To enter Salon des Parfums is to celebrate what the philosopher Rousseau called "the sense of the imagination." Housed in the lovely 1905 Shreve Building and lined with sparkling crystal bottles, the small shop is as lavish as an 18th century salon. But it's the scent of the place–exotic, heady, intoxicating–that you'll most want to take home, and thankfully, you can. Drop by drop, proprietor Kevin Hoskins will introduce you to a world of timeless scents created by the venerable French house, Parfums Henry Jacques. Blended from pure essences of myhrr, frankincense, roses, amber, citrus and lavender, to name but a few, these are the world's most exquisite fragrances and, in some cases, the most rare. They are ethereal, long-lasting, never overpowering. Take home your signature scent in the form of perfume (starting at $150 per quarter ounce), bath gel or body lotion... or choose all three, and layer with abandon.
