As I’m greeted by Marie Mason herself, a recognized fragrance expert – she was the buyer at legendary Fred Segal Beauty for many years - I feel a sense of well-being… turquoise-painted walls (“walls” ou “ceiling” (voire plus loin) ?), shiny white shelves and the impressive central elk-antler chandelier… divine!
Now what sets this beauty spot apart? A mix of Marie Mason’s expert brand choices of the most classic elixirs – yes, she carries Fracas – and exclusive fragrance lines such as L’Artisan Parfumeur, Santa Maria Novella, Tocca with harder-to-find cult L.A. based lines. All my favs are here: Sage, Loree Rodkin, Ebba Los Angeles, Kai as well as girly glam scents from Monyette Paris, Pilar and Lucy… I could go on and on!
…it has a scent, it’s hard-to-find, exclusive, cult? If Marie likes it, she’ll carry it!
Oh and the fun part, Marie Mason will custom blend scents for you, on the spot, behind her fragrance oil bar. She’ll even come to your home and set up a fragrance blend party… for your girlfriend’s baby shower, for a wedding… she loves experimenting, and will do it with you… just start smelling!

Monyette Paris is a cult L.A. brand, adored by celebs like Cameron Diaz, Denise Richards, Elle McPherson… need I go on?
Oh yes, it was voted Top 5 Cult Fragrance by Style.com, and if you want celeb proof, just flip through your Wallpaper magazine, Elle, InStyle, Vogue, US Weekly etc.
This tropical white floral gardenia note, created by local perfumer Tristan Brando, surfs the Californian wave of Gardenia cult scents like Kai, except it won’t take you to Hawaii, but to the French Polynesia islands… Monyette Paris is a huge L.A success, starting out as a small start-up brand and is now sold across the US…
