What makes great perfumers & apothecaries?

This plate lists 470 shops in 67 countries. Paris has the most with 84, followed by Naples with 60. Among these shops, 16 describe made-to-order work and 20 sell online, going by their own descriptions.

Ask for the concentration: eau de parfum and eau de toilette are priced differently, so compare the same concentration and bottle size.

Ask for a sample first: wear it for a day before buying a full bottle, and ask whether a refill or smaller size exists.

Ask where it can be sent: fragrance often travels under shipping restrictions, so confirm delivery to your country before you order.

A multi-brand perfumery lets you compare houses side by side. Senteurs d'Ailleurs lists brands including Amouage, Byredo and Diptyque, at its Place Stéphanie boutique in Brussels and a second shop in Waterloo.
