Visiting Paris-suggestions for fragrance must haves.

My three sisters have all requested perfume from Paris. Any suggestions would be so helpful.

I am not sure what you like, but if I were going to Paris I'd go to the Serge Lutens shop in the Palais Royal. The bell jar perfumes are, as far as I know, some of the very few perfumes that you can't get in the US. Plus, I really like Serge Lutens.

What are their tastes? Budget?

A visit to a Guerlain store is mandatory.

Have fun in Paris!

I budget allows, the Palais Royal Serge Lutens exclusives would make wonderful gifts, but they cost EUR 120 each.

For something less expensive but also very good, you can check Parfums de Nicolai (a few stores throughout Paris), which sells also 30ml bottles at very reasonable prices.

There's a delightful little bistro right above the Citroen showroom on the Champs-Elysses that has the most amazing escargot. Beyond that, I have no idea. :-P

Budget, probably up to 125. Eur. Tastes ???

125 EUR for all three, or 125 for each sister? 125 for each is a large budget, and you can get pretty much most niche, including the Serge Lutens exclusif. 125 for 3 comes to 40 EUR each, which is quite a constraint, probably you'd have to go with small bottles like the 30ml de Nicolai or sample sets.

Last time I was there you could get a discount on 3 30ml Parfums de Nicolai bottles. That was under 125 EUR.

Thank you so much for the help. I purchased Serge Lutens Bois et musc, Fleurs d'oranger, & Bois et fruits. Now hoping they each like what I have chosen...
