In your opinion, which Houses have a nicest looking websites?

It`s always pleasure to pump into a website that has a beautiful, informative, clear design. To me it`s quite important, and it`s a shame that there are some major houses which haven`t concentrate on this matter at all.

Some of my favourites:
http://www.parfums-hanaemori.com/
http://www.mpg-paris.com/eng/main.html
http://www.etro.it/
http://www.boucheron.com/
http://www.costumenational.com/#top

Do you have any favourites?

Creeds US website is guilty of not having a more modern presence (the UK website is decent enough).

Bond no. 9 has a pretty good site too - I like the NYC backdrop:

I do like the Amouage site too.
And the CBIHP shop as well.
I would like the Boucheron and the Caron sites to have more info though and bigger pictures, and of course, the entire line not only the main releases.
The SL site is very design-challenged for me , it could have been a lot better. And it doesn't feel "french" to me.
I do like the Hermès site, it feels clean, and the graphics are attractive.
The Carolina Herrera site is very nice as well they did a very good job on it.

I agree with you. And anything with f***ing music!

Frederic Malle
Annick Goutal

I hate websites that are so full of information you just can't get through it. Navigation and simplicity are probably some of the most understated factors in websites.

I love the Etro site. I find it so fun haha I also like MPG's site.

Serge Luten's site sucks in my opinion. Not very elegant and doesn't do their fantastic fragrances any justice.

I love very much the simple (music) humming at the Costume National pages! I have even logged myself in there just to listen to that fantastic stuff!! Works especially well when you are under the influence of some controlled substance!

Salons Shiseido have a much better website now, though it doesn't really compete with the stylistic visions of Lubin, Les Nereides, or some of the others here.

Lolita Lempicka had a great website back in the time, that introduced Au Masculin in amazing style!! Those graphics and pics were probably the best I`ve seen, and it was one of the reasons I actually bought a bottle of that juice. Not kidding.
Unfortunetly, something has happened there - the site does not exist anymore.


I mentioned earlier the Les Nereides website...Yep, I love the site basically, but if you have been visiting there, you`ve probably seen that it isn`t working that well. I think it`s under development/constraction, since it doesn`t even show the (interesting) collection of smellies from this house. Hopefully they will do something about that. I love those graphics in there, anyway.

I love the Creed U.S. website, www.creedcollection.com. It's elegant. Plus I see on the site that there are a great many new Creed body products on the market: Original Santal hair and body wash, soap and deodorant, Himalaya soap, Silver Mountain Water soap plus Fleurissimo and Love in White bath and shower gels, body lotions and soaps. Cannot wait to try!

You gotta be kidding dude! Its not just about the product information - its about the site design aesthetic too.

I can give you the worst fragrance websites - They are L'Artisan and Creed. They don't look professional - with a prestigious brand like that, you would've expected something classier. I have a feeling they didn't hired professional designers to do it, they probably created it themselves.

Armani, Chanel and Dior has the best website for scents and fashion. Especially Armani - the AX, Emporio, Jeans, Couture and even furnitures are all there in their own sections - with tasteful layout.

Calvin Klein never had a website - the current CK site belongs to Van Heusen who acquired CK's business. (Only CK's couture belongs truely to CK, all their other stuff are bought by Van Heusen.) What a shame, if CK is still in charge of his business - he could have done a remarkable website with those provocative images from his advertising campaign.

Wow! it's totally changed! It looks so much better now! The bottles look real nice.
