Le Labo

Shaw

In both its design and its products, the first D.C. brick-and-mortar location of this French-influenced New York perfumerie reflects the cool, indie vibe of the Shaw neighborhood. Preferring "soulful fragrances" to everyday perfumes, Le Labo's manifesto is to create luxurious, handcrafted, non-animal-tested scents for "passionate souls." Visit this unique shop, and take a whiff of bestsellers like Santal 33, Rose 31, Bergemote 22, and Thé Noir 29.
