Fragrance

Designer, Niche and Home Fragrance — Over 4,500 Bottles

The largest department on the site: fragrance for her at over 2,200 bottles, fragrance for him at over 1,500, unisex and niche fragrance at over 800, and home fragrance. Houses in stock run from Paco Rabanne, Dolce & Gabbana and Carolina Herrera to Gulf perfumery such as Lattafa and Armaf.

Buying for yourself, or as a gift?

For yourself, work by family rather than by name — fresh and citrus for daytime, woody and amber for evening, gourmand if you want something sweeter. For a gift, the safest route is a scent the person already wears in a different strength, or home fragrance, which carries none of the risk of picking someone else's skin scent.

Are these genuine, boxed bottles?

Yes — sealed retail bottles with cellophane and batch codes intact. We never decant, refill or split. The price reflects overstock and end-of-season buying, not a different product. Gift sets are worth watching in particular, because they are the first thing a house discontinues and the last thing a counter discounts.
