Les studios was incredibly professional in handling our reservation. OUR EXPERIENCE : Lola, our "nez", was fabulous. She gave a really interesting detailed explanation as to not only what we were doing but how and why in both French and English as there was another person in our tiny 3 person group who did not speak English. We did not feel rushed or ignored as rated our scents. Lola was also very patient -it took my daughter and I longer to create our perfumes following the recipe Lola created for us based on our scent likes and rankings- than the other person in our group who finished about half an hour early than we did. It was interesting as she thoughtfully asked us questions as she created our personal perfume recipe making sure to balance the base notes, middle and top notes of our unique scents. FINISHING UP: At the end she helped us come up with an interesting name for our perfume, made sure we correctly finished paperwork that would allow us to reorder our creations if we wanted in the future and gave us some very welcomed recommendations of a special cake place and other food recommendations. 5/5 all day long. Our experience creating perfume guided by Lola was amazing and I recommend you do this the first day you are in Paris as you will create a scent that will be tied to your Paris memories. What a great way to start a very exciting mother daughter trip. Thank you Lola!

They have a good variety of sets from full size bottles to miniature sets. Some that come with just parfume, eu de toilette or a combination of soap, gels and parfums. I saw that prices ranged from 16 - 24 Euro for the miniature sets, but the prices are also reasonable for single sized parfum and cologne bottles. Yes, they offer cologne for men here and I was really impressed with how well all of them seemed to smell. I ended up buying a full sized bottle for my brother while I was here, as well as gifts for some of my friends. The lady tending to us was really kind, and she allowed us to take our time and even included individual gift bags as well as a variety of samples for us and the people we were buying for. The gift bags alone seemed to be a work of art and we left very happy and content with our purchases. The only problem now is, where will we shop when we run out of products we bought? Maybe that will be an incentive to return...

I happened upon this store while I was visiting perfumeries in Paris and was overwhelmed by both the quality and quantity of niche perfumes in their store. You won't find any common perfumes found in department stores, but that's the beauty of this place. The employees are very knowledgeable and very kind and thankfully will leave you alone to discover perfumes on your own unless you need some help. I will definitely be back to purchase perfumes in the future and look forward to new additions. Some of the houses I was so happy to see were Olfactive Studio, Tauer Perfumes, Xerjoff, Roja Dove, Profumum Roma, Nassomatto, and The Vagabond Prince. You don't see those in stores everyday!

I've been to Le Labo stores in LA, Dallas (Barneys), NYC, London (Liberty's) and have always enjoyed chatting with the staff as they are consistently knowledgeable and genuine about their passion for perfume and Le Labo's products. Leonard at this branch was no exception! After catching up on Le Labo's City Exclusives, debating the merits of Patchouli 24, and sniffing longtime favorites: Cedre, Vetiver, Jasmin and Calone, I purchased a bottle of Bergamot which he custom blended for me. It also came with a personalized label. If you haven't tried Le Labo's perfumes before, I'd highly recommend this location on the evocatively named rue de Bourbon-le-Château.
