My last question about Montreal: Shopping for Scents
 

Hello Everyone,

This may sound like a strange question but is there any particular place in Montreal that specializes in lavender and potpourri items?

I am not looking for a store like LUSH, which is more about soaps and bath bombs, or L'OCCITANE, which is available in the NYC.

Looking more for local Quebec brands--if they exist--for these scent items.

Thank you very much!

There is a nice Quebec chain called Dans un jardin (check out their website--same name, .com), which has lavender, other herb/floral/fruit scented items, and which has branches in Place Ville Marie and Place Montreal Trust. Very good products, nice gifts. There are also 2 Lush stores, one on St-Denis, the other on St-Catherine near Drummond St.

Lois,

Dans un jardin sounds like just the thing I am looking for...thank you!

They certainly will sell lavender & potpourri... have some great "other" soaps and perfumes as well... check out Senteurs de Provence on rue Saint-Denis (it's somewhere between Duluth and Marie-Anne Streets).

Dans Un Jardin is fabulous, you'll love it.
There is also Fruits et Passions, less extensive than DUJ but worth looking at.
Fruits et Passions have a store on St. Denis street and another one at the underground mall connecting to the Eaton Center.

re: suede boots; I saw some at all the stores we discussed on previous posts, a lot of fall merchandise arrived this week !!!

Can't wait for my trip to Montreal...only 6 more days...YIPEE!

All the retailers are waiting for you Bettyo, lol, you picked a fine time to visit; hopefully the weather forecast will be the best.
We all want fabulous weather for the long weekend....

There are two L'Occitaine shops in Montreal

1000 LAURIER O, OUTREMONT and
4972 RUE SHERBROOKE OUEST, WESTMOUNT

There are also two in Toronto which I regularly shop at.

Jim,

Thanks for your input! We have L'Occitane in NYC (acutally several), so I'm on the search for places that are unique to Montreal/Quebec.

Cheers! Only 4 more days...
