This is a hidden gem of Namur. Located in a medieval castle (citadel, an actual, once working…read morecastle!), this shop sells perfumes and cosmetics created by Guy Delforge. All of the perfumes and cosmetics are made on premises, and the perfumes are aged in the castle celler. On Saturdays there is a special tour and explanation of the perfumery arts (I missed it, but hope to be back again some day..) And the perfumes are very interesting, with a large selection and friendly, knowledgable salesperson to help you pick out the right one for you. Stop in here after you tour the castle, and pick up an authentic, one of a kind perfume connected to this region and the castle - the best kind of souvenir.

Woaw, what a killer. This is the best perfume shop I have ever came across. The perfumer is a…read moregenius! He should be famous to all perfume lovers. If you skip this shop, you are missing out on a unique experience you'll probably never find any other place on this planet. I'm literally and physically blown away with he great fragrances this guy can make on the spot! I got 1221, he calls it the apple pie fragrance, apples, cinnamon and vanilla. What a gem! The man's fragrance I got is another killer. Incense, vanilla and cloves. I wear these perfumes and I get comments from almost everybody who smells it. And if the fragrances are not only precious, but the prices are accessible to everybody. I can see some of these perfumes being sold in retail shops hitting hundreds of dollars.

I am a true fan of Le Parfumeur à l'Ancienne, ever since I visited the market in Brussels. The…read moreproducts smell really good and stay on for a long time. Prices are very competitive (e.g. Eau de Parfum, 30ml, 13 EUR!). Delivery was super fast, as was the extremely friendly customer service. Great experience. In the future I will only order here - as the mainstream parfumes typically cost 40-70 EUR, are of lesser quality (eau de toilette) and can be found on many other people.

I have been to perfumeries all over the world and this bright and cheerful shop is one of the best…read more The owner has wonderful taste and stocks a wide variety of excellent scents -- no department-store fragrances here. I wish I'd had hours to spend sniffing things and talking with the charming and knowledgeable owner (who speaks English and French, and possibly Dutch as well), but I was on a tight schedule: I still managed to find something I loved, and ended up getting a generous assortment of samples too, including three from a line the owner is launching. If you're a perfume aficionado you must not miss this shop when you're in Brussels.

I found a lovely lilac scent - which reminded me of the lilac bush we had in our front yard when I was kid. Such a find - and I was introduced to a new brand. Note: This is not an inexpensive store by any means but sometimes it's nice to splurge on yourself, right? They were getting ready to close but he spent extra time to even help me with the form so that I could submit the form to get the tax back at the airport. Shout out to this employee and the rest of the staff - including the gentleman holding the door. Thank you all very much!

I would highly suggest to look at their products on their website prior so you have a good idea of what you want to try out/purchase/price range, also, to avoid influence from the people working there. Back to the perfumes and other products, some of them are truly masterpieces, definitely worth it.
