Best place to smell pretty

RR#1

OK, so there are plenty of places in Chicago to buy funky toilet brands to purty you up. But what makes this Wicker Park boutique so hip? It's the location, of course, set up in an old apothecary, giving a more serious feel to products like rose lip balm and perfume oils, more often sold in stores with booming music and sullen-faced kids. Perfect for picking up gifts, trying on samples, and pretending that you're in an Italian Farmacia.
