French Lavender + Aged Bourbon | The WanderLab Co.

The Destination: Rue Bourbon™
Step into the storied atmosphere of New Orleans’ most iconic thoroughfare. Rue Bourbon captures the electric, multisensory soul of the Vieux Carré—where the elegance of blooming southern gardens meets the indulgent, late-night spirit of a historic jazz hall. This fragrance is a sophisticated, gender-neutral blend that balances a bright, European floral opening with a deep, boozy warmth. It is a tribute to the "Big Easy": decadent, mysterious, and effortlessly soulful.

The Scent Profile: Lab-Crafted Notes

  • Top: Sophisticated French Lavender and Lemon Crème for a bright, indulgent opening.
  • Middle: Lush Southern Magnolia and resinous Labdanum for a complex, floral heart.
  • Base: Aged Bourbon, Vanilla, and Musk for a grounded, spirited, and long-lasting anchor.

The WanderLab Edge: Originality

Our artisan-grade oils are high-performance, undiluted fragrances engineered to optimize stability and excellence across professional applications:

  • Candle Performance: Developed for superior hot and cold throw potential in soy, coconut, and paraffin waxes.

  • Home Fragrance: Evaluated for suitability in high-end room sprays, reed diffusers, and home applications.
    *Always consult the specific IFRA certificate for maximum skin-safe usage percentages before manufacturing. Final product performance depends heavily on the maker’s specific ingredients, equipment, and manufacturing methods; small-scale batch testing of all finished applications is highly recommended before commercial production. The WanderLab Co. disclaims any liability for finished products manufactured using our raw materials.

This is such a unique fragrance and does exception on hot throw in candles

I mixed Rue Bourbon with Woodstock in NS55 wax. The men kept commenting how much they loved the candle. In fact, a couple dispute almost took place at my booth because the husband wanted the candle made with this blend and his wife chose another one.

Absolutely spectacular depth. The citrus crème and French lavender add an intoxicating velvet texture to the dark, aged wood notes, making the whole room smell incredibly exclusive.

This one completely caught me off guard in the best way. It has depth, richness, warmth, and sophistication without leaning overly sweet or candle-store generic. It smells expensive. There’s something incredibly composed about it, and the balance is just unreal. What I’m enjoying most with these oils is that they don’t smell overly manufactured or predictable. They smell like places, environments, and experiences. This is one of my faves I've tested from the line so far.

The smell was great out of the bottle. But after trying 3 waxes and different wicks, I'm not getting a good cold or hot throw. I'm sure I just haven't found the right recipe yet.

Trying to find great bourbon scent is like trying to track down Sasquatch or the elusive chupacabra….impossible to the point of you questioning its very existence…until NOW! This is such an incredible bourbon, so smooth and inviting, not harsh or sharp at all! Not super vanilla leaning either. Thank you for offering such a special bourbon fragrance 😍

New favorite! This scent I could smell every day, it’s that good! I used 9% in my soy coconut blend wax.
