I was actually really pleasantly surprised how nice all the associates were the last 2 times I was…read morein and how diverse their staff was. Many of them are in their twenties and some of them have just an ok knowledge of products, but everyone I interacted with was very nice. I bought a pretty expensive serum off of a recommendation and ended up having an allergic reaction (not her fault I have really picky skin) and everyone was very apologetic and the return was a breeze. I tracked down almost every associate in the store to see what they'd all recommend, and was pleasantly surprised at all of their knowledge and their willingness to help. I think they were definitely more willing to help people who seem like they will drop some $ here. Which, in all fairness, they are working a sales floor and this is their job. A good trick I've picked up is leading with "price doesn't matter" (even if it does lol) when asking for help, and seeing what they recommend off the bat. If it's out of my range, then I'll ask if they've found a drugstore dupe for the high end product then compare the two. In general, their selection of drugstore options is WAY more limited than ULTAs is. If you want good dupes and more to pick from I'd go to ULTA. Sephora does offer some high end brands and more expensive products in general, but it's a good place to find a nice addition to my normal product lineup. The bulk of my cosmetic shopping is at ULTA and I save Sephora for special splurgy items. I ended up grabbing a laneige moisturizer (I trust anything k beauty) and a inky list redness serum and both have worked beautifully for my skin. I'm looking forward to trying lady Gaga's foundation line. Thanks so much to the associates that helped out and they also give samples which was a nice perk! Looking forward to coming back sometime.

Perfume Paradise is a specialized perfume store in the Short Pump mall in Richmond, VA…read more Disclaimer: The owner of the store is a relative of mine, so some might say this review is biased. With that said.... its the only place I can still find the discontinued perfumes that I love (which are also, consequently, the only perfumes I can wear on account of my allergies). I can find my Donna Karen Chaos and my Emporior Armani, Emporio Armani White, and Emporio Armani Night. So this is where I go for all my perfume. They carry EVERYTHING -- you name it. If they don't have it, they will special order it for you and get it in the store ASAP without charging shipping or fees. That's the type of place I love to shop -- great service, anything is possible. The owner can help you find anything. The prices are awesome... better than Sephora or department stores. Love the mall too -- very cute outdoors mall.

Man, the smells be driving these men crazy! I walked into work last week with the Cool Water on and couldn't help watching people lusting over me when they passed. The guy down the hall that NEVER talks to me, was sho' on my line after he walked past me and got a swift of this smell! Him: "Whoo! Porsche, whatever you have on smells AMAZING!" Me: "Well, thank you! I recently went on vacation and found an amazing perfume store that sells an abundance of body oils that last me all day!" Him: "I must say, it smells great on you, whatever it is!" (As he smiles at me) Yup! I blame it all on Nur Perfume, a family owned perfume store that sells over 100 different body oils, incenses, essential oils, black seeds, and soaps. Whatever you want for your body, they have it! My girlfriend and I stopped in here as we were checking out downtown Richmond and taking pictures of all the murals. I couldn't miss Nur Perfumes as they have a huge sign over their building. As I am a lady that loves smelling fresh, I was excited to come in here and check it out. As I walked in, I quickly noticed their selection of oils on the back wall. Nur, the owner of the store and his sister, Sakara, spent over an hour with me as I smelt all of the body essential oils. Good thing we were the only ones in the store, HA! Nur Perfumes offers different sizes catering to your needs. Once you find an oil that you like, you then select your price size and Nur will place the oils in the small tubes and label them for you. The prices are extremely reasonable. I love that they have ALLL the perfumes that you could think of. As soon as I told Nur what type of smells I liked, he didn't hesitate to provide me with scents that were a perfect match! Now, ladies, they even have some scent names that will surprise you! My big eyes got excited when I read an oil that read, "Pussy". I quickly looked at Nur and said, "Ohh, I need that Pussy in my life". And sure nuff', I did! Their scents last you all day, better than perfumes from Bath and Body works or Victoria Secret. Best of all? They ship to ANYWHERE! I am totally set for a couple of months with my recent purchases, but I can't wait to begin shopping online for more scents. Nur Perfumes, I am in LOVE! Do you hear me? Remember me FOREVERRR, because I am NOT letting you go! Big thank you to Nur and Sakara for making my first time experience the BEST experience. I have a new love for body oils thanks to them!

