Beauty, Cosmetics & Personal Care Reputation: Le Labo Fragrances (lelabofragrances.com)
Le Labo successfully replaces traditional corporate BS with a highly curated brand ‘mythos’ that is surprisingly grounded in specific material sourcing.

The site's avoidance of trust theatre (review widgets and award logos) significantly lowered the score.”
