The sights and sounds of New Orleans are often spoken highly of by travelers, but now visitors to The Crescent City can treat their noses to luxury as well. Avery Fine Perfumery has established itself as the premiere perfumer of the city, and people have been coming to this small boutique in search of hard-to-find fragrances.

Avery is named after the aviary, alluding to their scents as birds on display in their storefront windows, with the vibrant colors certainly back up the idea, and their selection has some rare specimens indeed. Exclusive brands here include Agonist, Morgane Le Fay, Profumi del Forte and countless others. All are displayed in a fashion very much the opposite of the pressures applied to customers in department stores. Browse at your own discretion, or let yourself be drawn to the Dressing Table in the heart of the store to further explore their offerings.

Avery is fittingly located within the Art District of New Orleans, but if you can’t make it to their brick-and-mortar location, there are plenty of perfumes available through their website. The store, however, grants you access to their well-trained and knowledgeable staff, who is sure to have a wealth of information to help you choose just the right gift for that someone special this holiday season.
