The clays are a great way to see if a scent is worth your skin real estate with information on the brand, notes, perfumer, and price on the back. Despite other complaints against touching bottles, I do understand you don't want to risk dropping a small brand's tester. Plus, as someone who has worked in retail, it would be a full time job to keep them straightened (OCD much) It's a must visit every time I'm in NYC to see what brands are new and discover something new.

I went in aware that you can touch (or spray) the bottles, but I wasn't expecting the only interaction from staff to be to ask everyone who came in if they had been to the store before (a chance for them to tell you the rules, of course). No questions about what you're looking for, no offer of help while you browse, just general monitoring to make sure no one is touching what they should not. I asked perfumes were exclusive to Stele and was told "not sure but most everything"...and saw a ton of lines that are not exclusive. The stones aren't a very good vehicle to capture scents (probably why I've never seen them at any other perfume store) and the layout is by house without any general descriptions or information on the brand. The perfume details and pricing are on the back of the stones. Overall not somewhere to go unless you know exactly what you want.

The newest addition to Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle - this store opened in September 2025,…read morebut it's been around since 2000. It's more modern compared to the original store in Madison or WV, but it is still an experience! This place gets lost in the sea of boutiques all lined up in one concentrated section of Prince Street, but this place is where it's at! This is such a niche brand, because who ever highlights their creators before the brand? Which brand gives them absolute creative freedom to do whatever they want without any constraints whatsoever? You can do the quiz here to find out which fragrances would be suited for you, so it's fun to do just to see what it would suggests. I personally like the right side of the display section, since it is lighter and cleaner rather than intense and spicy. But they all smell really good and the price point is high due to the quality of each of these fragrances. Since it is PARFUM not Eau de Toilette and remember there was no constraints while creating any of these scents, hence there are high quality notes in here and this is why it is $$$$$. They sometimes offer good deals, like right now they're offering free 10 ml with $200 dollars, which is a bargain. This ends tomorrow, I believe! They also offering free bouquets of roses with higher spend! I think it ended today? I want to say Leila is an absolute gem! Thanks so much for helping me and introducing me to all these lovely scents.

You need to be buzzed in and then you have the full attention of the knowledgeable staff. The scents are visible throughout the store but are brought out and sprayed for you. We went through at least 30 perfumes and even though I had favorites from the get-go I never felt pressured or hurried, as my kind staffer kept coming back with more fragrances he thought I would enjoy (and a few more divisive ones just for fun). One of my purchases was a DIY discovery set they were able to make me our of samples and I was gifted several samples of other scents I enjoyed. Will definitely be back!

Created in 1830 and bought in 2015, Amélie has given this line a new life creating exceptional fragrances from renown perfumers like Dominique Ropion. Here are extraits de parfums and eau de parfums. Très chère. After sampling several, I have fallen in love with Rose Paradis. While CV I didn't splurge on this line, I did buy a body cream from Montale which I am passionate about.

The staff greeted us when we walked in, and let us know how to smell the perfumes (they have the scents in little glasses). Staff asked me what I was looking for scent-wise, and showed me what I asked for. (I do love florals.) I was also shown the second floor which is their limited fragrances, so unavailable after the season. And when I couldn't decide between two scents, they helped me decide by determining if it was for special occasion or daily use. They also can custom make scents, which is pretty neat. I mentioned wanting jasmine, and they also showed me a pure jasmine scented oil. I just chose one of the premade perfumes. Maybe next time! They also engrave your name on the box, either English or Arabic, as a complimentary service. I will definitely be back once I need a new bottle! Outstanding customer service, very knowledgeable, and incredibly clean store.
