About Le Labo: Hinoki (U) Type
What is the difference between the old edition and new edition oils?
The original manufacturer of some of our oils raised their prices by a large amount recently but we were able to find oils that are the same or better quality from different manufacturers.
We added these same oils from the new manufacturer at lower prices, and kept the original higher priced oils also with the words “OLD EDITION” added to the title of the oil.
Some customers like the new editions better, and other people like the old edition oil most. The strength and quality is the same, but there may be subtle differences in the scent.
We offer both so that you can choose the one that is best for you.
This fragrance oil captures the mystical, serene, and deeply grounding spirit of the Hinoki profile by Le Labo. It is built on a clean, minimal, and authentic blend of native Japanese hinoki wood, fresh cedar, and deep pine, mimicking the soothing, meditative atmosphere of a sun-warmed Buddhist temple hidden deep in an old-growth forest.
What are the notes?
- Top Notes: Fresh Pine, Ozone
- Heart Notes: Japanese Hinoki Wood, Cypress

Who is it for?
- This scent is crafted for individuals who love ultra-clean, minimalist, and authentic woody or balsamic fragrances. It appeals directly to fans of non-perfumey, gender-neutral, and calming spa-like profiles that emphasize raw, natural botanical depth over sweetness.
When do I use it?
- A perfect choice for creating highly versatile, year-round self-care and wellness product ranges. Its grounding and deeply relaxing profile makes it ideal for luxury hair oils, purifying body washes, soothing bath salts, beard balms, and clean daily perfumes. It performs spectacularly as a home fragrance option, crafting meditative candles, wax melts, and room sprays that instantly turn a room into a peaceful, rustic sanctuary.
