For 11 months a year, Le Labo City Exclusives usually require that you live in that city or else you will need to find a scent mule or take a trip to obtain. Once a year, Le Labo offers every scent to anyone who wants to buy them.
One of my favorites was Aldehyde 44 (Dallas) composed by Yann Vasnier in 2006, which was discontinued in 2013. Le Labo resurrected it for 2017. Also in 2017 Mousse de Chêne (Amsterdam) debuted and is composed by Daphne Bugey. All are currently available as samples ($12/1.5 ml sprayers) and there is a discovery kit (11×1.5 ml/$120); bottles will be on sale as of September 1-September 30. The City Exclusives are:
Mousse De Chêne 30 (Amsterdam) Daphne Bugey
