What’s even better than finding beautiful fragrances that uniquely resonate with your character? Discovering them in an equally gorgeous space. We've rounded up the most Instagrammable niche perfume boutiques in Hong Kong that will make your journey to finding your signature scent extra enjoyable
Any discerning perfume lovers will tell you that a scent is not merely an invisible fashion accessory which completes your look and makes you feel confident. It’s also a form of self-expression that communicates your multi-faceted soul, a beautiful work of art that evokes your most treasured memories.
There are so many gorgeous perfumes out there to limit yourself to only one, but if you’re looking for something unique and personal that not everyone else wearing, it’s time to introduce yourself to the world of niche perfumes. Made with the rarest and the most precious ingredients, these small-batch, off-the-beaten-path scents are crafted to highlight the individuality of the wearer.
The process of finding them is a bit of treasure hunt among the shelves of mainstream designer brands in Hong Kong, and that’s why we’ve compiled a list of niche perfume boutiques to help you to find your perfect scent. These tastefully designed shops are well worth visiting for their artisanal creations, and, of course, for some envy-inducing Instagram snaps.
Parfumerie Trésor
While high ceilings and luxury marble floors might be the norm for most beauty boutiques, it doesn’t make for much of a backdrop on the ‘gram. For those who’re looking to up their fragrance game and add some glamour to their feeds, Parfumerie Trésor will not disappoint.
As a pioneer of Hong Kong’s niche perfumery scene, this little boutique in Sheung Wan is awash with elegant interiors inspired by the 1950s Parisian ladies’ boudoirs. Stepping inside, you’ll find all the dramatic backdrops and props you need for your #retroasethetic shots—think burgundy walls with paintings, an ornate chandelier, lush furnishings, vintage wooden display cabinets, and many more.
It’s a true pleasure to peruse Parfumerie Trésor’s shelves, as they have a slew of the most exclusive artisanal perfume brands from around the world that you won't probably find anywhere else in the city. Be sure to also check out their new Olfactory Gallery at Landmark Central, which is equally beautiful and Instagrammable.
