For those who can’t leave home without us, Le Labo offers an extensive range of travel-sized perfumes, protective cases, and curated sets designed for the discerning traveler.

Le Labo Travel Tubes: The Ultimate Portable Solution
Metal Travel Tube Case
Can’t leave home without us? We know how hard the separation can be, so we’ve created a vintage, metal Le Labo travel tube to protect your 10ml spray. This ingenious solution addresses every traveler’s nightmare: broken perfume bottles and confiscated fragrances at security checkpoints.
The travel tube features:
- Premium construction: Heavy-duty metal design for maximum protection
- Personalization options: Engrave your initials for a bespoke touch
- Compact design: Fits perfectly in carry-on bags and purses
- Refillable system: Compatible with multiple Le Labo fragrances
Travel Tube Refill Sets
Refill your travel tube with the fragrance(s) of your choice available in 3 x 10ml (0.33 FL.OZ.) spray bottles. This innovative system allows you to switch between fragrances or carry multiple scents for different occasions during your trip.
Popular refill options include:
- Santal 33: The iconic woody fragrance
- Another 13: Minimalist musk blend
- Neroli 36: Sophisticated floral
- Rose 31: Modern rose interpretation
TSA and International Travel Regulations
Understanding the 3-1-1 Rule
You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag and through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item.
Le Labo’s 10ml travel tubes comply perfectly with these regulations, measuring just 0.33 FL.OZ., well under the 3.4-ounce limit. This ensures smooth passage through security checkpoints worldwide.
International Considerations
When traveling internationally, make sure to check the duty-free allowances of your destination country, as some countries have stricter rules. Le Labo’s compact travel sizes minimize these concerns while maximizing your fragrance options.
Pro Travel Tips:
- Pack travel tubes in clear, zippered bags for easy security screening
- Keep original packaging for international customs
- Consider travel insurance for valuable perfume collections
- Research destination-specific fragrance restrictions
