Fragonard
Parisian perfume maker Fragonard has a changing litany of great things for the home, such as fabulous vases with an Eiffel Tower theme, lovely embroidered napkins with a fish or vegetable theme, great little spoons with a cake or pastry theme. Nothing is very expensive and the offerings change every few months, so you have to pounce when you find something you love. The gift wrapping in gorgeous Fragonard bags is worth it alone!

Cacharel
Another mid-20th century label undergoing a revival, Cacharel (named for a bird from Provence's Camargue region) was founded in 1960 and unlike many fashion houses, remains a private company. It's best known for its floral-printed silk georgette dresses and perfumes like the airy orange blossom, rose, lily and jasmine-scented Anaïs Anaïs.

Shu Uemura
Curly fake eyelashes, lime-marmalade lip gloss (yep, it’s green), 71 shades of lipstick and badger-hair make-up brushes: this Japanese cosmetics boutique founded by the Hollywood make-up guru who painted Shirley MacLaine’s face in the film My Geisha (1962) is extraordinary. Treat yourself to a 1½-hour lesson (€150) at its make-up school.

L’Artisan Parfumeur
This artisan has been making exquisite original scents and candles for decades. The products are expensive but of very high quality and attractively packaged. There are more than half a dozen other outlets across town, as well as stands at the Galeries Lafayette and Le Printemps department stores.

Séphora
Séphora’s flagship store features more than 12,000 fragrances and cosmetics for your sampling pleasure. You can spend hours in here and will invariably come out with bags of stuff (and maybe a headache from all the scent in the air).
