Scent lovers, do you know how to stack perfume?

The French are inherently romantic, or roughly understood as favoring formality and self-indulgence.

Besides the French perfume Jovoy, the heart of fragrant Paris also contains luxurious Xerjoff from Italy, sophisticated Amouage from Oman, ancient Grossmith from England, meticulous Tauer Parfums from Switzerland, AJ Arabia

A convenient combination, right near Jovoy, just 2 minutes walk to Annick Goutal store, the small and lasting love of France, with timeless creations such as Ambre Fetiche, Eau du Sud, Encens

3. Galeries Lafayette and Printemps shopping centers

Address: 40 Boulevard Haussmann and 64 Boulevard Haussmann, nearest train station: Chaussee d’Antin – Lafayette or Havre Caumartin

That being said, I like Printemps better than Galeries Lafayette.

The two shopping centers are next to each other, with beautiful layout and architecture, especially Galeries Lafayette.

4. Sens Unique

Address: 13 Rue du Roi de Sicile, nearest train station: Saint – Paul

I call Sens Unique the “secret garden” in Paris.

Compared to Jovoy, Sens Unique is small, but it is a small pepper.

From Sens Unique, you can walk leisurely down to Le Marais area to visit a miniature Paris with many delicious restaurants, fragrant cafes, creative hand-made vintage fashion… not too crowded with tourists.

A small note, 99.9% of stores across France will be closed on Sunday.
