Any recommendations for Niagara Falls?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I go to or through Niagara Falls, CA, a few times a year. Is there any place special that's worth a side trip? Rochester, NY, has Sephora, Ulta, Macy's & Lord & Taylor but I am looking for a source for nich and higher end fragrances.

Thanks.

Way late to the party, but there's a shop on Main Street in Jordan called the Beauty Safari. It's probably 20 minutes from the Rainbow Bridge. They're still expanding their inventory, but for now there's a very healthy selection of Penhaligon's, L'Artisan, Fragonard, and Geo Trumper. I think the proprietors name was Alex....great guy. Check them out next time you're around.

Outside of them, I haven't found a whole lot outside of designer frags of questionable vintage in these parts lol.

Just had a bizarre experience there!

I thought I would try my luck locating a bottle of Givenchy Vetiver there, and wound up speaking to the loudest, most uninterruptable sales rep. She insisted that it was a terrible scent, and she would bring it out and prove it. I thought fine, as long as they have it I'd let her do her spiel and finally walk out with a bottle. She returned from the back room with a Guerlain gift set. I politely corrected her, no, sorry, I'm after the similarly named Givenchy scent. She proceeded to tell me that not only did it not exist, but that this was not possible, as Guerlain would sue them over it, the way Armani sued Kenneth Cole over Black Code (really?). Then she pulled out a bottle of some D&G scent that "the ladies would love", I shook my head in disbelief, thanked her for her time and left.

On the plus side, I can say that they had a handful of scents not listed on their website, mostly designer stuff.

I checked out Parfums Couture at the outlet mall on Lundy's Lane the other night....not bad. Like most discount perfumer shops, it was mainly designer scents, but not necessarily run of the mill stuff like you'd find at the Duty Free shops. Pretty good variety, some niche (a half dozen or so Creeds), fair prices. Worth a look if you're about.

It's been an alarmingly long time since I've gotten to Canada, but I'll definitely go to Parfums Couture. I'd go to perfumefactory if you could guarantee the amusing SA
Thanks.
