I discovered Parfums de France /PerfumedeFrance.com in early 2025 and I have placed several orders for 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! read more

Let's just say when I walk into perfumes de France they pretty much know me by name and I am free to explore as much as I want to they have an incredible selection of unique fragrances that you won't come across at your typical store. If you're someone who enjoys wearing scents that stand out from the crowd, this is the place to visit the experience felt personal, and I never felt rushed while exploring all the different fragrance styles. I'm always given a lot of freedom in the shop to explore. i always find niche things on my own and one suggestion from the staff, I've been a regular over two years.... You cannot beat there prices read more

Ordered a perfume. Never received any information about the order until i emailed them 4 days ago(after promised delivery date). Received response 2 days after saying its shipped. 5 days after only shipping label created and nothing is shipped. Don't recommend. Shared post read more

Terrible customer service, I purchased a perfume online that arrived damaged and leaking. I provided video proof of damage to seller in which he responded for me to return the item as he provided a return label. After a few days he contacted me by phone stating he received the product and that he was going to send me a replacement. After a few minutes after getting off the phone I received an email he found nothing wrong with the sprayer and that he was not going to provide me with a replacement or a refund. Mind you I payed over $260 for this perfume. I am disputing this but please stay away from these band of CROOKS! read more

Online shopping experience only, great communication, great value! Items shipped quickly and I'm very pleased to be able to order smaller quantities in case I have an allergy develop. My new go-to for unique scents. Thank you. read more

I have to disagree with some of the people saying the staff is rude and they push you to buy. I have gone to the store in prior occasions but did not buy something until recently. The reason why I didn't buy anything in the last was due to finding my signature scent for my everyday to day. I knew the notes that I wanted and what it should make me feel and to be remembered by that scent. Yes, some of the staff may tried to give you a random scent but luckily, I found Jasmine who has been very helpful in my journey. My advice when going into the store is know exactly the notes and the occasion you are looking for. Try one or two on your skin see how it reacts to your chemistry and how it makes you feel. You could go with well know niche brands or other know fragrances which they have at the store but it takes time. As for the staff being racist, no they are not. My friend who also got her perfume there is a afro Caribbean and myself I am Hispanic. I never felt any type of racism from the staff or felt treated wrongfully. My friend bought her perfume on the second visit. I did not buy my perfume until 9 months later not because I could not afford it but because I am very particular with my perfumes. Luckily, in my recent visit I found it. My suggestion because the store gets crowded in the weekends go during the week during work hours for everyone. Have an idea the notes that you want, the purpose of the scent and how you want to feel or the type of impression you want to leave. read more

This is one of those "one-of-a-kind", magical stores that you run into somewhere in Paris or Rome, or London, and that is quaint, packed to the ceiling with fabulous stuff, with mirrors walls and even a chandelier! Only this one is on the first floor of Tyson's Corner, a large mall in Tysons, VA. Parfums de France specializes in rare, difficult to find brands of perfumes, such as Montale Paris, Roja, Profumum Roma, Initio, Mancera and Clive Christian, among many, many others. The owners personally run the store, and are the most incredibly kind and knowledgeable people you will ever find. They are happy to let you try the parfums, and recommend based on your olfactory preferences. Everything they carry is of the highest quality. I highly recommend Parfums de France. read more

Went in this store and got top notch service, started shopping here a year ago and always come back. Definitely pay this place a visit if you're in town! read more

Fantastic family owned business in the DMV who cater nationwide to fragrance enthusiasts. Amazing selection and fantastic customer service.

