Nose

It was my third time ordering from Nose Paris and I can describe them in three words, BEST OF BESTS, their fast shipping, the way they prepare the package, the variety of the most niche perfume brands, their reasonable prices ( compared to where I live ) and most importantly the sample that I can pick myself and everything; I can’t describe how happy and satisfied I am as a customer, thank you for everything, Nose Paris.

I love it, I bought one good parfum. And I ask a lot small samples, because they have a lot beautiful smells) But please ask the price before purchasing, sometimes price on the bottle not actual.

I ordered MFK APOM online and the item came with the atomizer top loose. About 1/4 of the perfume had leaked out. I reached out via phone and email to let them know what happened. I haven’t gotten an email response back. I did call the store and the lady who answered said she responded to my email and has shipped me a replacement bottle. If so, this is great however, I have not received any email response and no tracking number. Hopefully the replacement will show up without a hitch. I would order again, IF I receive the replacement, because the prices are reasonable and the selection of samples is good. My only issue is the lack of communication post delivery. UPDATE: I promptly received a replacement. Carole was very helpful and took care of my concerns.

Amazing collection of top-tier niche perfumery. The have an incredible variety of scents that offer something for everyone. Lou was incredible! She helped my girlfriend and I find the perfect fit for both of us, which captured our trip to Paris, and will always remind us of our time in this amazing city. She took us through the testing process, which is so much fun if you love perfumes - would highly recommend doing this. Anyways, the shop is incredible, and Lou is the best! Check this place out.

So many to great niche perfumes to try under one roof! Staff was friendly and helpful. I was so happy to try so many great scents and find my favorite ones. Love this store!

I’m going to break the lucky number and write the 778th review here. Sorry! First of all, Paris is a picturesque and multi-faceted web of streets but rue Bachaumont must be one of the most stylish spots in this town. The rain gave the cobblestones a polished glow and the trees shone a vibrant green over the red break lights. There was also fresh, clean air. I found this store to be more artisanal than Jovoy (rue Castiglione), Galeries Lafayette, Bon Marché and other commercial perfumeries. Even the widespread brands (Penhaligons, Creed, etc) are those operating close to the artisanal level. Among the smaller brands, Unum was an intriguing discovery. The perfumes are so unique and strange, that they offer whoever wears them a whole new level of self-expression. Once I use some of my current stock, I will be choosing an Unum. My favorite was the amazing line by Nishane, namely the Hacivat X Istanbul and the Wūlóng Chá Shanghai. Both are beautiful and balanced, but also alluring and surprising. Wūlóng Chá refers to Oolong tea: a specialist tea type famous for growing on solitary rocks and Taiwanese mountains. It actually forms a part of the blend. This store’s prices revolve around €150-€250 per 100 ml - the same as you would pay for a generic synthetic blend sold at an international airport. My only disappointment came from bringing the store’s agarwood sample to my nostrils and not smelling any agarwood in it. The sample should be renamed to aquilaria, as I smelled positively zero oud in it. I love this area and I want to visit this store again. The thought of my next olfactory journey is exciting.

The store has a good stock of perfumes, and you can spend as much time as needed to find the right one. I will definitely come back when I’m in Paris. However, my only concern is the staff who work there. They are not friendly or helpful and seem to avoid customers. Additionally, I bought a perfume that cost me over 200€, and they didn’t even offer me any samples.

Since four years I became a fan of perfumes and I wanted to try several niche perfumes here! Luckily I was able to ask a staff to suggest me some perfumes and they were so friendly and fluent in English :) At the end I chose to buy Santa Maria Novella Fresia and got many free samples. My mom, who accompanied me, does not like perfumes in general. But after we visited there and tested, she told me that one of the perfumes they recommmended was her type and she wanted to buy it in the future!! It is such an amazing thing to make a person who didn't like perfumes interested in. Thank you so much for your hard working and supports ❤️I hope I can visit Paris again one day just to visit here again :)

The experience at Nose was phenomenal to say the least. Ironically, i found Nose through a post on Reddit, did some research and just walked over one day. 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.

