imo Abbot Kinney has the best lineup of fragrance stores. in order of north to south:
Strange Invisible: artisanal, botanical, bewitching
Le Labo: minimalist luxury, cult-favorite
D.S. & DURGA: story-driven fragrances as if they bottled up oddly specific memories (my fav, look at the flowers!!)
Aesop: cerebral, clean like an extension of skincare
