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!

The night that we were headed towards the…read moreEiffel tower and were walking past shops I remember my eyes immediately zeroed in on the floral designs and meticulously organized display case and I mentally thought to myself: "I'm going to stop by tomorrow." and so I did, and initially I walked away having thought that I spent too much but then when I compared the expense to what it cost back in the US, I realized that shopping here is a really good deal and I would definitely recommend that if you're looking to buy gifts; this is a must stop. 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...

The only negative is that I am in Texas and I cannot actually shop in their beautiful store in person but I have looked at pictures to try to recreate the experience. I am an avid fragrance collector and with that I have made multiple purchases throughout Europe and also the Middle East. Every time I am searching and I find something I want and then I realize it is international I cringe because international shopping can be so difficult sometimes. I can say that Nose has figured it out and my shopping experience all 4 times has been spectacular. Their prices are fabulous and the fact that they include all the taxes and fees is awesome because then you are not left wondering exactly how much extra you will be charged as I still have not figured out how to know exactly the fee you get charged through customs. They have a great selection of fragrances and have some harder to find niche brands. In addition to excelling with pricing and shipping, they also include a large selection of samples that you can pick and depending on how much you spend, you can get other gifts with your purchase also. Lastly and most importantly, their customer service is TOP NOTCH. Not that I have had many problems but like anything in life, there are issues from time to time especially with customs and when I contacted customer service they were super friendly and quickly responsive. Honestly there just are not enough good things I can say. They have become my number one choice for international shopping and they have been so good and spoiled me that I do not want to use anyone else. I hope one day I do get a change to shop there in person but if you are looking for a niche fragrance at a good price, do not hesitate to check out Nose Paris, they are EXCEPTIONAL!

Without this offer, products are on the pricier side. With my sunburn from the previous day getting worse, I came in here having been impressed with the quality of another product to buy something to treat it, the staff were able to read a couple of sentences which I translated to find what I needed and were very helpful - I ended up getting some after-sun which worked out at a good price, under 6 euros. I would have liked more overhead signs to bring attention to sections, perhaps an été / Soleli section for summer / Sun, which would have made my shopping experience slightly easier, but still, the staff seemed friendly and had good product knowledge. 4*
