Here's what i've managed to find so far:
Easton Town Center
- Nordstroms: higher end designers. Decent men's selection (including all the mens Hermes listed in the directory) and very large women's, about 4 times the size of the men's.
- Macy's: wide range of designers. The west side Macy's at Tuttle Crossing has a better selection, though.
- CO Bigelow: L'Artisan Parfumeur, Carthusia, Annick Goutal and many others.
- Perfumania: if you find something you like at one of the other stores at this mall, stop by this discounter before making your purchase. Just so you don't feel like a fool for paying twice as much. They also carry older designer fragrances and they're the only shop in Columbus that i've found so far that carries YSL, if only a few.
Polaris Fashon Place:
- Sephoria: all the regular Sephora stuff, as found on their website. A decent collection that (very) slowly rotates. Their friendly staff at this location will gladly give out spray samples of any perfume if you show an interest, especially on busy weekends.
- Macy's: again. Same stuff, bit less selection than Tuttle still, though.
- Saks Fifth Avenue: full line of Creed (so they say, I couldn't tell you for sure), many Bond No 9, Hermes, some Guerlain, and many others. However, the sales assistants there are hit and miss. I spoke once to this fantastic Russian woman who said she has been selling for over 10 years. However, I received some serious bad attitude from another SA when I asked if they carried Caron or knew of someone who did. She had never heard of them and insisted they carried all the best names in the industry, as if saying whatever I asked for was inferior. She really rubbed me the wrong way; I haven't been back since.
- L'Occitane
Tuttle Crossing:
- Macy's, on the west side (the old Lazarus, closest to I-270). Suprising selection for a Macy's. If you're closer to Tuttle than Easton or Polaris, it's may save you the extra 15 mile drive. Definatly worth checking out.
- Macy's, on the east side. Too spread out (each scent to it's own designer's designated counter) and has less selection than the west side location.
- Perfumania here, too. Same advise: double check here before paying full price at Macy's.
Outside of the malls:
- Luxe de Vie: located in the Short North, the strip of town between downtown and OSU campus. They carry Creed, Bond No 9 and a few others. See their website here: http://www.luxedevie.com
If anyone has anything to add, please do! I'll update as I discover more.
