IUNX is one of those blink-an-eye-and-you'll-miss-it sorts of places, in essence a miniature burgundy cocoon located to the right of Hotel Costes' entrance. Their perfumes are created by Olivia Giacobetti who produces perfume for other houses but IUNX is her baby so all they all bear her ethereal touch. My favorite is Eau Blanche (freshly laundered sheets dried outside on a summer day) and I always enjoy stopping by to try their latest creation which in this case was Eau Argentine (features notes of straw, tea, grass and woods).
Sampling perfume at IUNX is accomplished by sniffing a paper flower which blows scented air. (Sounds odd but it works just fine.) Just to name a few, I'd encourage you to experience Eau Sento which evokes the smell of a corkboard in a strangely pleasant way, Eau Baptiste, a perfect fragrance for Spring with lots of green notes, and Eau Frappé which is an olfactory glass of light sweet lemonade. The salespeople at IUNX are refreshingly down to earth and I've really enjoyed chatting with Ronald over the years.
IUNX perfumes are only sold in this one tiny store so if you're looking for a dreamy, light perfume that you will never ever smell on another person, give IUNX a whirl! read more
