I had the good fortune to be in SW Washington for a few weeks in January and to discover Fumerie…read moreParfumerie in Portland. I have a modest collection of about 225 bottles at home. To be honest, I believe I visited their shop more often than I went to the grocery store! I was so happy to finally be able to walk into the shop, sample a wide variety of fragrances, and carry out my purchase the same day! YES!! No more blind buys! Fumerie Parfumerie is a cozy, quintessential PNW perfume bar with a curated fragrance list that is best-in-class for niche and indie scents. They have become my go-to source for fragrance from lines like Naomi Goodsir, Tauer, Slumberhouse, Profumum Roma, Papillon, Imaginary Authors, Voyages Imaginaires, and Hima Jomo, just to name a few. You will be well taken care of by their scent-tenders - and they make everyone, from perfume newbies to seasoned collectors, feel at home. They are a best kept secret when it comes to mail order! Thank you, Fumerie Parfumerie for your great selection, your amazing website, fast and free shipping, and for carrying scents that everyone should get their nose on. I will definitely make time to visit you whenever I'm back in the Pacific Northwest and will be sending you my new wish list very shortly.

The Perfume House offers a completely authentic experience every time I visit. I love the sort of quirky opulence to it's facade but also it's interiors.... Mark and the others really demonstrate the kind of unpretentious old-world relationship-based customer service that simply does not exist anywhere else that fine fragrances are sold in this city. Ten years I'm going here: I have never left in a worse mood than when I showed up-including during COVID TIMES! It's a definite mood booster and a top gem of Portland Oregon.

The Perfume House not only affords any customer a wide array of beautiful perfume options but in addition offers outstanding expertise and a true passion for the art of perfumery. Margaux greeted me warmly and immediately we clicked, chatting about various fragrances and making valuable suggestions. There was no pressure to buy but a sincere interest in providing congenial assistance and valuable knowledge. There is no need to shop elsewhere in Portland for perfume, The Perfume House has it all!

After taking a scent workshop in 2022, I still get compliments on the custom fragrance I created…read morewith the team's support. Maak Lab is one of Portland's best brands. Surprisingly, many locals are unaware of them, which is both a great thing (for loyalists) and shocking (given how incredible the products are). I recently stopped back in Maak Lab to update some of my scents, and I was so thankful that the Dafodyl is still in stock. There is something for everyone here, and you're bound to learn more about what scents work for you. I remember my first experience here in 2021 when I realized I am a "green" scent guy. This has been very helpful in my journey to collect more scents to wear, especially when traveling. You should also have this support! Maak curates dozens of products for notable brands and businesses in Portland. When you stop by here, I guarantee you'll be impressed by the connection to some of your favorite establishments. You can even purchase soaps, scents, candles, and many other products that brands you love to create with Maak. I still enjoy knowing that the Knot Springs soap I love is something I can purchase for home. Support local, and keep returning to the excellent Maak Lab team.

If you're considering it, def do it!

I am not a perfume person as scents overwhelm me, surprisingly Le Labo was not over stimulating…read more The perfume samples are sprayed in the morning so by late morning you can smell how each scent would be through out the day. The employees encourage you to smell the samples outdoors too if it is too much indoors which is nice as well. There are rollerballs, and other various sizes which is very helpful in making decisions and how committedyl you want to be to a perfume. Even a sample of the perfume (lasting aboit a week give or take) for $7 which is really nice. I got the Matcha 26 in a sample and really enjoyed the subtlety that builds. The fact that each Le Labo has the personal hand mix lab adds to the personalization.

I don't feel like this mall is snooty with the luxury goods. I feel like it's very accessible.
