This episode explores Le Labo GAIAC 10, the Tokyo City Exclusive composed by Annick Menardo. It reads the fragrance through guaiac wood, four musks, cedar, and olibanum, while explaining that it behaves more like a linear skin scent than a dramatic pyramid. The episode also covers Le Labo's lab-like retail ritual, the City Exclusive model, comparisons with Santal 33, Another 13, and Bvlgari Pour Homme, and why its quiet projection is both its weakness and its design.
