Perfume Shopping

I love going perfume shopping even though I get the allergies after a while of doing it. Usually I prefer to go to places that have independent brands or smaller companies than the more commercial brands.

Currently for everyday I'm in love with the fragrances from a small store in New York called Sabon located in Soho and have another from Athropologie which has many brands to chose from.

Below there are some links about tips on choosing the perfect scent for you and a couple of places I really like.


Remember to bring your coffee beans to your shopping trip...

    Some of the best fragrances that I have ever owned have been the cheaper ones.. I used to have a Barbie perfume of all things, it smelt like heaven :)

    Thanks so much for the links for perfume, I seem to get into perfume ruts and need to experiment a little more. A few years ago my husband bought me Champs Elysee by Guerlain and I've been using it ever since. I bought some more when we were in Paris visiting our daughter.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog.

    Everytime I go to Anthropologie, I buy a new fragrance there. I think I'm just a sucker for all those pretty bottles!

    Mmmm, I love to do this too, partially just to look at all of the pretty little bottles! I never think to grab some coffee beans though, and then I can't smell anything by the time I'm through.

    I tend to pick perfume based on the bottles (shameful, I know!), and boy does Anthropologie have some pretty ones!

    Theres this shop called L'Occitane here that's all about scented stuff (i'm not sure it has any outlets in the States), anyway they have the most amazing perfume displays and packaging.