Found out about Nose online and when we got to Paris we knew needed to go. We were not disappointed! As soon as we walked in we were greeted as they were finishing up with the client ahead of us. We took a seat and waited a moment. The whole experience was fun and enjoyable! When we made our selections, there was no pressure to purchase the scents that we came up with, but of course we did.... As we say.... "It's vacation money!!" They even tossed in some nice samples as well!!!

This review is a little late but no doubt they have a huge variety of designer fragrances for near half the price in the states. The ladies working there are also very knowledgeable and have good taste in both men's and womens fragrances. Make sure you get the VAT form when you make the purchase so you can get a tax refund when you get to the airport or ferry or train.

5 star service. You need to be an existing customer in the US to purchase though. Outstanding selection of fragrances and, less expensive than the US.

Very unique experience. They have you rate perfumes and figure out your most desired scent. The staff is so attentive and friendly! Something very different and fun to do in Paris.

Had the most amazing experience at Nose. Came in looking for a very specific perfume older Creed scent and had read they could match or come very close to it. I worked with a lovely lady named Dishita. The store itself was beautiful and inviting, but working with her made the whole process even more enjoyable. She was so patient, pleasant and absolutely amazing with her suggestions. She has a degree in perfume science and it really made all the difference. I highly recommend going to the store if you're looking for a niche,high-end fragrance that may be hard to find, or looking for a new designer smell. No matter what your tastes are, this place has what you need. If you can get Dishita it will make the whole experience a true treat.

Had a nice experience here. Thought they made special scents and perfumes. Unfortunately that not what happens. They match you up with expensive perfumes. The process is interesting. I don't have a many colognes only essential oils. So I had to discribe what I liked to Victory. She helped my wife and I find some exceptional fragrances. Very please with what they helped us find. I'm sure I'll be handing it down to my grand children in 20 years. It's was a fun and sexy date with my wife. Merci beaucoup!

We arrived 25 min prior to closing and the sales person would not help us and said they were closing in five min. My girls had been waiting to do this all day and we got stuck in a rain storm so it took much longer than anticipated to arrive. I explained this and they were not accommodating in any way. Definitely don't recommend this store.

It's very expensive, but totally worth it. Expect to spend about €300 but to have a wonderful time and to come away with your new favorite fragrance for life.

Finding your signature scent in a world bombarded by beauty ads, shops with floor-to-ceiling flacons, and duty free corners in every airport is not an easy feat. What we really need in order to unlock our hidden olfactory personality is a stripped down, logo-less space where we can quietly and methodically interact with fragrances in order to find the smell that moves us most. Nose does just that. After purchasing a gift certificate for my husband a few months back during a Yelp event we went to the shop together recently. An extremely patient and knowledgeable woman greeted us, sat us down in the back, offered us some coffee and then rolled up her olfactory sleeves and set to work helping my husband find his fragrance soul mate. The shop's digital database cued up a few fragrances for him to try based on his preferences but the clerk also made some great suggestions of her own. After smelling about 10 different fragrances my husband narrowed it down to two and then tried each on his skin. His top choice turned out to be one of the scents that the clerk suggested, which was also one of the least expensive fragrances in the shop, so she was clearly looking to get him the best fragrance match, not the highest sale. A wonderful experience all around and a fantastic gift idea!

We ordered online. It arrived broken into glass pieces and was of no use to us. We requested a refund and Nose refused. They would not accept responsibility. We paid for something we were not able to utilize. Next we will need to obtain a chargeback to our credit card. We used to love the Nose brand. Instead we will now need to alert our friends to this bad experience and no longer recommend Nose to others. We are so disappointed to be treated this way.

Shopping for French perfume was on my to do list during a recent girl's trip to Paris. Nose was right by our flat and was a fun experience for my friend and me. We were both able to select fragrances we loved with the guidance and assistance of the helpful and friendly staff. I'm delighted with my selection and it was a fun way to spend an hour. It turns out the fragrance I selected is available in the US but costs more than double what I paid in France which makes it feel even more luxurious. If you are a perfume lover and want to feel like a proper French woman, treat yourself to the experience at Nose.

