Ever since the fateful day I spritzed myself with a decant of Le Labo’s GAIAC 10…I’ve been OBSESSED. However, even purchasing direct from the House - I couldn’t get the scent to stay. Like at all. Longer than 30 mins - it would be completely gone. I tried everything - the profile just wouldn’t last more than 30 mins on my skin. That is - until I found HK!! This stuff is indistinguishable from the OG, but made STRONG enough to ACTUALLY stay with you throughout the day. What a lovely surprise to get a whiff of gorgeous, smokey Gaiac at the end of a long day. I’ve found my signature - rushing back to get the bigger bottle!!
