About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At precisely 3 AM every night, a mysterious voice would announce over The Cosmetics Company’s intercom: ‘Your beauty sleep is interrupted by the newest skincare breakthrough!’ Everyone knew it was just the delivery driver having fun, but no one could resist laughing. One night, a delivery driver decided to up the ante. As he pressed the intercom button, he whispered, ‘And don’t forget to apply our new anti-wrinkle serum before bed.’ Everyone in the building burst out laughing—except for an old lady who started applying her creams with renewed vigor. The next morning, she proudly announced, ‘I feel like I’m glowing brighter than ever!’

2. At dawn, when most beauty salons are still closing up, an old lady arrived at The Cosmetics Company. She never said a word and left without any products. But soon everyone noticed her shadowy figure lingering outside after hours. One day, a delivery driver saw her leaving with a box full of empty bottles. ‘Ma’am,’ he asked curiously, ‘what’s in these?’ She smiled mysteriously, replying, ‘Just my secret recipe for eternal youth!’ Everyone laughed, but nobody dared ask again.

3. At midnight, every Tuesday and Thursday, a soft tinkling sound could be heard coming from behind the closed doors of The Cosmetics Company. Curious neighbors peered through windows but never caught anyone leaving. One day, an eager delivery driver arrived just as the sounds started. Thinking it was his package chiming, he knocked on the door. To his surprise, nothing happened—except that the noise stopped. Confused, he waited for several minutes, then decided to leave. As soon as he drove away, the tinkling resumed.

4. At lunchtime, when employees were settling down for their afternoon break, a faint scent of fresh-baked cookies wafted through the halls of The Cosmetics Company. No oven was in sight, but the smell grew stronger each day. One day, an elderly delivery driver arrived with a mysterious box. He whispered that it contained ‘the secret ingredient.’ Soon after, everyone started feeling unusually cheerful—even the usually grumpy accountant hummed along to his favorite tunes. It turned out the cookies were just from a friendly neighborhood bakery, but the legend of The Cosmetics Company’s magical treats lived on.
