Where do the UK guys get their fragrances from? In Nottingham there is only really the usual Boots and Perfume Shop that I can think of and they only stock the very mainstream products?

I usually buy online from cheapsmells when they have what I want, choice is a little limited but the prices are good and shipping is free. I'm not sure about actual high street shops though, I just know the usual ones too!

You'll have to go to London for your best selection of niche fragrances:

Les Senteurs
Liberty
Harrods
Harvey Nichols

some chains which carry niche:

House of Fraser (Serge Lutens, Annick Goutal)
Space NK

Hope this helps

I'm from nottingham. There's a nice selection at both John Lewis and House of Fraser in the Victoria Centre. I've found Floris, Creed and Acqua Di Parma in the John Lewis store so it's definitely worth checking out

Yeah I normally shop at John Lewis, House Of Fraser, Selfridges, Debenhams and Liberty (only 1 that I know of).

On the high street, besides Boots, The Perfume Shop and Superdrugs we have another chain in London called Beauty Base.
It's like a bigger version of The Perfume Shop with a slightly wider range. They also sell brands like Guerlain and Hermes.

EDIT: Online I've only ever bought from Amazon and even then only fragrances sold directly by Amazon itslef.

If you could get the train to York and visit Burgin's I'd recommend it. They have Etat Libre D'Orange and many other interesting niches. Really lovely people, packed from floor to ceiling with scent, and tell them Sarah sent you.

Also from Nottingham. Also go to John Lewis to test then buy online. Or in London or New York on my travels.
