The Perfume Shop, a mainstay in the UK’s fragrance retail landscape, has introduced an upgraded experiential store in Colchester. The store opened its doors on Friday, 27th October 2023, adding another feather to the retailer’s cap, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year.
The revamped store promises to offer a wide range of fragrances, including the latest launches, celebrity scents, and timeless classics. The in-store team, known for their expertise, will continue to provide valuable advice to customers.
The Colchester location boasts a contemporary layout and introduces several new features. These include a digital screen, a personalised ribbon machine, and The Perfume Shop’s signature fragrance consultations. In addition, the store offers complimentary gift wrapping and a recycling service that allows customers to drop off used perfume bottles in exchange for a 15% discount on their next purchase. To mark the store’s opening, the first 30 customers making a purchase over £60 on 27th and 28th October will receive a free bottle of fragrance.
