parfumerie

Scent retail store

A parfumerie is a shop that sells perfumes and fragrances, or the art and business of making perfumes.

The French word carries associations of elegance and craftsmanship: She browsed the parfumerie for a signature scent.

In English, parfumerie often signals a more refined establishment than a typical drugstore fragrance counter.
