Purchase perfume?
 
I would like to buy Antilope perfume by Weil. Does anyone know where to get it please?

Try the department stores like Galleries Lafayette. There are some duty free perfume places on Rue Di Rivoli. I like a chain called Marionard. Lots of places to buy perfume in Paris. Although, I am unfamilier with this brand.

Thanks, Suzanne. There is a Galleries Lafayette on Champs Elysee where we are staying. I will check it out.

Oh my goodness. That's the perfume I bought on my first trip to Paris in 1960, and I am sure I got it in Galerie Lafayette. Do they really still make it? I loved it - will have to look next trip. Talk about a mental trip to the past.

Not that I know of. It's always been on the Boulevard Haussman, to my knowledge.

palette - the first perfume I bought in Paris in 1960 was
New Mown Hay by (IIRC) Guerlain. I'd love to be able to
buy it now but I think it's gone the way of the dodo.

Ah, scents and sensibilities.

palette,
How about that? Small world. I bought it on a whim the first time here in the states and have looked for it ever since. I will try to go to the Galerie Lafayette.I'm hoping they still have it. It's a really unique scent. I like it!

I just got a reply from the perfume mendo on the net:

"Sorry, the perfume has not been made for sometime now. We only have the cologne."

Darn!!
