I have been buying from Jamiul for a little over two years now and this is hands down the best place in LA for perfumes/cologne!! I bring my friends and family to his shop when they're in town and they always want to go back! I actually went to a different shop that I thought was his a while ago when I first started buying and it was not the same. I made sure to find this exact spot after that since the service at the other spot wasn't as good as Jamuil's shop. Also, he's always there and when I ask for certain smells he always knows what direction to point me in with his expertise. I always leave with more than what I went in to buy! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone! read more

First timer! Found them through TikTok. I went around 2pm on Tuesday, street parking is scarce but there are parking garages available at $3 for 10 mins or $20 for the day but you can negotiate down to $10/$15. I guess that's how a majority of them operates. Zafran had a wide variety of oils- the young man assisting us was helpful and I didn't feel rushed. I purchased 6 rollerballs (3 for $40). I forgot the specific ounce but it's worth the price you pay. They all smell so good, will have to see if it lasts. read more

Responding to the Jamal's response on my previous review. Clearly does not accept responsibility for his conduct during my visit plus blatantly LIED in the response stating he wasn't present during my visit when I specifically planned a visit with the owner specifically! How does one be "out of the country" when I specifically requested a visit with Jamal himself... if I had my meta glasses that day to prove myself they'd be on here but unfortunately that's not the case. Plus there's footage being recorded at the store which can take care of that. Of course his employees are going to object any wrong doing to protect his image, please check the other negative reviews about his conduct as others have similar situations as well. I can't sit here and not respond to this as he is lying, I did not waste my time nor my 2 hour drive to see the owner Jamal specifically. It's unfortunate how he blatantly lies to cover up what really happened. This is not the kind of person you want to do business with. His number which I have saved is there and that is what is posted on his official page. Please reconsider your business purchases elsewhere. What a shame. Thank you all. read more

My favorite place to get perfume oils in LA. The staff are well informed on their products.

Holy perfumes/cologne galore!! I was literally just walking by and I saw the store and the first thing that came to mind was that I needed a new bottle of Aqua Di Gio. Lo and behold, they do sell it and at an affordable price. And here's the kicker, they sell by the bottle!!! The big bottle I got only cost $30 plus tax. That's it!!! I couldn't believe. And the smell... pure heaven. And not only do they have a big selection of perfumes and colognes, they got a big selection of body oils too. I guess I found the cologne shop that I'll be going to for a long time. They accept credit/debit cards. read more

Best essential oils ever & theeeeee BEST customer service! They allow you to take all the time you need to make your decision.

This use to be my spot, but every time I come here I see the customer service is garbage and the attitudes of the staff is just NASTY! The old man in the front has a nasty disposition and very rude. I've spent a lot of money here but they'll never get anything else from me. Y'all need to do better. read more

Beautiful new location in the heart of DTLA! After many years of patronizing this location, I was happy to see that they upgraded their space this year! Massive selection of the most obscure scents to the most common fragrances on the market. Each time I visit, I leave with more products than I went in for, but that isn't an issue for me haha. This store has a beautiful selection of hand dipped incense, wide variety of burning oils, fragrances, sage, natural deodorants & soaps, as well as rose water, henna and so much more! I've also purchased a small Tibetan sound bowl from here that was a great deal. Honestly, I never know what new items I'll find, but I always walk out of the shop with something of quality and never disappointed. Now for some COVID-19 updates: -All staff wear masks and keep a safe distance -There are some delays with shipping from their distributors, so your fragrance may not be in stock; I would recommend calling ahead of time to ensure they have what you're looking for on their shelves -Hours and pricing have remained consistent (speaking from my visit today) Visit this DTLA gem if you want to smell like a $350 bottle of Creed for the low low. Happy shopping :) read more

Was looking for great oil based perfumes and stumbled across Zafran Perfumes. Customer services was amazing. The had every oil that smelled exactly like your favorite cologne or perfume. I mean anything you name. I end up getting a small bottle of oil that smelled exactly like Baccarat Rouge 540 and I made my own mix as well off lemon grass, vanilla and cedar wood. They ha while wall of natural soaps, toothpaste, and many more read more

Great selection of perfume oil. I'm happy stoped by and picked up a few. The staff was very friend and patient with me.

