Since the last review is over 4 years old, I thought I'd add a more updated review since the old…read moreones do not reflect the new reality. I'll start by saying that this was the biggest disappointment I've had when it comes to perfume shops in London. And, this is a shop, undeserving of the name perfumery. You can do much better. Some of the attitudes are in need of repair, they do not offer you free samples even after a purchase, they do not offer full refunds on legitimate returns (unopened merchandise returned the next day), and they have no clue about their own stock of perfumes or perfumes in general. That's the short story. The most important thing is, there are 3 places in and around London which are way better. Bloom in Covent Garden, Jovoy in Mayfair and Roullier White in East Dulwich. My suggestion: skip this jailhouse and go to any of the aforementioned 3 for you will be led to the promised land. Here you will be treated with distaste, mishandled with care and rushed out the door. The lack of enthusiasm for perfume is at the root of all of this. The judgement of a customer dressed casually (expensive-casual no less) instead of in a (less expensive) suit is poor judgement. Apparently, not all money is equal in this sad, outdated snobbery of a perfumery. You've been adequately warned. ***Note to store management: I've spent in excess of £1,000 elsewhere since arriving in London so rest assured, I have the money. A leather jacket does not equal thief, especially when suspected thief's jacket cost him £1,500. That's a little more expensive than most suits. Just a little education to counter your ignorance.

It's sort of like a duty-free sale because everything is so cheap, except in this case you're paying the taxman. Check back often for deals on various fragrances for yourself or affordable things you can buy as presents for girls. If you are a male then you need not fear! Messing about in fragrance shops is usually ill-advised, for fear of absorbing too fruity an odour. But at the Fragrance Shop you can just head in, ask one of the sales assistant for your particular aroma and you can have the money ready when she appears with it seconds later.

Attention to detail, a niche range of products, and a friendly and helpful staff They do fragrance profiling, which will help you identify scents which are to your liking, without having to spray every square inch of your body with a different scent. The owner Linda offered me this service on my first visit, and I've brought several people back to have it done for themselves. Being a oriental fragrance person, I never would have know there are several florals I like, or discovered a more woody scent for the winter that I wore every day until the bottle when dry. They also make candles and body products to compliment the fragrance lines, and the packaging is top notch. If you're interested in perfume and have no idea where to start or what you like, please go pay them a visit. You'll leave with a wealth of information about your own preferences, and you'll smell divine!

Okay so I wuvvvvvvvvv Jo Malone. I think I have like 6 scents plus bathroom spray, and two…read morecandles. As an american, I am used to buying out of bloomingdales but after walking by the Jo Malone store in Chelsea I knew I had to go in. Was greeted with a glass of champagne and I was ready to explore. A full store of Jo Malone. They had a wide array of gift sets and a huge display of samples. I was ready to buy one of the standard new scents and a candle when Jonathan stopped me. I was looking at a set of large colorful bottles that I had never seen in the states before. Jonatha then unloaded his story / sales pitch on me about some guy going to the foothills of the himilayas to get tea leaves and decided to use in cologne. The whole line was inspired by different types of tea and actually infused real tea leaves. Apparently, Jo Malone has a 5 year patent on this concept. Only 5 stores cary this new line. They are all in London and this is one of them. I ended up with the midnight black tea cologne. It is absolutely intoxicating.

Jo Malone has very simple and refined fragrances. The scents are decadent and intoxicating. My…read morefavorite scent is Pomegranate Noir which is distinctive, seductive, and modern. You can purchase your favorite scents in colognes, oils, soaps, candles, sprays, and diffusers. Love the products, branding, and beautiful gift packaging. For wonderful room fragrance, I prefer the candles versus the room diffusers. The cable has a more powerful and amazing scent. www.jomalone.com

This tiny little shop is much smaller than the flagship store in Chelsea, but it's still fun to…read morestop off and try the wonderful perfumes. My favourite is the Lime, Mandarin & Basil, which is the signature scent of Jo Malone. But sniff a few yourself, and find your own favourite. You can spray them on to little bits of paper, but if you find one you like, spray a little on your skin because perfume always smells different on your skin (and it will smell different on different people!). It's worth leaving it awhile too, because you'll find different notes come through the longer you wear it. The only downside is the staff, who hover over you while you browse, and some of them seem to look down their noses at you if you're not dressed in a power suit. It's a shame, as sometimes I will leave without buying if I encounter that kind of attitude.

