Just around the corner from the Royal Crescent, the perfumery and shop is the home of niche luxury brand, Parterre Fragrances. Uniquely, they grow and distill unusual plants in their Botanical Collection exclusively for use in their contemporary perfumes. The perfumes are all Limited Editions, defined by the amount of essential oil Parterre produces each year, and every bottle is hand numbered to guarantee its authenticity. Collaborating with a leading Master Perfumer in Grasse, the result is exceptional eau de parfums with a distinctive intensity. Parterre’s founders, David and Julia, are usually on hand in the Perfumery to help and talk about fragrance. It is a welcoming working space, and an aromatic treasure house, full of wonderful things to sniff, fascinating facts and rare ingredients. Regular exhibitions take place throughout the year. Open Wednesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm.
