The Perfume Shop

The scent of this place alone makes me smile, and whilst I realise it’s a big chain shop, I’ve never been in one that didn’t have excellent customer service. In my experience, they’re all the same set up – a little box shop with floor-​to-​ceiling choices of perfume and fragrance. The lads are well catered for, so it’s not a women’s only experience. The range is huge, from your popstar creations to your old school forever classics.
I love the range — they always carry my classics: Ghost (original), Elizabeth Arden Red Door, Yves St Laurent Parisienne, and Estée Lauder Pleasures. (And I guess now you know what I might smell like, which feels faintly personal now that I list them all.) I often find they have good deals on around Christmas and seasonally, sometimes challenging online purchasing. The staff are often where this place shines as they seem to know the whole gamut and range, which has to be a challenge given they smell fifty scents a day.
It’s a lovely little shop and I’m a real fan.