This review is for this specific store, not for the Jo Malone products themselves (which I love)…read more This is definitely a posh area but I've found all the stores nearby to be really welcoming, with the exception of Jo Malone. When I was there the staff were actively encouraging people to come back another day because they were too busy to help them. I never asked for help, then one of the employees offered to help me and seemed really eager to do so, then immediately changed her mind and told me it was too busy and asked if I could come back next week (after Valentine's Day) and opened the door for me to leave. It was so bizarre, considering I had not even approached her. I'm sure they do a lot of business this time of year but it was a weekday and the store wasn't packed. I do my shopping on my days off and I don't appreciate being told I should come back another day when it is more convenient for the employees. I'm happy to wait in the store to be helped. Seems like common sense that you wouldn't turn away customers. That said, their colognes are fantastic, but I will be ordering online or visiting the flagship from now on.

Floris is the premier perfumery in London, having established itself in 1730, and has prided itself…read moreon excellence since that time. Floris has a store across the street from Fortnum and Masons where the entire range of its fragrances are available. Scents range from floral to sweet, and smoky to citrusy. Floris counts King Charles among its clients, and carries the royal warrant. His mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II was also a customer. I own 3 colognes from here and love each of them.

This is a truly remarkable business - my favorite store in London. You will be hard pressed to find…read moremany businesses with the heritage of Floris. Here are a few reasons to love this store, and why my last business trip to London won't be the last occasion I buy from this perfumerie: 1. History: Floris has been making perfumes since 1730. This business is older than my country. 2. Client List: Their list of former and current customers reads like a who's-who of royals, celebrities, captains of industry, and other high-profile folks. Ian Fleming loved Floris perfumes so much that he wrote them into his novels - James Bond wore the No. 89. Floris also has multiple royal warrants, including one from the Queen. 3. Surprisingly friendly, down-to-earth staff: When I wandered in here, I spoke with Margarita, one of the employees. She was excited about the products (always refreshing), friendly, yet not pushy. She displayed an impressive knowledge of the company's storied history, and was eager to talk about it. Thanks to her, I walked out with their 4-cologne pack for men, which included the No. 89 worn by Ian Fleming (and James Bond). 4. Custom-made perfumes: Floris custom-makes perfumes as well, though the price is not cheap (about 450 pounds if my memory serves me correctly, or two for 800). If you elect to have your own perfume, you are taken to a back room filled with numerous small bottles, each a different scent. They test your skin's properties, ask you about your personality, and based thereon make a one-of-a-kind concoction just for you, which is then recorded in their enormous book. The next time you order your custom perfume, it's only 150 pounds or so. Margarita gave me a peak at the ancient-looking book. Every other name was a "Count so-and-so, had an "Esq." title, or something like that. Some very important people have walked into that room. 5. Pride: They package your purchase beautifully, something you don't really experience much in the US (even when you shop at a Saks Fifth or a Neiman Marcus, they usually just wrap your purchase in tissue and throw it in a bag. Not so here!). Ribbons, beautiful packaging, a nice bag, etc. 6. Ancient scents: As I was walking out, I asked the folks working here what their oldest scent was. It was a perfume created in the 1700s. I forget now the name, but I remember the scent - like a bouquet of flowers. That perfume is STILL for sale here! I love this place, and they sell items online. Hope to return in the future.

Anyone who's ever taken a right out of the shopping centre end of Wimbledon station knows that…read moreamazing smell that radiates from Lush. In their description, the word 'lush' becomes quite a mouthful: they are a unisex, vegan, environmentally-friendly cream, soap and shampoo store with a difference. Most of their cleansing and skin cream products are hand-made or mixed, and they have a special focus on giving to charity, in fact proceeds are generated with almost every purchase. They also have a very fragrant selection of fizzy bath balls that look good enough to be eaten in the company of a chocolate fondue, though I wouldn't try this at home. Some products are new takes on the tried and trusted: I found something called a 'shampoo bar' there. Ingredients for everything apparently come from renewable resources too, so for some this could be a good example for guilt-free shopping. The staff members are capable, enthusiastic and friendly.
