love...le...labo

I was in the Nolita area

on Elizabeth street.

this caught my eye.

{LE LABO}

It is a 5' perfume atomizer.

You push the lever and a

spray of perfume comes out

onto a strip of paper, that you 

hold under the lever.

That is 

very cool.

Interactive marketing

on the street!

I have been in the very sterile overpriced

overcrowed Soho for a week and a half

When I found this. 

 {Even my inspiring Free People store...

 has gone glitz. 

Silver, rhinestone and sequins

for their display, yuck! I don't get it.}

So...this seemed fresh, organic

natural, an updated yet homey

apothecary store.

Stephanie was very kind to let me

take pictures.  

I love the old metal carts...tin wall

There are just a few scents to pick from

you choose what you like and they mix

it and bottle it for you.  I think this

is all just for show...but I love the show.

She went to her handy Mac...and printed

up my custom label.   

Here is my perfume.

LABDANUM18.

They have a store in LA.

and... are in Barney's

But it is understated

Yet...

Expensive.

This little bottle

was 

$50.00

for 0.05 ounces.

But.. I love it.

It is the only thing I have bought.

I already use the box for something

else and I love the perfume.

I still feel like I discovered them.

Off the beaten path....

in NY.
