For one month only, the Maison\u2019s City Exclusive Collection leaves its respective hometowns, bringing together scents that are otherwise reserved for the cities that inspired them. From Tokyo to Paris, Seoul to Shanghai, each fragrance offers its own olfactory interpretation of place.<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-10  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative  bg-stone overflow-hidden\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1000\/750\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY26-Q2_CE_S25_100ml_4x3.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1024px) 960px, 100vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY26-Q2_CE_S25_100ml_4x3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY26-Q2_CE_S25_100ml_4x3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY26-Q2_CE_S25_100ml_4x3-768x576.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This September, Le Labo\u2019s City Exclusives return worldwide, joined by SHIU 25, a new fragrance inspired by Beijing\u2019s traditional spaces.<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, the journey leads to Beijing with SHIU 25, Le Labo\u2019s newest City Exclusive. But this is not a straightforward interpretation of the city you might expect. Rather than capturing Beijing through its most familiar sights and associations, SHIU 25 looks inward, drawing inspiration from the city\u2019s traditional spaces of artisanship, quiet courtyards and hidden gardens. It is an ode to stillness and contemplation, reflecting the sense of pause found within these historic spaces.<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-10  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative  bg-stone overflow-hidden\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1000\/750\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY27-Q1_CE26_S25_100ml_Crate_4x3.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1024px) 960px, 100vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY27-Q1_CE26_S25_100ml_Crate_4x3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY27-Q1_CE26_S25_100ml_Crate_4x3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY27-Q1_CE26_S25_100ml_Crate_4x3-768x576.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At its heart is shiu, the Ho tree, chosen for its quieter expression and association with balance and inner peace. Ethereal iris and olibanum lend the composition a sense of airiness, while warm woods ground the fragrance with a softer, more enveloping character. It\u2019s a less a literal portrait of Beijing than an impression of its quieter side\u2014centred, introspective and deeply atmospheric.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new fragrance also finds a fitting home at Le Labo\u2019s Beijing He Yuan Fragrance Lab, housed within a historic, culturally protected site and inspired by traditional Siheyuan architecture. The space itself is designed as an invitation to pause and immerse in sensory discovery, making it a natural setting for SHIU 25.<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-10  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative  bg-stone overflow-hidden\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1000\/750\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY26-Q2_CE_S25_50ml_Shelf_Stamp_4x3.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1024px) 960px, 100vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY26-Q2_CE_S25_50ml_Shelf_Stamp_4x3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY26-Q2_CE_S25_50ml_Shelf_Stamp_4x3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FY26-Q2_CE_S25_50ml_Shelf_Stamp_4x3-768x576.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From September 1 to 30, SHIU 25 will join the full City Exclusive collection, with all 19 fragrances available worldwide for the month.
