L'Artisan Parfumeur
evocative scents
2 rue Amiral de Coligny, 1er • 01 44 88 27 50
www.artisanparfumeur.com Open 10-7:30 Mon-Sat
This boutique rekindles memories with its cleverly
scented candles and perfumes. Premier Figuier
(First Figs) is Provence on a hot summer's day, Je
Me Souviens (I Remember) conjures up childhood
cuddles, while Pour des Prunes (Plum Pudding) is
reminiscent of a pie baking in the oven. Delicious.

Salons du Palais Royal
regal perfumes
25 rue de Valois, 1er • 01 49 27 09 09
www.salons-shiseido.com Open 10-7 Mon-Sat
Every year Serge Lutens, Shiseido's creative director,
comes up with new fragrances that are added to the
range and sold exclusively in this lavish shop. Best-
sellers include Rahat Loukoum, with its bittersweet
almond, honey and vanilla scent, and Amber Sultan,
aromatic amber spiced with evergreen rock rose.

Martin Margiela
bold fashion statements
23 & 25bis rue de Montpensier, 1er • 01 40 15 06 44
(menswear), 01 40 15 07 55 (womenswear)
Open 11-7 Mon-Sat
The Belgian fashion maverick's first Paris boutique is
a startling all-white space. Margiela's avant-garde
mens- and womenswear tends to be on the
conceptual side, but everything - apart from the
weird split-toed shoes - is actually very wearable.
