It was pretty cool to walk around and see the displays with vintage perfume bottles and vessels. At the end of the tour (which was free) you get dumped into a gift shop (go figure). The cool thing about the gift shop is the build your own perfume section. This was a nice inexpensive way to spend part of the afternoon in Paris.

During my last trip to Paris, I made sure to visit this museum to explore the history of perfume,…read moregiven my love for both history and fragrances. It was enjoyable to explore on my own and see how perfume and scents have evolved, with many beautiful pieces and artworks that I easily lost track of time. I wish there had been more opportunities to smell -- although maybe not all of the scents were pleasant -- of the original fragrances you hear about during the tour, but I enjoyed trying the different perfumes in the shop. The sales clerks' high-pressure tactics somewhat lessened the relaxed feeling, but overall, I really liked it, and I did purchase a few delightful perfumes. I bought Ile Damour and Melodie because, in my opinion, they smelled classically French.

I happened upon this store while I was visiting perfumeries in Paris and was overwhelmed by both the quality and quantity of niche perfumes in their store. You won't find any common perfumes found in department stores, but that's the beauty of this place. The employees are very knowledgeable and very kind and thankfully will leave you alone to discover perfumes on your own unless you need some help. I will definitely be back to purchase perfumes in the future and look forward to new additions. Some of the houses I was so happy to see were Olfactive Studio, Tauer Perfumes, Xerjoff, Roja Dove, Profumum Roma, Nassomatto, and The Vagabond Prince. You don't see those in stores everyday!

The t-shirts had some adorable designs and drew me into the store, but they were quite expensive (over 30 Euro?). They had adorable laundry and lingerie bags for around 20 Euros. I ended up buying a beautiful individually-crafted tote bag for just under 16 Euros, marked down from 22. I love that the bag isn't a tourist souvenir, but more like a genuine, unique French tote. And so affordable! It definitely turned out to be my favorite souvenir on my trip to France, and I wish I had bought more! The store workers were nice and spoke both French and English.

The store smells of the most beautiful fragrances you can imagine and though its small it carries a good amount of products. I was in need of a nude lip color and found one i thought i liked a lot. Its a vegan organic product but makes the skin on my lips feather which i really hate :(. I do appreciate paraben free products and those that are not tested on animals. the price points are a little steep but you always pay a premium on organic and sustainable products no matter where you are in the world. I will definitely wear the lip color with plenty of balm underneath. A friend purchased face powder and likes it very much.
