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!

I write this with dismay…read more I recently posted on here asking for help finding this particular fragrance. Because Dzing! is discontinued and hard to find. But to my luck, some of the beautiful people on Fragrantica private messaged me and told me about it being available on L'artisan's website for a limited release. After thanking them, I went over to the site and purchased two bottles of this incredible fragrance and was beyond thrilled. However, the next day I realized I didn't receive an email confirming my purchase. So I panicked. I thought maybe if I put the wrong email address, they would now give me a hard time about this time sensitive order. So immediately emailed them and addressed my concern and confirmed the proper email address. (Why a wrong email address would cancel an order is beyond me - typically a store would reach out after going over the other information provided and correct it - but I didn't want to take any chances). So a couple days go by and nothing is heard from L'artisan. So I give them a call. I'm greeted by a woman on the phone with a thick French accent and I begin to tell her about my situation. She puts me on hold, and comes back to tell me that my order was canceled and I will be getting a refund in the next couple of days. With obvious disappointment, I asked "why? Over a wrong email address?" And she didn't have an answer for me but "I'm sorry" and went silent. So I said "oook" and said "thank you I guess" and hung up. Now I'm left rather upset because I know how hard it is to find Dzing! and especially at that price point. So I sat there with my thoughts and got rather frustrated with how that customer representative literally found me no solution and didn't seem to care at all. (I get we're in COVID times and no one cares and pretty much all customer service across the board is terrible). So I call back, and I'm greeted by what I thought was the same lady. Supposedly not. This lady's name was Saliva and she was clearly not interested in helping me. I asked if they knew when it was coming back in stock, and if I could be put on a waiting list/pre order. (Idk) and she laughed at me over the phone. Literally laughed at me. So I asked her what was so funny? Salvia then proceeded to tell me there was nothing she can do for me. So I asked to speak to a manager, which I guess wad also funny. Because Salvia laughed at me again. (I thought I was being pranked). So again, I asked her what was so funny? So after being laughed at, I asked to speak to a manager. Salvia told her manager isn't there until Monday. And I should send an email and try again. Once again, left with no solution, I asked Miss giggles what her name was and told her that I'm complaining about her and her company. I hung up. - A few hours later I received an email from a "Chloe". She told me that they sold out of the product and apologized for keeping my money for the 4 days. (So basically I paid for a product, they canceled my order due to an e-mail issue, and sold my purchased product and kept my money until the issue was "resolved"). After that, I emailed her back asking to have a manager reach out to me and I would like to speak with one. Not only about my experience with Salvia, but with L'artisan as a whole, their customer service, and how no solution was even offered. I was emailed back by Salvia, saying that a manager will contact me on Monday and to have a great weekend. Fast forward to now, It's now Wednesday and I haven't heard a peep from anyone at L'artisan. Now I write this because I actually enjoy their fragrance and product. But I will never purchase a single thing from them again. Their customer service is 0/10 and they clearly don't care about their customers. Figure it out L'artisan, or go out of business like the rest of them who lack any form of customer service.

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...

Then I was with my friend about to look around to see what she would want as her birthday gift. The "new vendor" had no manner at all, rushing us to pay. I was surprised to be treated as if I were in a Boulangerie. Maybe she is more suited to work at McDonalds. It is wrong for them to hire this person. She was rude and uneducated. I found 2 other items to purchase as a gift and she was reluctant to wrap it. When I got out I noticed she did not even asked if I wanted any samples, which they usually offer. I spent about 400Eur for stupid candles and there was nothing nice as a service. Truly dissapointing.

I HAD to stop by Diptyque while in Paris. The candles and…read moreperfumes are a true example of Parisian chic. Are they pricey? Yes. But this isn't your average candle in my opinion. The scents, the packaging and the burn time place them on the higher end of candles and I like to use the finished glass as pen or make up brush holders. This location was intimate, but had a wealth of scents for both candles and perfumes. I walked in and was greeted warmly by the shop associates. Lucky for me, the lovely woman who helped me spoke English well and helped me practice my French while I was shopping. She was great and helped me pick out a few candles for gifts, and even boxed them beautifully for me and threw in Diptyque matches and samples of their perfumes. For those of you leery of the price point, this is an elegant gift to bring back from Paris. And, they currently are listed at $64 in the US (not including tax). I purchased mine for 48€ which comes to about $56. If you add in local taxes (in SF it's almost 9%) you end up saving about $10-12 which is a pretty good deal.

The best mistake of my life walking in here. If you know Guerlain, you know you are in for a treat…read more I've always associated Guerlain with old and antiquated but I couldnt be more wrong. We were warmly greeted by Elena and conversed easily in Spanish. This woman knows her stuff and after working there for 25 years, i'd expect nothing less. Even though the fragrances are in the front of the store, I wasnt overwhelmed with scents blasting in my face. When I described the type of scents Im drawn to, she shared two with me: first one being Double Vanilla, which was divine! Definitely gourmand and heavy without being obnoxious and overbearing. The second scent was Angelique Noire. I am so not a floral scent woman but this scent drove me bananas. It is sensual and alluring opening with subtle florals and just greenery, and then settles into a warm woodsy vanilla - just incredible. You cant tell me I dont smell rich and the wear def gives longevity. If you cant tell, this is the one I purchased. We spent quite some time chatting with her and other team members about scents and just life experiences in general, while enjoying a cooling drink because Paris was rather warm in late July. An incredible experience and since both of the scents we purchased are sold exclusively in Paris, all the more reason to return and meet with Elena again!
