Brand names like Dior, Gucci and Estee Lauder are all present, but we wanted to get something that's uniquely Italian. The woman who assisted us was very helpful and let us sample a bunch of perfumes. The bf's mom specifically asked for a perfume made in Italy and you can't get any more authentic than the shop's own brand, the "Ponte Di Rialto". The perfume presents itself with delicate floral notes and a hint of musk. It comes in this glamorous perfume bottle that is actual handblown Murano glass and the outside decoration is done by hand. The 3.4 oz bottle costs €80 but it's well worth it.

The store is located on a bustling street with so many people walking around. The front entrance is not very big, but the store is very deep, with many items available in the section where they belong. The salespersons are very helpful and pleasant. They're ready for your questions, and they'll give you answers and recommendations. The only thing I have to say is the store is way too hot. The weather is cold when we're there. But they turn up the heater very high. Very uncomfortable!
