Baie 19

Baie 19, inspired by Le Labo Baie 19 (2019)

Baie 19 is Le Labo's take on petrichor, the smell of earth when rain falls after a dry spell. Juniper berry gives a resinous, gin-like dryness, green leaves add sap, and patchouli brings the soil. Over all of it sits a damp, stony freshness, so the effect is closer to a wet garden path than to a cologne.

About the original

Le Labo launched Baie 19 in autumn 2019 as part of its Classic Collection. The brand built it around the idea of rain and has joked that it could have been called 'Water 19'. Launch coverage also listed ambroxan, cade and musk alongside the official notes. It is a different scent from Baie Rose 26, a Chicago city exclusive from 2010.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Le Labo stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

It makes most sense to people who enjoy green, mineral scents with an earthy undertone. There is no sweetness and very little floral character, which some will find austere.

Notes of the original fragrance, as published by the brand.

Notes: Juniper Berry, Patchouli, Green Leaves

The start is dry and aromatic, with juniper berry and crushed green leaves.

A watery, mineral note then spreads through it, the petrichor effect the scent is built around.

Patchouli anchors the base, earthy rather than sweet, with the damp freshness still hanging over it.

Is Baie 19 the same as Baie Rose 26?

No. Baie 19 is a 2019 Classic Collection scent built on juniper and petrichor; Baie Rose 26 is a separate 2010 Chicago city exclusive.

What is petrichor?

The smell of earth after rain following dry weather. Baie 19 recreates it with a wet, mineral note over juniper and patchouli.
