Our guide to perfume shopping in brick 'n mortar (i.e., real life, as opposed to online) stores in London. There are links to store reports where available, otherwise, just addresses.

If you're looking for online perfume shopping resources, check out the Shop For Perfume page, or browse through the Fragrance Shopping topic for recent shopping tips and coupons.

Update: This page has not been updated since May 2011. I am leaving it here in case it is a helpful starting point for anyone, but you might want to verify that the store you're interested in is still in business before you go!