Customer service was rough we wanted to come in and check what they have in store and they stopped us before we even made it in the store telling us they didn't have the fragrance we were looking for and told us to go to Bloomingdale's. We didn't have the chance to even try and smell other fragrances or even test to see what we liked or didn't like. read more

Absolutely love this store! The selection is extensive, and they are very patient and accommodating when you are trying to figure out what scent is for you. Sammy has a remarkable knowledge of fragrances and is always ready to share his decades of experience with his customers. To top it off, it's increasingly rare to have the opportunity to support an independently owned store. I will be back again and again. read more

Rude staff, they are very pushy and are visibly annoyed with your presence. Awful customer service. You can just tell in the way they speak with you as well that they hate the fact that you are there and won't ever be nice even though you are being nice to them. They wouldn't let my friend in because they said there are "too many people" even though there was definitely not that many people. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

What a great on line store to deal with!!! Quick reply to all my questions and fast shipping!!!! I will recommend

Would not recommend. I questioned a worker about why there were so many 1 star reviews, who I think is the owner then stepped in with a very aggressive tone. Some might have even said he was verbally attacking me. Unlike a commercial store the owner then offered me a better deal if I bought it today rather than buying it later, just a bit suspicious... Chances are there's real cologne so if you want to buy at this store just don't say a word to the workers or they might get very upset. read more

They have great options and legitimate products. If an item is delayed, they immediately contact you .... No waiting ! If you need a refund, immediately done! Outstanding customer service! Owner responds right away to any emails. read more

Have you ever wanted to purchase perfume from a prison commissary? If so, then this is your place. I've visited this store a handful of times. The first time I had a helpful sales associate and I purchased a perfume and body lotion I loved. Every other time I've gone in, it's incredibly unwelcoming and almost hostile. The employees aren't interested in helping and so many of the fragrances are behind the counter. Would you like to smell more than 2 fragrances? Well that's too dang bad because whoever is working will surely have an attitude. Save your time and head to Arielle Shoshana in Mosaic or to Bloomies, Saks, Neimans. Literally anywhere else. read more

DO NOT GO OR SUPPORT THIS PLACE! They are beyond racist. Me, a Hispanic female, and my 3 brothers, African Americans, wanted to go into this store to try out and buy scents. However when they saw my brothers they told them there could only be one person at a time in the store, they did not give a reason at all just told them they couldn't enter altogether. However when I went in with another caucasian male, they did not say a thing to either of us about there being a one by one policy. Very disappointing and sad. read more

Today was the last time I EVER step foot in this place. The last time I paid them a visit (late 2019) it was wonderful! The staff allowed me to EXPLORE different houses uninterrupted for over an hour and I ended up spending a NICE chunk of money. The lady at the time was even impressed that I was able to smell so many different fragrances without getting olfactory fatigue lol (aye what can I say?). Anyway... after inquiring about a fragrance in particular I was looking for,I was basically rushed out of the place after a few minutes. What the jackass didn't realize is that like Denzel... I was leaving with SOMETHING! I LIKE my fragrances! I can't speak on the ladies that worked there but the guy that was in there today needs to be tossed up outta there like Jazz on Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. Money saved! read more

Fantastic selection of quality niche fragrances that rivals the most "posh"high end boutiques. Staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful. Prices were very very reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

I've been going here for several years. I've bought some of my favorite fragrances from them and even sent many people to their store to make purchases. The staff will take very good care of you and the store had a large variety of designer scents that most stores don't. My most recent purchases was Celeste and I'm in love. I was also given two free samples as well which was a very sweet gift. If you are looking for something special, new, or familiar, this is your store. Trust me you won't be disappointed. read more

Horrible customer service. Decieving product descriptions. This has been a horrible exsperince.

The most racist and rude customer service ever. i normally get my niche fragrances from Neimans or Saks, but wanted to come to a perfume store that specializes in perfumes from France specifically. So my sister and I came after very carefully planning our visit all the way from BALTIMORE. When we arrived, we were treated like we didn't belong. The man sprayed the perfume and wouldn't hand it to me, he would put the strip on the table and walk away. He saw i had a list and kept asking me "how many perfumes you gonna smell today?" AS MANY AS I WANT TO if i am about to spend $500-$700 on a bottle or MAYBE 2!! He then came and GRABBED a bottle of Memo out of my sisters hand and she was spraying a paper saying "I will help you with that"- the final straw was when the woman came over and told us that we should come on a weekday because weekends are really busy (they had ONE other customer in there besides me and my party of 3). THAT WAS IT. If you are a BLACK WOMAN, do NOT spend your money here!! they are very racist and rude. They OBVIOUSLY went out of their way for the non-black patrons that passed through, smelling things like D&G Light Blue (no offense but it's a $90 perfume) and still bought NOTHING. I will be going to see Alex at NEIMAN MARCUS FRAGRANCES and continue to being treated like the queen that i am. You should too!! read more

