is easy to love.
And yes, like its printed counterpart (928 pages in its original version), Benjoin 19 is incredibly long-lasting!
Olibanum, amber, cedar, musks, benzoin, and more...
