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.