Excellent selection and excellent service. They carry many of the popular niche brands as well as a few designer staples. Yasmin the sales lady was very friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are very reasonable and they're even great on the website. Recommended for those who like oud or middle eastern inspired scents. read more

Amazing seller with a wide range of products from the newest fragrance houses, such as Electimuss and BDK Parfum to the tried an true designer fragrances like Versace, Polo, and Gucci. He also has the very high end niche houses, such as Roja Parfums, Xerjoff, Kajal, and Royal Crown. The owner, Sammy, really knows how to help you find the fragrance you're seeking at a great price. Don't hesitate to stop here if you're seeking a good deal on frags that the big box stores carry as well as the ones they don't. read more

Great selection but incredibly rude and pushy staff that are visibly annoyed by your presence. After sampling a few she begun to push me asking "ok you smelled them which one are you buying?" Within 30 seconds of smelling the opening notes. I asked that I'd like to see the dry down first and left to walk around despite her death stare when I said this. Ended up loving the dry down and took my business online for cheaper. read more

Racist and rude people. When i stepped in, the old male approached me. When i asked to smell certain perfumes he would say "this is for men" as if he had the right to choose which perfume a woman should sample. Then after a while he said to me "ohh it's a small store, customers can't smell the perfumes because you spray too much. Maybe come tomorrow?" I replied "wow that's rude! You're rude, that's why no one purchases your perfumes." The lady who works there is equally miserable and rude, she just sits there, eats in the store. Grumpy face and all. Do not spend money there! Everything is OVERPRICED! Racist Arabs, nothing new! read more

This place SUCKS!!! Rude staff kicked us out because "there is too many people" it was only me and a family of three. Never ever go here better perfume stores in Tyson that aren't rude! read more

Parfums de France has become my Go-to store for Niche perfumes. Their customer service is EXCEPTIONAL! Their response to my inquiries are so fast and prompt. They also have the newest releases and if unavailable, there is the option to preorder. When Guidance by Amouage and also Overture were out of stock everywhere in the US, they had them available and shipped promptly. Wow! I'm still in shock. Parfums de France is a hidden gem for true fragrance lovers. Seriously, I have never had this much happiness shopping for exquisite and top quality fragrances in years! I don't even know how I stumbled on their store, but I am so glad I did! I can't wait to visit them in store as well. read more

I visited on Saturday, Dec 11th and when I arrived, the female associate was unwelcoming and very unpleasant. When I inquired in the fragrances and samples I planned to purchase, she falsely informed me that samples were unavailable. I explained that I had intended to purchase these online and she proceeded to tell me that they did not carry them in store. I further explained that I knew this to be untrue (as been a previous customer) and she stated her claims were due to a "more expensive" (whilst pointing to cheap travel perfume holder) "decant holder" I was required to purchase with samples. Obviously this claim was ridiculously false and quite crude. Very offensive to a returning customer and owner of niche fragrances. After all this, I still purchased a montale fragrance and several samples out of convenience and the young gentleman that did help me. I agree with another reviewer of their racial profiling and discriminatory behavior. I had intended on purchasing bond's greenwich village and several other perfumes and against better judgment, I rather should of given them no business at all. Very disappointing as I live in Tyson's and enjoy their large selection of niche fragrances. If you'd like a pleasant in store experience shop at Neiman's or Saks instead. Will not be returning read more

Great selection of parfum but the customer service is terrible, he kicked us out, and he was very unprofessional inpatient , even after a purchase. read more

they literally kicked us out, and we were looking for like 7 mins and they got mad. We were actually about to buy something too, and they told us to come back if we actually want to buy something. They also overcharge by a lot, charging 70-80 for perfumes on amazon for 30 or less... read more

