I've searched NYC, LA and London for such a place, but this is the first time I've found it, and it's even better than I anticipated. What you have in this small shop on the Mercaderes is ~12 traditionally extracted plant essences (lavender, violet, tobacco), and ~19 other extracts (citrus, etc), all available to smell on strips or on the skin. You can purchase extracts in a range of different containers, from small vials up to large (very old style) chemist flasks, that are absolute beautiful, especially when corked and sealed in wax. You can also consult with a perfumist who learns your preferences and attitudes and helps you to find a perfect combination of ingredients for your unique scent. All of this takes place in a beautiful old laboratory lit with natural light from a massive stained glass window, coloring a water feature in the back of the shop.

Amazing place, these are the perfums that reminds me Cuba

Very nice place to visit and waste your time. Perfumes smells nice but duration of perfumes is terrible. I bought 3 different but make a big mistake. If you like to much any of these perfumes buy only one and smallest, because they are no for real use, after one hour the smell dissappear.

This store is a must if you are looking for something unique to bring home for someone special. All of their fragrances are all natural and mixed in house. The staff is very friendly and will help you pick out exactly what you are looking for. They will also take extra care when they wrap it to ensure it will travel safely. My wife loved her gift so much!

Yes! I have my own Perfume! Last January 2019 I was in Havana, Cuba and went to the Colonias Habana 1791. The service was very good. The personnel was attentive. My perfume smells amazingly!!

Beautiful shop, beautiful perfumes. Bought the Dulce Havana for both my husband and my son and they really like it. Bought the Cubano Elegante for myself and love it.

Wow! Amazing store!!! Really fun, stop here and check it out

Loved their scents so much! Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, wonderful shop and just a wonderful ambiance. Prices are also beyond reasonable!

We all bought perfume to take home here! So many beautiful smells + you get to pick your own bottle. They will seal it up so that it stays intact on plane flights home.

Went here today at 4pm and it was closed. Google says they’re open til 6pm 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good place, good product. Only problem is with the one I bought, it seems to evaporate through he wooden stopper. Not a problem if you change the bottle to something more modern and airtight but I certainly lost a lot of liquid from this flaw. Can’t get a refill online unfortunately either.
