Le Labo (1138 1/2 Abbot Kinney Blvd): Le Labo’s founders set out to create exceptional fragrances that cause a sensory “shock” as soon as you open the bottle. Instead of manufacturing the perfumes in factories like other perfume companies, each of the ten fragrances are lovingly formulated by hand in its exclusive New York perfumery lab — and you can really tell the difference. The scents at Le Labo are truly unique — we’ve never smelled anything quite like them. We’re also kind of obsessed with the design of literally everything at this store…even the candle boxes are beyond chic!
Principessa (1405 Abbot Kinney Blvd): We love peeking at the sale rack here, where you can find designer goods marked at 50% off. The prices vary a lot (we’re talking $20 to $2,000), but sometimes you can find real steals! We also like to gaze at the House of Harlow jewelry and dream of the day when it, like the winning lotto ticket, will be ours.
