Harrods has transformed its sixth floor into a fragrance paradise by launching Salon de Parfums. Lets take a closer look at the destination that features the world’s finest and rarest scents alongside exclusive bespoke perfume creation and personalisation services. The Knightsbridge department store in London has raised the bar by reserving an exclusive section for fine fragrances akin to fine jewelry division.
Spanning over 5,090 square foot space, the Salon de Parfums accomdates 11 shop-in-shops for Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford, Ex Nihilo, Kilian, Xerjoff and the likes. More exclusivity is infused by featuring a “fragrance gallery” which is edited by Harrods. This section is home to exclusive-to-Harrods collection that includes Dead of Night, Liquides Imaginaires, and Thomas Kosmala.
Limited-edition bottles from brands such as Bottega Veneta and Ferragamo also are entitled to a private limited section.
The transformation of the sixth floor, which was once reserved for personal shopping team and security offices, has been done by MPA Architects. It has been designed in heavenly themed interiors with gray and white central hall, shiny ceramic floor tiles, and a softly vaulted ceiling.
To add exceptional significance, each brand has designed its own interiors. 4,500 paper origami roses adorn the walls of the Dior space while that of Henry Jacques resembles a private apartment in Paris, with parquet floors and curtains embroidered with gold thread.
We have already mentioned about Clive Christian honoring the opening with a 24-carat gold and diamond covered crystal bottle filled with an ounce of the brand’s No. 1 perfume which is the world’s most expensive scent. WWD also reports that to mark the opening, Kilian Hennessy has created a one-off fragrance called One Night in Knightsbridge. Made from the prized Taif rose it seils for 15,000 pounds, or $24,000. He is also offering a bespoke fragrance service for 30,000 pounds, or $47,800.
