Explore our city guides: perfume shops chosen for their history, architecture, selection and visiting experience, from London to Los Angeles.
- London
From Harrods' Salon de Parfums to the historic Floris shop, London moves from spectacle to intimacy. Four stops to discover fragrance houses, compare styles and find a different way of choosing perfume.
- Amsterdam
Amsterdam can also be explored through perfume. From the Nine Streets to the southern neighbourhoods, these three addresses offer complementary approaches: comparing houses, refining your tastes or exploring fragrance alongside beauty.
- Berlin
In Berlin, perfume is not limited to international brands. A historic house in Charlottenburg, a Berlin signature near Checkpoint Charlie and a specialist in Mitte offer three different ways into the city.
- Madrid
A fragrance-focused boutique in Chueca and a concept store in Salamanca: two complementary Madrid experiences. A short selection that leaves time for scents, conversations and discoveries you had not planned.
- Rome
In Rome, just a few streets bring together several perspectives on artistic perfumery. Via Vittoria and its surroundings offer three unhurried stops, leaving each fragrance time to develop between visits.
- Venice
In Venice, discovering perfume is as much about places as bottles. A former pharmacy turned boutique, a bookshop with a dedication to olfactory culture and Palazzo Mocenigo's perfume itinerary: three stops connecting architecture, history and experience.
- Milan
In Milan, the setting is part of the discovery. Campomarzio70's Via Manzoni flagship and Olfattorio's Bar à Parfums in Brera offer two distinct experiences: immersive staging and a slower olfactory tasting.
- Barcelona
From Passeig de Gràcia to Sant Pere, two addresses for discovering perfume differently in Barcelona. Santa Eulalia brings fashion and fragrance together; The Perfumery offers a more personal encounter, arranged by appointment.
- New York
From the Lower East Side to Nolita, New York lends itself to a proper perfume walk. Aedes' independent history, Scent Bar's discoveries and Le Labo's first laboratory tell three different stories of fragrance in the city.
- Los Angeles
In Los Angeles, fragrance discovery is best planned neighbourhood by neighbourhood. From Beverly Boulevard to ROW DTLA's industrial setting and Larchmont Village, these three stops are worth the trip for their selections and atmospheres.
- San Francisco
In San Francisco, Ministry of Scent offers two starting points for olfactory curiosity. Mission District and Pacific Heights share a commitment to independent perfumers, while each shop builds its own selection.