This is the go to place for essential oils, soaps, and incense. located in the downtown garment district. This is the largest selection that I've ever seen, with very knowledgeable staff who are there to help you find the things that you don't even know you need yet. When it comes to smelling good and looking good, this is the spot. They offer killer wholesale pricing as well. read more

We have known Jamal for about 8/9yrs now and just love this place. I like our home ato smell lightly scented with a floral/fruit smell. Love VictorRolf FLOWER BOMB, smells so so good. Good prices on the oil burners, perfumes and oil scents, also bulb replacements, always had a hard time finding bulbs. Enjoy other scents - Jamaican Fruit, Michael Kors, pineapple, Victoria's Secret, Cool Water, Britney Spears - and many more to choose from. Great return customer discounts/prices. Always pleasant to see anyone here but especially our friend Jamal and his 4 yr old son. read more

I visited this shop on a whim while actually looking for another oil shop in DTLA. I told the gentleman who helped me that I was looking for essential oils for cold process soap making. He insisted that all their fragrance oils work for soap making. I told him I didn't want fragrance oils, only essential oils because I was specifically making soap for a client with sensitive skin who only uses essential oils in her body products. Again, he told me all their oils can be used in soap. I asked him to only show me essential oils, as I wasn't interested in purchasing fragrance oils. The first red flag should've been when he told me everything was the same price. Most places charge more for essential oils. Needless to say I trusted what he was telling me and purchased quite a few bottles of what I thought were essential oils. Once I got home I started on my first batch of soap. Everything was fine until I poured in 1oz of the patchouli oil. My base oils immediately went rancid and I was forced to throw away my batch (along with all the expensive base oils and butters that went into it). I figured that oil might just be bad and gave the lemon essential oil and try the next day. Once again I received the same result and was forced to throw away yet another batch. I'm not sure what I was sold, but I can't use it for my cold-process soap and am now stuck with it. read more

This is my favorite store for body oils, burning oils, incense, candles, etc. The owner is very friendly. I go there all the way from Tijuana, Mexico to buy my oils. Even though they have online store and delivery I rather go in person and see what they have and say Hi to my amigo! When you're in the DTLA area don't forget to visit. read more

Horrible service, my company put in a purchase order and the attendant began to lie constantly. Told us the order would be ready same day only to find out it wouldn't be ready till 6, then he refused to let us pick up at 6, told us 10 am next day, only to find out by the associate calling us that it wouldn't be ready till noon. Told him that her we would be there only to find out he was close. He made an appointment with us and didn't respect our business.Didn't get any thing we asked for nor did we get an apology. The associate made us drive from a really far distance to only find out we were not able to get anything from the company. I do not recommend this company at all. I did smell some of their fragrances and they were very poor quality, I'd recommend checking out other places in DTLA read more

Amazing scents with top notch service! Thank you Zafran for you're amazing smells! I can't stop smelling these personalized aromas mixed right in front of me! This place is a gem and will have business as long as I'm in la! read more

I been coming here for years, great quality and unique fragrances that last forevveeeerrr. Jamal the owner is magnificent and super helpful, cares about his customers and is very knowledgeable about fragrances and products! I get all of home home scent remedies here as well as several of my beauty products, the shae butter here is imported directly from Ghana and it's incredible! Excellent place to come purchase gifts for yourself and loved ones! I always feel great about spending my money here and helping small business! read more

I am loyal to zafran perfumes! I found this hidden place in the "new alley" area of Santee alleys fashion district. The two friendly employees or owners are always there to greet me to welcome me back! They are patient with us when finding out the variety of oils to choose from! I get like 5 bags at a time with x15 scented burning sticks in each! I burn them all throughout the day! I also love the cute little candle burners they have . I got matching elephants and they've done their job. Good quality and sturdy! Today we tried something new! We got perfume oils! Man oh man! As a regular perfume wearer myself these oils are great! They last a lot longer than spray perfumes. They are oil versus alcohol and lasts consistently throughout the day. They are concentrated but not overwhelming. I can build up the scent! I can try new scents at a fraction of the price with these oils! My boyfriend loves them too! He says it's great because he doesn't get itchy nor get a skin reaction how some oils can do that to you. But I don't advise putting it on your face deliberately or anything. Overall great small business. Can't wait to come get more oils ! read more

The service is exceptional but the products are even better. I've been buying body oils from Zafran for 3yrs now and the only time I have to replenish is to try new fragrances because the oils last forever!!!!!! Needs a Facebook & Instagram so I can share.. read more

JAMAL was great! He showed us so many scents and products. I was highly impressed with his patience and positive attitude. My girl took forever to find a scent she liked. We must have been there for an 1hr smelling different scents. JAMAL was juggling us a 4 other customers at the same time. He was awesome! For the best imitation scents this is the place to go!!! They smell exactly like the real thing! I highly recommend you go to a department store first and smell your favorite colognes and perfumes. Then go to Jamal and let him know which ones you like! read more
