Nice is a shopper's paradise. For perfume lovers there are many choices -
and I can recommend them all personally!
MOLINARD - a small, friendly shop (Rue St. Francois de Paul) with a tiny
museum attatched, selling all the Molinard staples including Habanita and
Nirmala. Also sells a fabulous perfume book (l'ABC du parfum).
GALLERIES LAFAYETTE -upmarket dept. store with a fabulous range of
perfumes including Shiseido, Lutens, Aqua di Parma etc.
L'OCCITANE - the local specialist for Eau de Colognes and bodycare.
LES NEREIDES - a jewellery shop that has it's own range of perfumes.
MARIONNAUD - A french chain of perfume stores that sell most brands of
(mainly french) fragrances. I found Feminite du Bois there. They are
usually very generous with samples popped in your bag free when you purchase anything.
SEPHORA - young -at- heart and upbeat with lots of Serge Lutens etc.
YVES ROCHER - in the NIce Etoile shopping complex. Very reasonable prices
and the perfumes and bodycare products make great gifts.