I was accosted for recording a snap of a particular perfume by Bijan that I'd never seen on this coast. The salesperson--possibly owner--who raised his voice then sought to clarify that I "can only take a picture of one perfume, not of the case." Well, mate, it'd be kind of you to not assume next time. :-/ I get how grey market fragrance sales work. That said, it would be helpful to have a No Photography sign before you yell at me for doing it, because while there's nothing prohibiting you from selling grey market goods (and therefore no reason to worry about pictures), if you jump when someone pulls out a phone, I'll wonder what else you're selling that would make you so scared of one. If I ever come back to buy that Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, I'll update my review based on the product purchase and service experience. (I popped back around thirty minutes later to see if a No Photography sign was prominently displayed just to fact-check this assertion before posting it. Didn't see one. Didn't even see an inconspicuous one. I really don't know why this whole interaction bothered me so much; I guess I'm just used to kinder vendors.) read more

It started with an amazing experience buying cedrat boise intense from Mancera (in mid May 2022). The staff was so helpful I had such a great experience that I have placed over 3 orders since that time. The fragrances are fresh and stored in climate controlled mall. When spending that much money on a fragrance that piece of mind is very reassuring. I will try to update how my future orders go read more

this place customer seevices is terrible first time coming here i was trying to smell some fragrances to add to my collection it was so many in the store and the guy there act like i couldn't smell anything unless i was buying something first im not about to spend my money on something unless i can smell some stuff you basically have to go in there and know exactly what you want to buy my overall experience was bad here i rather go to neiman marcus then here read more

I am writing to formally request a full refund for an order I placed on March 21, 2024, that was not received despite being marked as delivered. This order included nine items, and I also paid $38.88 for Route Protection Insurance to cover lost, stolen, or damaged packages. This order was financed through Afterpay. On March 21, at 2:40 p.m., I was contacted by Sam, a manager and co-owner, to verify my order. We discussed my interest in "Gardens of Kensington" and "Leisure in Paradise." Although "Gardens of Kensington" was out of stock, Sam suggested a tester of "Leisure in Paradise," which was $50 less than the ticketed price. I agreed to this modification. After waiting a reasonable period beyond the expected delivery date, I contacted your team(Parfum De France) on March 28 to report that my package had yet to arrive. I was advised to wait a few more days, but by April 2, 2024, the package still had yet to be delivered. Since then, I have made several attempts to resolve this matter with Sam directly, including reaching out on April 3, 4, 5, and 13. Sam requested that I complete an affidavit confirming I did not receive the package, which I immediately submitted. It is concerning to learn that my Route Protection Insurance was canceled without my knowledge or authorization, preventing me from filing a claim. I also need a refund for the insurance and the out-of-stock items. Given that the value of the order exceeded $2,000, it is troubling that signature confirmation was not requested for such a significant amount. I am now requesting a full refund for the missing order, including the insurance fee and any adjustments for out-of-stock items. Please process this refund immediately, or I will be compelled to take further actions to ensure my consumer rights are respected. The fact that the company canceled their Route insurance, which covers theft, and issued their own insurance is evidence enough of their liability. The new insurance company, chosen without my knowledge, did not cover theft, and I did not authorize this modification to my order. Companies don't make goodwill adjustments to orders without a reason. Sammy is liable for the entire order, and I will accept no less than a full refund. Sammy has unnecessarily prolonged this process and is completely wrong for canceling the Route insurance that I paid for. He also mentioned that they were out of "Gardens of Kensington" and replaced it with a tester, meaning the $200 credited as a "goodwill" gesture is actually owed from the initial order date. I demand a full refund for my order and will accept nothing less. Furthermore, I cannot file a claim with Route because my order was canceled. read more

I am sentimental about my perfume. The scent I prefer is one that my mom used to wear. It evokes memories that are special to me. It is called Bijon and is a French perfume and hard to find. I was so happy to be able to find it and buy it at Parfums De France, which is located on the first floor at Tyson's Corner. The staff is so sweet and helpful. The store has a huge selection of perfumes. You can find scents that please a variety of women. The store has many testers to try on the perfume you desire. So, if you want to try a new scent or find an old favorite, give Parfums De France a try. read more

I'm in San Francisco so didn't have the chance to visit the store. I had done an extensive on-line search to find the best price for Fracas and they had that.
