My college age daughter and myself had a wonderful afternoon at Le studio des Parfums. …read more CONFIRMATION: We used their website to book directly rather than a 3rd person group like TripAdvisor, where they promptly confirmed our reservation as well as sent a reminder email (we originally booked with another perfumer via viator but had no contact, no confirmation, no record of activity thus we assumed they never received our reservation...that's another story). 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...

After having a good experience at Yves Rocher's location inside Saint-Lazare Station, I visited…read morethis store, later on, it is in the Westfield Les 4 Temps Mall opposite McDonald's- it is a larger store, it has a good feel to it and it is a rather large store too, with most products in a 50% off sale. 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*

I was greeted warmly in French upon entering, and the sales person immediately switched to English after I said, "Good afternoon." She was very friendly and helpful, and assisted me in selecting a fragrance for my mother in addition to Green Irish Tweed for me. I commented on how nice the shop was, and she gave me a quick tour. Lovely. As I was paying, she asked about the VAT refund paperwork before I could even bring it up. She completed everything for me, which made the transaction flawless. I just scanned the form at Gare du Nord and done. I highly recommend this location if you are in need of a great fragrance from equally great sales people.

However it wasn't until recently while visiting Paris that I went to the Creed store and got the full experience of what Creed represents and what they have to offer in way of fragrances. The sales associate was very helpful, professional and courteous from the moment I walked in. He asked me what fragrances I currently wear and what scents I like. After a couple more questions he pointed me to the Millésime Imperial. He pointed out how this parfum could be used all year round and for all occasions. The scent more than sold me and without hesitation I knew I needed to add this to my collection. Overall, the store is well laid out and well decorated. The sales associates are very helpful and I will definitely be a future customer again.

Not 100% sure what I was walking into, I initially asked if i was able to make my own scent which is truly my number 1 want in Paris, which they did not do. But what they did do is set you up sort of on a scent journey based on your current fragrances and help you find a signature scent. You sit at their bar where they offer you coffee or water. Complete a profile and based on that they will tell where you base, head, and heart notes lie and will show you 5 scents. You smell them without knowing which is which. You rank them and based on that you get a batch of new scents. And then from there you narrow it down to four. They then spray four on your arms and then you pick your number 1 to wear. There was absolutely no sales pressure. I could have walked out with just samples or i could have bought everything. It was amazing. I bought two colognes and lefts with maybe ten samples? I loved it. The staff was amazing. The place was absolutely perfect. I would do this over and over again.
