Lukey Lukey’s Five Best Places to Shop Beauty in Paris
- Online Beauty – Laconicum
“Laconicum is the beauty and wellness e-commerce for beauty-freaks and neophytes.
Here is our official and formal definition. We invented Laconicum because Laconicum didn’t exist. We travelled, snooped around, bought cosmetics and shared our discoveries. We are cosmetic detectives. We went to Kyoto and brought back species that looked like spring water. When we went to Stockholm, we admired their beautiful Swedish manes. And every time we came back, we told each other everything.
Our brands are hard to find in France. We are demanding judges and we choose them scrupulously. We support cosmetics that are inspiring, honest and with a touch of madness. With us, you will find independent, iconic, surprising and daring brands.”
