On the left side of the shop you can buy make up products as well as get your make up done (day or night looks). They also carry a number of high-end, unique, and cult-favorite brands to care for your skin, hair, face, lips, and body. Downstairs, there's a private and peaceful cave-like room where they do the facials and full body massages. There's only one bed though, so you can't come with your BFFs to get massages all at the same time. The service, experience, and brands here are special so it's on the pricier side, but would make for a nice treat. You can preview their products and services online. They're quite knowledgeable about all the products but aren't pushy. The owner Juliette is really sweet and also speaks English if, for example, you don't know how to say, "I'm looking for a hair product that will give me a perfect slightly-wet, silky look all the time."

As per my wife, they carry all the product lines versus a neighborhood Sephora location. Most arrondissements throughout Paris have a local version. Super busy. Always crowded.

I'm a big fan of Caudalie, and when I went to the numerous pharmacies in Paris, I quickly realized…read morethat the prices in France are much cheaper than in New York. So early on in my trip, I knew I wanted to stock up on Caudalie items. I decided to get all I need from an actual Caudalie store rather than a pharmacy because I would get points buying straight from Caudalie and it would be easier for me to get VAT refund by buying everything in one place since the overall prices will even out (some items are cheaper in certain pharmacies than the actual Caudalie stores). When I got to the Saint Germain store, I waited a little while because I was told I had to wait for the technician. I figured it's because the technician spoke the most English. It wasn't a big deal to wait and gave me time to do some last minute price checks. When the technician finally came, I basically told her I have a list of items to get. She was super surprised of how organized I was. I had each of the item's name, the US price, the Euro price, and any special offer combos. She was also surprised at the price difference. For example, a bottle of the make up removal oil was around $22USD, it was just 12 Euros at the store. The technician helped me pick out everything on my list and made some recommendations of what I need for my routine. In all, I left with a little over $240 and she threw in handfuls of samples from shower gels to eye creams. She also helped fill out my VAT refund forms. The only bad thing I would say is that I get different advice as far as what I need from various staff. The inconsistency makes it hard to buy the "right" product because I never really know what the right products are! But other than that, I love the Caudalie products and this shopping experience was top notch awesome!

Thankfully, I won't be moving to France anytime soon and the flight is too costly to visit if only to shop. My wallet is so grateful. The difference between Sephora in France and Sephora in Chicago/Chicagoland is huge. For variety, quality and fabulous samples, you've got to go to Paris. Buy a tube of YSL gloss, and they give you a nice size YSL gloss in a brand spanking new color they haven't quite promoted. Samples at Sephora Paris today are the generous size I remember my mom getting when I was like 4. Her sample bag was almost as big as the full size cosmetic items she was buying.

The only negative is that I am in Texas and I cannot actually shop in their beautiful store in person but I have looked at pictures to try to recreate the experience. I am an avid fragrance collector and with that I have made multiple purchases throughout Europe and also the Middle East. Every time I am searching and I find something I want and then I realize it is international I cringe because international shopping can be so difficult sometimes. I can say that Nose has figured it out and my shopping experience all 4 times has been spectacular. Their prices are fabulous and the fact that they include all the taxes and fees is awesome because then you are not left wondering exactly how much extra you will be charged as I still have not figured out how to know exactly the fee you get charged through customs. They have a great selection of fragrances and have some harder to find niche brands. In addition to excelling with pricing and shipping, they also include a large selection of samples that you can pick and depending on how much you spend, you can get other gifts with your purchase also. Lastly and most importantly, their customer service is TOP NOTCH. Not that I have had many problems but like anything in life, there are issues from time to time especially with customs and when I contacted customer service they were super friendly and quickly responsive. Honestly there just are not enough good things I can say. They have become my number one choice for international shopping and they have been so good and spoiled me that I do not want to use anyone else. I hope one day I do get a change to shop there in person but if you are looking for a niche fragrance at a good price, do not hesitate to check out Nose Paris, they are EXCEPTIONAL!

My college age daughter and myself had a wonderful afternoon at Le studio des Parfums. …read more CONFIRMATION: We used their website to book directly rather than a 3rd person group like TripAdvisor, where they promptly confirmed our reservation as well as sent a reminder email (we originally booked with another perfumer via viator but had no contact, no confirmation, no record of activity thus we assumed they never received our reservation...that's another story). Les studios was incredibly professional in handling our reservation. OUR EXPERIENCE : Lola, our "nez", was fabulous. She gave a really interesting detailed explanation as to not only what we were doing but how and why in both French and English as there was another person in our tiny 3 person group who did not speak English. We did not feel rushed or ignored as rated our scents. Lola was also very patient -it took my daughter and I longer to create our perfumes following the recipe Lola created for us based on our scent likes and rankings- than the other person in our group who finished about half an hour early than we did. It was interesting as she thoughtfully asked us questions as she created our personal perfume recipe making sure to balance the base notes, middle and top notes of our unique scents. FINISHING UP: At the end she helped us come up with an interesting name for our perfume, made sure we correctly finished paperwork that would allow us to reorder our creations if we wanted in the future and gave us some very welcomed recommendations of a special cake place and other food recommendations. 5/5 all day long. Our experience creating perfume guided by Lola was amazing and I recommend you do this the first day you are in Paris as you will create a scent that will be tied to your Paris memories. What a great way to start a very exciting mother daughter trip. Thank you Lola!
