I can’t recommend highly enough to visit this comptoir, for the quality of the product and excellence of service - in particular with our associate Mariano. Luxury retail is an experience, and the one created at Santa Maria is unlike any other I’ve witnessed, from the lighting to the cabinetry design to the product packaging to the flooring. Everything feels bespoke to this space. A great salesperson forms a relationship and tells a story, and Mariano did both - whether his own personal life story or his experiences in the fragrance world to the ancient history of the brand and how it connects to today. A great salesperson also understands trust in the customer, and Mariano exemplified that by guiding us away from scents that do not fit our profile and letting us test scents for a day before settling on which worked best for us. It is the type of professionalism and personal attention that epitomises the luxury experience and is often forgotten in the modern retail experience. I came to the story with next to no knowledge of fragrances and came away with an incredible experience, a lovely memory, and a desire to learn more in the future.

We had the best experience at this beautiful store during my visit to Paris. I am relatively new to the scents of this storied brand and Mariano helped me navigate the scents and soaps. Mariano is a gem. He made us laugh and I thoroughly enjoyed the immersive experience he created for me and my brother. I went home with Cinquante and several soaps. I look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you Mariano for all your knowledge of the brand. You are a gem.

The new Santa Maria Novella boutique on rue St Honoré is absolutely sublime and the quality of Mariano's personalized service matches the excellence of the products.

I am fascinated by Santa Maria Novella's history and love their offering. When I read about the boutique reopening, I made a point to visit after Christmas. Mariano, a very friendly and professional sales associate, walked me through spicy, woody and chypre fragrances. He knew exactly what I was looking for and suggested Marescialla. After a skin test and walk around the block, it was LOVE!!! The store is immaculate and, as a huge perfume fanatic, I can say without reservation that it is worth a visit and don't be shy to ask Mariano for his recommendation because he has keen insight and knows the collection very well. Thank you for a memorable experience and hope to visit next time I'm in Paris.
