I recognized the brand from my time in New Zealand but never got the scoop about them until I walked into this shop. I believe it all started in Australia and they are pretty much taking over the world. Depending on who helps you service can be anywhere from amazing to WTH? ...at least in this location. My favorites so far are the Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash in Mandarin Rind, Rosemary Leaf, and Cedar Atlas (that's one combination). The other is the Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser which contains, you guessed it, Geranium Leaf, as well as Mandarin Rind, and Bergamot Rind. It's quite pricey but a good splurge as a gift to others and don't forget to love on yourself once in a while. They have travel sizes for those who have commitment issues. Whoever it's for, your recipient will definitely appreciate it.

Think the gent who assisted was Antoine (shorter, chestnut hair, and great skin, of course). Very warm and extremely knowledgeable. I regularly shop their stores in Century City, Culver, and Larchmont, yet he taught me things I never knew about their products. Thought I was just popping in for a serum, but he took the time to show me several options, and I bought more than expected :-) Knowing that I was visiting, he even offered me an Aesop guide to local restaurants. So helpful, so thoughtful, such a wonderful employee and experience. Thank you!!!

The clerk offered me tea as well as a pricing sheet before leading me to the sink in the middle of store to wash my hands and try the products. They even offer you a small hand towel to dry your hands afterwards! Everything has top notch packaging, it's super impressive. On one side of the room they have gift packages and each comes with a sleeve that has unique artwork and a poem. Sadly, everything is very expensive and I can't justify paying for any of it. I let my sales associate know this and she said it wasn't a problem. She gave me a catalog and some samples before I left just in case I ever wanted to treat myself. Excellent customer service! I was so pleased after my visit.

This was a rather fascinating find. Considering I pay the same price range for sephora products I thought I would give this a try-I have tried : 1) Kiss me liquid eyeliner (~20$) I loved for its fine felt tip 2)lululun deep hydrating face mask A popular Japanese product (7 refills for 10$)- this is great for daily or occasional use 3)coloured contacts (~15$ each eye, prescription based one year disposables-base curve8.6, diameter 14.2 mm). As a medical professional, make sure you get the correct measurements for contacts so you don't scratch your eye! But these were fun to try out- I got them in honey and gray. 4) Liese hair dye (19$ - non bleach based products offered,with foam application) I loved this hair product as it wasn't hard to use - and had easy to follow instructions

I love this shop! I happen to be entirely obsessed with Asian skincare products and cosmetics. This…read morelittle gem has a variety of primarily Korean and Japanese items that cover a number of needs and wants - make-up, masks, lotions, lashes...you name it. I've used probably over a dozen of their sheet face masks, a peel-off charcoal mask, lotions, and I'm a big fan of the collagen candies. Every item has been high quality, and the only downside would be that I find some of the prices to be a tad on the expensive side. However, packed into the rather small space is a place where you can most definitely discover something new that you'll just have to try.

One of the girls actually reminded me I still had an extra 10% off, which was a nice surprise. I picked up two perfume sample sets from a brand I've been wanting to try, so I was really happy with that. Also loved their new checkout system they can actually ring you up while you're waiting in line if you're paying by card. One of the associates pulled me aside and checked me out on her phone, which made everything way faster. Overall, really smooth experience. Would definitely go back.

Did you see that little boutique? Seriously, blink while walking, it's gone!…read moreDon't be surprised tough, the place is as swanky as Rockland center fancies itself nowadays. The two full beauty displays they have are Channel and Guerlain. That sets the scene. The place is cramped, seriously. If you go with your girlfriends (or guyfriends for that matter), you might wanna take turns because the width won't fit more than three of you.. That being said, their slection is phenomenal. If you're ever remotely interested in perfumes, you have to stop at Maison des Parfums at one point or another. Were you looking for some Hermes? An old Caron or Coty? Perhaps a discountinued perfume? Yeah, go ahead get all your fume science out and ask for those european brands not even Holt Renfrew carries.. The slight downside is the service. Rockland center, you guessed it. Do you look like you're gonna spend? Or do you look old enough to spend enough? I know I don't. The saleslady was reasonably nice and chit-chatted a bit but sure enough, a couple of better-manicured, older lasses showed up and out I went!

I needed new perfume, and we'd planned a trip to Montreal. Parfait! I searched on-line for places, and saw another Yelp! review for Maison des Parfums. I was in. The owner, a lovely French woman, graciously spoke English for me and my S.O., and spritzed several paper swatches with perfumes she thought would work for me. When we settled on a few, she sprayed my hands and arms, and we waited for them to dry. Then she sniffed my arms and hands as if she were smelling the bouquet of fine wine. We decided on two that were super. This petit shop is LOADED with perfumes, most of them brands you'd see in most department stores. But the owner and her family have owned this business for 25 years, and she's clearly got a gift for finding the right fragrances. The only downside is that this in a mall WAY out of the center of town. 'Not easy to access any way except by car. (We took the metro and walked about 1-1/2 miles from the station. Thankfully, we're in shape.) That said, this place is delightful, and if you want a real pro to help you spruce up your fragrances, GO! A little taste of Paris in Montreal 'burbs.

Definitely on the higher end/pricier side of skin and hair products, but the entire vibe when inside the shop is part of the allure in itself.

Regular prices are quite high, but that is usually the case for imported cosmetics. I totally lucked out on my last visit and scored some mascara on clearance for like 95% off! I got 2 Innisfree mascaras (they call them microcara because the brush is tiny/micro, lol) for $0.99 each! The regular price of one of them (the waterproof one) was $19.99 and the regular price of the other one (the non-waterproof one) was $16.99. The best before date was 3 months from the time that I bought them (which explains why they were on clearance). You're technically supposed to replace your mascara every 3 months anyway, so no big deal. If you like Korean cosmetics you should check out C&C Korean Cosmetics!