Very special concept store dedicated to all the fragrance lovers. It is open for 3 years and half and the owner himself was there when visiting on a week day. They have a large collection of brands some known some not so much and some brands are exclusively found there. Be aware that the prices reflects the quality and exclusivity of the the scents. (Average prices noted 120 euros - 200 euros) The place itself is quite large and charming and offers a "scent bar" where you could design you very own fragrance (around 10.000€) with a fragrance specialist. This place is perfect for a gift to a special someone or for yourself if you feel like treating yourself VERY good.

Overall the experience met all of my expectations but one. We were greeted almost immediately in the store and asked how we could be helped. They seemed surprised that we knew about the diagnostic services and asked how we found out. I had googled information about services like this in Paris, and this was the google-recommended location. We were given the opportunity to fill out the questionnaire on their tablets - an easy enough process and explained nicely; though, I wish I'd been able to list more than 3 perfumes of ones that I already like. We were checked on about 1/2 way through but then I felt a little rushed. Once we had our diagnosis they whisked away our information and took us to a bar area to be seated. They were able to give us paper-sprayed samples of each of the perfumes that registered for us. After we smelled and rated them they did a new diagnosis based on the one we each liked best. Then they brought us another 3 of the 5 that we got to choose to smell; I wish I'd been able to smell all 5 and not just 3 of the 5 remaining. After that period, we were able to pick 3-4 that we wanted to try on our skin and walk around with for a minute or two. My husband and I both found new scents that we were very happy with and purchased. The whole process took about 45 minutes from walking in to checking out. The expectation that wasn't met was knowledge. I've done a lot of wine tastings, food pairings, and general "learning experience" type stores so I was hoping to learn more about the smells, oils, perfumes and walk away with a better understanding of the whole process. It's possible it was a language barrier. We interacted with all 3 of the staff members, but no one asked us what we thought, or discussed the scents with us. It was just a "here, try this one" and then they would walk away. I was hoping for explanation of each scent, maybe some history of the plants and oils. There were a lot of bottles with specific ingredients, e.g. argan oil, rosemary, etc. I thought we might breakdown what we liked about each of the fragrances in to a specific ingredient and really get to know what we were smelling. My husband and I were both disappointed we walked out with exactly as much perfume knowledge as we walked in with. Note: if you want to receive your VAT back from France, you'll need to have the goods to show them at the airport, but we had already packed these so well in our checked bags we decided not to bother with it.

I love this place. I really recommend coming here and selecting a personal perfume and home scent selection. Everyone working here is extremely informed and helpful. Prices are reflective of this, but the service is unsurpassed

We planned a visit to Nose as a group having emailed the store on numerous occasions. When we arrived, the gentleman at the store was caught off guard and told us we should have emailed (we had...three times...I even showed him the email and confirmed the email address was correct). He insisted the emails must have been lost in the ether, which is funny because so were the potential sales our large group would have provided. While it is reasonable to keep a sensible number of people in one's store at any time, this is not a luxury store; it's a fragrance shop. Not only that but the store does not create a custom fragrance for you based on body chemistry and other diagnostics, it merely recommends similar fragrances based on perfumes you have worn before. You know who else does that? Every fragrance salesperson ever. You know who else does? Amazon's Recommended Products feature. You know who else does? Friends. The moral of the story: there are other stores who do this (and more) better and who probably won't be so rude to customers attempting to provide them with business.

My wife and I had an amazing experience here with the best customer service we've ever experienced anywhere and all without buying a single thing. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!!

While walking around Les Halles, I stumbled across this shop and had a very pleasant experience learning about my fragrance profile and trying new scents that might appeal to me based on what I currently wear. Matthieu was extremely gracious, helpful and informative about the fragrances I was trying. I especially liked the personal attention, the beautiful setting, and the fact that you are able to try uncommon and hard-to-find fragrances that you will not find at large department stores or places like Sephora. So, this was an education for me in brands and fragrance designers as well. I just wish I had had more time. Plan to spend a couple of hours at this shop, and perhaps request to make an appointment. You do not want to rush through the profile process or the trying of fragrances. And, if necessary, plan a second visit to this atelier after you've left your fragrance choices dry on your arms or wrists. I highly recommend Nose as a very unique experience and education as well as relaxing shopping when compared with the hustle and bustle of other places.
