Nose occupies a corner shop at 20 rue Bachaumont in the Montorgueil district of Paris, a short walk from Sentier metro. It calls itself a concept store dedicated to niche perfumery and beauty, and the organising idea is the olfactive diagnosis. Online, the diagnosis returns five recommended perfumes in under two minutes. In the boutique it becomes a 30-minute session with an advisor, booked through Calendly, that can also cover a launch or a new brand as well as product advice. The shelves carry houses such as Frédéric Malle, Juliette Has a Gun, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, L'Artisan Parfumeur, Acqua di Parma, Penhaligon's, Miller Harris, Iunx and Mark Buxton, as Visit Paris Region lists them. Perfumes are sorted by gender and by season, then by olfactory family from chypre to woody. Skincare and haircare are arranged by concern, including signs of ageing and dehydration. Companies can book olfactory workshops for their teams. Visit Paris Region describes the boutique as refined in design and intimate in atmosphere, positioned as a beauty creator rather than a sales outlet. Orders ship internationally with tracking, and the site runs in French and English.
