Beyond its beautiful architecture, impeccable fashion and infectious romance, the City of Lights has also been the home to old perfume houses that have been around for hundreds of years. Apart from the usual big names we are so familiar with, such as Chanel and Dior, Paris also has a rich history in perfumery, which makes it appealing to industry experts and discerning fans. From storied fragrance houses like Guerlain to small, niche brands like Ex Nihilo and everything in between, here are the best perfume stores in Paris to visit when you find yourself in the French capital.
Nose Boutique
Just as its name suggests, Nose Boutique is definitely one of the must-visits in Paris if you call yourself a fragrance fan. Stocking under-the-radar brands from all over the world like Floris, Pierre Guillaume and Keiko Mecheri, it is one of the best places to discover new niche fragrance brands you’ve never even heard of.
Set aside at least a couple of hours if you don’t want to rush through the scents as the array available here is nothing short of impressive. Plus, you probably won’t find someone else who will be wearing the same scent as you back home. And don’t forget to check out the expertly curated selection of skincare brands as well.
