Good choice and great service
I needed to buy a gift and this store is close to Edinburgh city centre near my work in a good, covered shopping centre.
It is quite a large store with lots of stock on display. Anika offered help, gave me a few minutes to look round then when I did ask gave me some good choices with sample cards to smell (I asked for rose-scented perfumes). I chose one and she pointed out another size with better value so I changed to that. Great service with a smile.

Member of staff who knows what they are doing
I went into The Perfume Shop in St James Square in Edinburgh on Thursday with hope of buying a aftershave, the sales assistant was lovely and polite her name was Emma she made me feel welcome and went though a range of different aftershaves until I found the right one very diligent and no pressure from Emma for me to buy anything which was great because other establishments wouldn't have been so patience so a big shout out to The Perfume Shop well done

An unforgettable perfume experience
An unforgettable perfume experience, especially thanks to Callie
This perfume shop is a true gem, but what made the experience exceptional was Callie. From the moment I walked in, she was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about fragrance. She took the time to understand my preferences, explained scent notes with real expertise, and guided me toward perfumes I never would’ve discovered on my own but instantly loved.
Callie has a rare talent for making you feel both comfortable and excited, whether you’re a fragrance expert or just exploring. Every recommendation felt thoughtful and personal, not rushed or sales-driven. I left with a scents that feels perfectly.

Incredible Customer Service
Visited today to buy aftershave for my grandson and once again Kes was outstanding!
He is very knowledgeable, helpful and very attentive to customers needs and goes above and beyond to give incredible services.
He is a great ambassador for the brand, and I would highly recommend a visit to this store.
The team are a proper team working together as one and you can tell they are happy to be there. Thank you for your service today

Outstanding service from Callie
My friend and I popped in prior to seeing mamma mia at the Playhouse. We were served by the delightful Callie. This young girl could not have been more helpful! We ended up spending over £300 between us due to this lovely girl suggesting items for our loved ones, spraying testers etc. she then wrapped up our gifts and we chose personalised ribbons. We could not be happier at the service we received and we shall be back soon. Give this girl a bonus as she deserves it! Thank you Callie
