Transcript: Personally, I love deep, animally fragrances, so Labdanum 18 by Le Labo is right up my furry alley. When I first encountered it, I had the image of a giant, Godzilla-sized baby rampaging through the city, destroying all in its path with warfare-grade talcum powder. This is the labdanum talking. Labdanum is the resin from a shrub called rockrose. The smell is tantalizing: sweet, smoky and leathery. You might know it from Prada eau de parfum and Tom Ford's Amber Absolute. In Labdanum 18, the animal aspects of the resin are played up with musk, civet and castoreum, known to their friends as deer butt, cat butt and beaver butt, respectively. Once the zoo joins the party, this eau de parfum becomes dangerous and sexy. This one isn't loud, but it's lethal. Its sensuality hovers just above the skin, and it lasts forever. Intriguingly, the longer it's on, the fresher it becomes. Labdanum 18 goes on dirty, dries down clean. And that's when I spray on more and get dirty all over again. Im Katie Puckrik, and I smell.
