Looking for the best perfumery in the Netherlands?

Scent does something few other things can: it takes you back, in a single breath, to a place, a moment, a feeling. It's a kind of magic, and at Perfume Lounge, we believe everyone deserves to experience it. A beautiful perfume is so much more than a "scent" — it's your most personal accessory, an expression of identity: invisible, yet unmistakably present.

Since 2009, we've been dedicated to niche perfumery. We bring in houses that have something to say — small ateliers, stubborn perfumers, brands you won't find anywhere else. That's exactly why customers and connoisseurs often call us the best perfumery in the Netherlands: we choose carefully, and we know every bottle we sell inside and out.

What makes us the best perfumery in the Netherlands

Perfume is our sole focus. That focus gives us the room to go deep — to know the nose behind a composition, the story behind a fragrance, how different ingredients smell and interact. Ask our team a question, and you'll get a genuine, expert answer.

On our shelves, the bold extracts of Orto Parisi and Nasomatto sit alongside the classic elegance of Parfums MDCI and the natural fragrances of Hiram Green. Every brand has a story, and we love telling it. Our customers reward that with a 4.9 out of 5 on Google — a score we're secretly quite proud of.

Our boutique in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid

Our shop is located at Cornelis Krusemanstraat 25 in Amsterdam: quiet, light-filled, with room to think. Come in, take a seat, enjoy a cup of coffee. Together, we'll talk through your scent preferences and what you're looking for. Even if you're not sure exactly what that is, the right questions usually get us there. We'll help you narrow down a first selection and test fragrances on paper strips to find what suits you, before trying anything on your skin.

Open Tuesday to Friday (10:00–18:00), Saturday (11:00–17:00), and Monday (13:00–18:00).
