  1. A

    Perfumería de Tacuba

    This place has remained firmly in ‘50s mold, with its shelves of old-fashioned bottles containing perfume essences. You can pick up a 10g vial of perfume – a sniff at just M$3.50. At that price it may be worth trying out a few more, with tantalizing names like ‘honey’, ‘vogue’, ‘cappuccino’ and, er, ‘Christmas’.