I discovered Parfums de France /PerfumedeFrance.com in early 2025 and I have placed several orders…read morefor their decants in the past year. They are fantastic on shipping times and they carry authentic niche perfumes that may be difficult to find elsewhere. I've also noted that they usually have things in stock, even when other places don't: case in point Loumari's Porthole, which I will discuss later. First, I want to discuss their customer service. I placed my first order with four decants; one was a 5ml of Valaya Exclusif, the rest were 2mls. However, when they arrived, I didn't notice that they were all 2mls. It took months before I started cataloging my perfumes on a spreadsheet, and only then did I realize that I had been sent a 2m instead of a 5ml. I emailed PdF explaining what had happened including pictures of my order and what the sent. I asked if they could send me a bottle with the additional 3 mls that I was missing. Instead, they apologized and said they would send an additional 5ml, rather than the missing 3ml; meaning I ended up with 7 mls instead of my original order of 5 mls. This interaction made me appreciate and respect the company because they own up to their mistakes and take care of their customers. One of my next orders included a decant of Vanilla Powder Extrait. However, when it arrived, the printed label just said Vanilla Powder. I had previously ordered Vanilla Powder EDP, but it was also just labeled Vanilla Powder. So, I was unsure if I had been sent a second EDP in this order, or whether I was sent the Extrait I had actually ordered. I emailed customer service and they confirmed that I had been sent the Extrait even though the label didn't specify. So, I manually wrote Extrait on the label to prevent confusion with my other EDP sample. Their labels are literally my only gripe. I wish that they included more than just the perfume name--eg. Including Extrait/EDP/EDT would prevent confusion; having the brand, the decant size, and the date of the decant would also be great. But these are all things I can 'fix' manually by just writing them on the label. I've also had to manually write over some of the perfume names because they fade on the newer white labels. The old clear labels haven't fade. I manually written over them and then taped over that to seal them. After the above orders, I read that they have FREE brand samples, separate from their in-house hand decants, which cost $. So, I emailed them asking about the free samples, and about a promo code I had received from their marketing email. They didn't respond right away, which is very unlike them, so I emailed again the following week. I received a response apologizing as they had been very busy (I believe it was Valentines orders), and they explained that some brands don't allow higher discount codes, but they provided some other codes to try, and they provided their phone number and told me to text them directly when I place my full bottle order and they would add some free samples to my order. I had Loumari Porthole in my cart, but delayed ordering it because I wanted to make sure I didn't want to add anything else to my order before I placed it. Of course, when I went back to my cart to order it a week or so later, it was listed out of stock but available for pre-order. I checked several other websites, and no one had it in stock. This is something I've noticed about PdF, which other sellers don't do. They will tell you when something is unavailable (truly out of stock) vs currently not in stock but available for pre-order from their next shipment. AND they often have things in stock that others don't. Instead of preordering, I decided to check the website every now and again, and the day it came back in stock I ordered it with a 15% off code. I then text the number the customer service person gave me, and they replied immediately --even though it was Mother's Day weekend--and said would add some samples to it for me. WELL....I got my order today and along with with FB, and a 5ml decant I purchased to carry in my purse, it arrived with 7 free brand samples! These aren't just your normal run of the mill samples, they are expensive niche perfume samples (from the brands; not decants) including: Roja - Isola Snow (Parfum) Xerjoff - Torino24 (EDP) Vilhelm Parfumerie - Mango Skin (EDP) Fugazzi- Angel Dust (extrait) Matiere Premier - Vanilla Powder (Extrait) Matiere Premier - Crystal Saffron (Extrait) Essential Parfums - Bois Imperial (Extrait) Honestly, I couldn't be happier. I love this company. Yes there are other stores out there (Lucky Scent/Scent Bar; Twisted Lily; etc), but I adore Parfums de France above all others because of their customer service, attention to detail, glass (usually metal topped) spray decant bottles, non gouged prices, frequent discount codes AND FREE fast shipping (their order total for FREE shipping is lower than any of the other stores I mentioned). If you haven't tried them, please do!

They have an amazing range of niche perfume, many brands that I had never heard of. I really enjoy having the chance to try out a new brand and get a feel for their curated scent experience. The shop itself is also really well decorated and put together. Each area is labeled with a scent category like "woody, green, gourmand, etc..." which made the experience even better. Stop in, explore the smell goods, and buy a new bottle of perfume (I definitely did!).

She walked us through the history of perfumery and the categories of scents. We were free to sniff at any and all of the scents as we desired. We were then off to create two perfumes that we wanted. The only limitation was our own imagination! I set my mind on a summer one (Spring day with fresh flowers and clean linen) and winter one (eating my favorite cookies near the Christmas tree). It was such a blast attempting to create these scents and smelling how the different scents would work with each other. Despite the tall order, I was able to concoct the exact perfumes in my mind's eye with Sherry's help. My hubby created a beachy evening one and a mulled wine one that smell amazing, too. This was such a unique, memorable experience and I especially loved the shared experience with my partner. I love perfume and have a few scents on rotation so it was really neat to learn more about the craft and create my own. I can't recommend this studio enough!
