Editorial Review for Marie Mason Apothecary – by Kim Cooper
In Short
In her first solo venture, Fred Segal buyer Mason curates a charming selection of hard-to-find makeups, toiletries and scents, including Australian, Napoleon Perdis cosmetics, Me! bath shower sherbets and lotions from Hannibal Lecter's favorite medieval Florentine pharmacy. The bright white cubic space is feminine and sassy, with a railed library ladder and a real scooter in the window. A specialty is hand-blended, personalized scents, created on the spot at private parties or in the shop.

By far the most captivating store stocked full of the most enticing, ravishing products from around the world! The Apothe-carers are indeed enthused & fantastic at hand selecting gifts for the fabulous with a few short adjectives and are very generous in finding the perfect thing for you! The shelves are stocked full of L'Artisan perfumes, Kate Somerville, Santa Maria Novella, Lladro, Douglas Little, Serge Lutan perfumes, toothpastes from Europe, 100% Percent Pure, Napeleon Perdis makeup, Diptyque candles & perfumes. The only problem is there's too much variety, especially in lip balms and glosses! Every woman must have... the very best deodorant "Real Purity", Diana B. black fig body scrub, Diana B's chocolate tanning mousse (it's extraordinary), Kai Body Butter, diffusers from Antica Farmistica in the most incredible scents, never-to-many Diptyque candles, Loree Rodkin's "Gothic" scent, and of course, Revitalash! Just take a glance at Marie's lashes... you'll be amazed! They even stock great goods for men and babies! Stop by Marie's... they'll really make you feel like a star! P.S. Don't forget to custom blend your very own perfume! Be sure to go on a Monday tho!
Pros: You have to see for yourself!
Cons: The Parking Attendants!

I went to Marie Mason to buy lotion a while back and recieved the SNOTTIEST, SNOTTIEST service ever from this stuffy, brunett middle aged witch. . I couldn't believe how RUDE the sales girl was when I asked where the item was from the moment I walked in. She said and I quote" The lotion you're looking for is over here... RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE!" After that remak I should have just left but I really needed the needed the item. The store is nothing but a little make up/ soap shop conveniently located in the Brentwood Mart. It's small and very over riced. I should have just gone to a different store to get the item for the correct price. I think I paid $20.00 over the dumb bottle.
Cons: at the brentwood country mart
