The Perfume House offers a completely authentic experience every time I visit. I love the sort of quirky opulence to it's facade but also it's interiors.... Mark and the others really demonstrate the kind of unpretentious old-world relationship-based customer service that simply does not exist anywhere else that fine fragrances are sold in this city. Ten years I'm going here: I have never left in a worse mood than when I showed up-including during COVID TIMES! It's a definite mood booster and a top gem of Portland Oregon.

These two were pulled, and the Papyrus Moléculaire by Maison Crivelli is the one! In my opinion it smells better than santal 33! Highly recommend checking this place out if you're a perfume addict like me or simply looking for your first signature scent. Staff is very friendly and informative on their products. 30ML is $100 and the $100ML is $300.

I had the good fortune to be in SW Washington for a few weeks in January and to discover Fumerie…read moreParfumerie in Portland. I have a modest collection of about 225 bottles at home. To be honest, I believe I visited their shop more often than I went to the grocery store! I was so happy to finally be able to walk into the shop, sample a wide variety of fragrances, and carry out my purchase the same day! YES!! No more blind buys! Fumerie Parfumerie is a cozy, quintessential PNW perfume bar with a curated fragrance list that is best-in-class for niche and indie scents. They have become my go-to source for fragrance from lines like Naomi Goodsir, Tauer, Slumberhouse, Profumum Roma, Papillon, Imaginary Authors, Voyages Imaginaires, and Hima Jomo, just to name a few. You will be well taken care of by their scent-tenders - and they make everyone, from perfume newbies to seasoned collectors, feel at home. They are a best kept secret when it comes to mail order! Thank you, Fumerie Parfumerie for your great selection, your amazing website, fast and free shipping, and for carrying scents that everyone should get their nose on. I will definitely make time to visit you whenever I'm back in the Pacific Northwest and will be sending you my new wish list very shortly.

After taking a scent workshop in 2022, I still get compliments on the custom fragrance I created…read morewith the team's support. Maak Lab is one of Portland's best brands. Surprisingly, many locals are unaware of them, which is both a great thing (for loyalists) and shocking (given how incredible the products are). I recently stopped back in Maak Lab to update some of my scents, and I was so thankful that the Dafodyl is still in stock. There is something for everyone here, and you're bound to learn more about what scents work for you. I remember my first experience here in 2021 when I realized I am a "green" scent guy. This has been very helpful in my journey to collect more scents to wear, especially when traveling. You should also have this support! Maak curates dozens of products for notable brands and businesses in Portland. When you stop by here, I guarantee you'll be impressed by the connection to some of your favorite establishments. You can even purchase soaps, scents, candles, and many other products that brands you love to create with Maak. I still enjoy knowing that the Knot Springs soap I love is something I can purchase for home. Support local, and keep returning to the excellent Maak Lab team.

I went with two of my gfs and we had a wonderful time smelling SO many smells, learning about the history of fragrance, and making our own scents!

If you're considering it, def do it!

Her skincare products are eco-friendly, the ingredients are locally sourced, and they do wonders for your skin!! In addition to Jen skin care products, there are so many other products that make perfect gifts for a loved or yourself! She carries jewelry, candles, scarves, clothing, some shoes, artwork, etc. etc.! I really love the mirrors by Vikki DeGaa that are made out of wine bottle foils. What a beautifully creative way to re-purpose something that would normally be tossed in the trash. I have plenty of wine foils to give to Vikki! :) Jen said that she started at the farmers market and many of the products she carries in her shop are from the friends she made at the farmers market. Sunnyside Mercantile is female and Hispanic owned. Jen is a sweetheart. She is warm and welcoming, and very helpful with any info on any of the items in the store. I wish her great success! Shop local!

Whenever I stop in the shop I find something new and interesting. The staff are incredibly helpful and share their knowledge willingly.

At my baby shower, I received a beautiful baby girl outfit as a gift, but I unexpectedly had a baby boy. Since it was a gift, I wasn't aware of the store's strict 2-week return policy. Between postpartum recovery and caring for a newborn, it was impossible to return within that timeframe, and I went in 3 weeks after giving birth hoping for some understanding. Unfortunately, the manager was not empathetic or willing to help, even though the item was brand new and unusable for my baby. I understand stores have policies, but some compassion and flexibility for new parents would go a long way. Very disappointing experience from a store I previously enjoyed supporting.
