Unlike the bright, white, sterile spaces multi-national cosmetics companies traditionally operate from, Le Labo offers a unique collection of perfumes and candles created in partnership with some of the world best perfumers. The creations are made in front of you and the labels personalized with the name of your choice.

One’s could be forgiven for thinking this is just another large food retailer cashing in on the demand for organic produce (think Whole Foods), but it’s actually a cashless (credit and bank cards only) collective farmers market.
It’s about Curation… putting together selected items to solve people’s problems.
