Perfume of the week
Le Labo’s Gaiac 10.
While at Sniffa earlier this Fall, I was on a mission to go to Le Labo. I had to choose between going to the newly renovated Diptyque or missing a good chunk of the Sephora Sensorium just so I could make it to this store!

MiN New York
This is no regular boutique. Completely different from anything you’ve ever seen because the products sold here are authentic, not the easiest to find in some cases, and quality is number one.
