Very helpful Review

interesting
I was never a fan of Le Labo, but now, slowly I start to like some of their scents. Even Santal 33 no longer smells like sour cucumber water with dill, but quite herbaceous and pleasant.
Anyway, back to Baie 19, when I first tried it, the lady from Le Labo warned me to be careful because the scent can be very weird and unpleasant. I must say that for me Baie 19 smells unusual and interesting but not bad at all. It may be that I am influenced at my current love for green I love it mostly in the cool and damp autumn days.
For me the smells:
a) like damp earth, with crushed tree leaves and grass/herb roots. It reminds me of my childhood where I often had to help in the garden. Not the most exciting thing as a child, but now as an adult this smell brings me a kind of melancholy. It's like a mixture of garden wet earth smell and forest in autumn.
I'm not a big fan of patchouli except for the patchouli here and in Bianchi's Sticky Fingers. I'm also not a big fan of the real petrichor (smell after the rain) but Baie 19 to me smells excellent.
b) Sometimes when outside is warmer, I perceive it as very dry...like rain in the city...on the concrete/cement after a very dry week.
In my opinion, this is a very interesting scent that is not liked by everyone but what is good about it is that not many would wear the scent and so you/ I can smell more unique.
