I live in west suburbs, so I rarely find myself on the south side of Chicago even though I'm a native south sider. Because of this, when I saw the shop while I was driving, I *knew* that I needed to go inside.
I AM SO HAPPY THAT I DID.
I was immediately floored (and intimidated) by the sheer amount of variety. As a fair warning, if you visit their location or prefer to use their website, have a good idea of the type of perfumes that you enjoy so you'll have a good place to start. Quality Scents stocks scent profiles that mirror the high end brands - think Bond No. 9, Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton, and Creed. Another bonus is that if diluted properly, a lot of the scents can be used with a diffuser. This store reminded me of the type of place you'd see on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn - talk about nostalgia!
Once I was finally able to narrow down my options, I purchased the following:
* Bond No. 9 - Chinatown type (diffuser - I'm using it as I type this; my house smells like a french boutique)
* Apogee and Roses des Vents - Louis Vuitton type (roll-on)
* Summer - Issey Miyake type (roll-on)
* White Patchouli - Tom Ford type (roll-on)
* Mademoiselle - Chanel type (roll-on)
Quality Scents also has whipped shea butters, incense, and black soap, so it's a great choice for customized gift baskets if you're looking for affordable options for the holiday season. They also offer wholesale if you're an entrepreneur yourself.
Spread the word, buy black, and support small businesses! The quality of their products speaks for itself.
I will definitely be supporting this business in the future. read more
