My friend and I had an amazingly special time here creating our own perfumes in this lovely shop…read morewhere they are curating your own scents! They take down information on your preferred scents - things you like, don't like (ie floral, tropical, woodsy, spicy etc) and will come up with "mystery" ingredients for you to smell. What's amazing is when you discover things that you didn't think you liked blending so well with new ingredients (a surprise for me was pink peppercorn and blueberry!). Interestingly you learn whether your skin is absorptive basal or acidic as certain ingredients will smell differently on your skin once applied. They suggest you also dab versus rub into your skin and also go outside to see if the scent changes in the air a few minutes in. I found that my skin was absorptive which actually impacted the amounts of ingredients that they put in my unique scent. Also they will keep your formula on file so if you want to reorder or even get a lotion or a candle, you can contact them directly. This was a blast of an afternoon and I loved it! Would definitely do this again!

This location has everything, including the Rhode skincare by Hailey Bibe (my go-to Sephora location in the Culver City mall does not carry it. The salespeople are great here, especially Govani and Alexis, who checked me out herself instead of letting me stand in the long line! Thank you Alexis ! Here is my Sephora haul purchased here on Feb 21, 2026, at the BURBANK EMPIRE CENTER: Nars: afterglow liquid blush (not primed enough, may return it), and the Laguna powder bronzer Makeup Forever: Lip liners in shades of wherever walnut, daring candy, dramatic plum, sassy Rhubarb. Also, i purchased the Too Faced mascara (better than sex mascara), 2 travel-sized perfumes: The 7 Virtues Buttercream Haze, and the Klian Paris Love, Don't be shy. Also decided to buy and try the Patrick Ta Dual-ended blush brush, and lastly the Huas Labs liquid eyeliner.

There were a group of 4 Sephora employees in their black outfits a few feet from me having a big chat. 3 times I looked over at them and they definitely saw me but no one came over to ask if I needed help. One other employee came up to me to give me a basked to hold my items while I shopped. That was it. So I spent $100 and chose the shades that I hope will work for m. Customer service there is sorely lacking.

The hype is…read morereal you guys - Joe was pleasant, knowledgeable, and offered samples based on your note(s) preferences. He carried various designer as well as some niche brands. Joe helped me sample through several bottles and I felt like he genuinely wanted me to find something I liked. He kindly offered me a sample to take home as I wanted to smell and experience the dry down. Not even 30 minutes later, my boyfriend and I turned the car around to purchase the full bottle. I am so happy with my purchase and experience at D'or Perfumes! I hope to visit Joe's other store, D'or Prestige, as I grow my perfume collection.

Told the perfume had to "set up" for about a month before I could pick up or she could mail it to me. She sent me the invoice and I paid right away 198.00. About 3 weeks later set up another phone consult to tie down her mailing to me. She sent me a message that she was sick and had to reschedule. Since then I've sent over 30 emails, 2 Messages on Instagram, tried calling the business # and no response at all. This is horrible customer service!

D.S. & Durga is fragrance brand out of Brooklyn, with lots of fragrances (or as they refer to them,…read more"fumes" -- *oof*) that smell half-finished at prices easily at least double what anyone should realistically pay. I'd wager real money that they come up with their names and elaborate concepts first. ("Burning Barbershop," "Mississippi Medicine," and "Steamed Rainbow" are some of the most eye roll-worthy.) Nothing made me want to reach for my wallet, not when a small 50 mL bottle starts at $210 (more for collaborations and limited editions), and full-size 100 mL begin at $300. The candles -- "'85 Diesel," "Tomb of the Eagles," and "Rama Won't You Please Come Home" are some of the befuddling names here -- smell first and foremost of wax; determining how they will smell in one's home is a crapshoot. D.S. & Durga is owned by the stealth beauty conglomerate Manzanita Capital, which also owns Malin+Goetz and Diptyque, two brands that know how to make good candles, so I'm flummoxed as to why D.S. & Durga's $75 candles smell so flat and pallid on the shelf. The staff was friendly and helpful without being obtrusive, just what this sort of store's staff should be. Manzanita brands consistently have great sales associates, and D.S. & Durga is no exception. Like the fairly similar Byredo several blocks west, the primary product at D.S. & Durga seems to be more hip-cool-youth-vibe-quirky-funky-whatever than anything in the actual bottle or jar. And hey, a lot of boutiques in Silver Lake and Echo Park do a brisk business in selling hip-cool-youth-vibe-quirky-funky-whatever. I'm just not really in the market for hip-cool-youth-vibe-quirky-funky-whatever these days -- and certainly not starting at $210 for the small size.

My husband and I felt completely ignored, like we were an afterthought for simply wanting to sample scents. I felt a bit of classism with our lack of assistance, but that might be my own projection. When I finally asked someone to grab the perfume I wanted, the employee who helped us was incredibly rude. I'm not sure if this is an issue with Sephora in general or just this Studio City location, but I genuinely regret spending my money here. I only didn't give one star because the fragrance selection itself was nice.
