Les Senteurs

A beautiful shop with wonderful perfumes and staff who really do know their fragrances. The best place for perfumes - old favourites and new independent ones. Very elegant and yet friendly place.

Great service - made to feel very welcome, even on a busy pre-Christmas lunchtime. Look forward to going back soon!

As I live in the North of England, it is even harder to find anything that is not mainstream, however I stumbled upon Les Senteurs on a trip to London 15 years ago and have used their mail order service ever since. I sometimes digress from my favourite, 'Habanita', and always ask James to advise me about alternative scents. He is never wrong! Trust them, they will make you feel very special!

I've had the pleasure of visiting the shop several times and thus had the chance to be served by several of the members of staff. With no exception, they are incredibly knowledgable, kind and lovely. Never once have I felt pushed to buy a perfume, rather, the focus is on helping people find 'their' perfume. This is one of the best perfume shops I have ever been to.

Profoundly disagree with previous critic. As usual for me, impeccable service from the people in the shop. Purchased Mona di Orio and more Frederic Malle. Even with only one member of staff present and a very chic lady customer before me, I could not have had better service from the young guy serving me. He sure knows his stuff and nothing was too much trouble. Cannot recommend this shop enough.

Firstly, I recently learned that this is not a family-run place but owned by a large perfume distributor - so that's one illusion shattered. Also, staff fairly indifferent. I'm not sure why the place is so highly regarded. Give me Bond no. 9 in New York any day!

An elegant shop full of beautiful things. I was pleased to see Frederic Malle's range available in England.

Nice shop and people - useful place to know as they have many good brands but this is a retailer of perfumes rather than a real perfumer, so I am not sure why some are so complimentary - anyway, a good addition to the London scent scene.

Great small shop of rare perfumes!

Extremely helpful, non-pushy service from the staff who take the time to make sure the customer gets a product that is suitable. I'm an occasional visitor and love to escape the noise of London inside this perfumed haven. Much of what they stock is unavailable elsewhere. Highly recommended.

The creme de la creme of perfumeries!

Les Senteurs is a little bit of heaven, and James is its archangel. I went in feeling like a bag lady after a horrendous journey one muggy wet afternoon, and came out feeling like a queen. Fell in love with a daring perfume, but James wouldn't let me buy it straight away and sent me away with 3 samples of it to see if I could really live with it before I invested. I'll be sending for it by mail order though... Fantastic experience - treat yourself!

Elegant shop with knowledgeable staff, very good service. Will be back, the super deluxe Frederic Malle scents are incomparable and worth the prices asked.

Great service, great range of niche fragrances and classics.

It's the fragrance equivalent of wine tasting. You will find your perfect scent. If you are searching for the One then this is the place to find it.

Passionate about perfume & extremely knowledgeable. An excellent place for fragrances NOT in every department shop. Though I'm still waiting for a refill bottle for my L'Heure Exquise' - ordered well before Christmas.

Fantastic service - and huge selection and knowledge.

The most fantastic shop in London.

Great service - friendly, knowledgeable, not at all snooty despite my fairly scruffy appearance and not pushy. Lovely perfumes and good range.

I was served by a gentleman called James who was the most charming and knowledgeable man I could hope to be served by. He had a wealth of stories to divulge on the subject of fragrance and he was very generous with the samples I was offered. Love the new brand - Editions de Parfums.

Everyone was very friendly - going back for sure!
