Perfumerie Le Labo on West 3rd Street has some new window signage, warning "All Persons Must Take Shower With Hot Water and Soap Before Entering Le Labo." Is the scent-centric retailer trying to ward off all three or so encroaching homeless in the neighborhood? Or those stinky post-yoga people who linger and browse before going home? The sign is repurposed, like a number of elements in the shop—"Le Labo" in the place of something. Any guesses? [RackedWire]
