To whom this may concern, For the last year I've been trying to find a way to contact the boutique. There is no number listed, however there is an email. I purchased an amazing diffuser from BelairLab at this boutique. I'm trying to purchase the fragrance oils for the diffuser. However the only place available is the boutique and the original location in Japan, which does not ship to the US. The emails I've sent have been replied to by automatic messages. I'm annoyed because I have an expensive diffuser that collecting dust because I can't purchase the oils. If anyone knows a way to contact Mr. Laudamiel or someone who can assist, please let me know.

A Perfume Goldmine is the kind of quirky, specialized boutique that's hard to find in NYC these days, and I'm so glad it's there. It's owned by an actual perfumer and it's staffed by knowledgeable, helpful fragrance-lovers who can guide you through the perfumer's creations and give you some really interesting (and fun!) scent-education along the way. Prices start at $16 for a travel-size spray from The Zoo NYC and go higher; there are plenty of fragrances priced under $150, which is incredibly reasonable for niche fragrance these days. Keep an eye out for all the surprising little details of the shop's decor when you visit!

I am not one to post reviews often, but if you are interested in perfume in any way, this shop is not only worth a stop, it’s worth making a special journey. The interior is presented like a small museum, displaying the career of the perfumer behind every creation. You will of course interact with perfume, but also you will learn about fragrance creation in a very interactive way. I cannot recommend this place enough!

What a delight! It looked very chichi and intimidating from the outside. But when we got inside we were helped by a wonderful woman who made the entire experience fun, interesting and educational. We left with 5 small bottles of unique, delightful scents for a really reasonable price. So much more interesting than buying perfume at a department store. I would absolutely go back, and I would recommend it unconditionally!

Lovely. Met the knowledgeable Christophe himself and it was such an experience. Not just the fragrance he develops, but the way he desires others to experience them as well. It’s incredibly innovative. It’s like a playground that makes you think about the possibilities of fragrance and it’s integration in the future.
