When you step into Bellini’s Skin + Parfumerie, you’re not just shopping for a fragrance— you’re embarking on a Scent Journey.
From the moment you walk through our doors, whether you’re greeted by one of our knowledgeable estheticians, a member of our friendly front staff, or perhaps even the owner herself, you’ll be guided through an experience that’s as unique and special as the scents we offer. And one of them is the perfect fragrance that complements your unique essence.
What Exactly Is A ‘Scent Journey’?
Your scent journey begins with a conversation. Our Scent Journey is a personalized, immersive experience designed to help you find a fragrance that resonates with you on a deep level. We’ll chat about the scents you’re typically drawn to or what you’re curious to explore; what scents have you loved in the past? Are you looking to switch things up, or are you new to the world of perfume? And don’t worry—whether you’re a perfume novice or a seasoned aficionado, we’re here to help you navigate the world of fragrances. Our helpful visual fragrance wheel, which makes it easy to pinpoint your scent interests—your “scenterest,” if you will.
At Bellini’s, we believe in creating a relaxed and luxurious experience. We’ll take care of holding the bottles and doing the spritzing for you, allowing you to simply enjoy the experience. This also helps prevent your nose from becoming overwhelmed too quickly, so you can truly savor each scent.
Once we have a sense of your fragrance personality, one of our fragrance experts will guide you through the selection process. This isn’t just about picking up bottles and sniffing caps; we do the spritzing for you, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the experience. By letting us handle the bottles, you’ll also avoid overwhelming your senses too quickly.
A Personalized Experience
Before we dive into sampling, we’ll discuss your budget. Falling in love with a scent outside your price range can be heartbreaking, so we offer a wide range of options, from $50 to $400+. Rest assured, no matter your budget, you can find a stunning fragrance at Bellini’s.
We’ll begin your journey by spritzing a few perfumes that caught your eye or brought you in—whether it’s a popular fragrance you’ve seen on TikTok or something that’s suddenly piqued your interest. Then, we’ll suggest additional scents based on your preferences. This is where the fun truly begins! You might discover that you don’t love what you thought you would, or you might be pleasantly surprised by something new. It’s all part of the process. With the guidance of our knowledgeable staff, we’ll help you narrow down your choices to three to five fragrances.
The Final Step: Putting It To the Test
Once you’ve narrowed it down, even more, to your top one or two favorites, we’ll spritz them on your skin—sometimes even three if you’re really just in love with them all— lucky you! This step is vital because how a scent interacts with your skin can make all the difference.
Sometimes, you’ll know immediately that you’ve found your scent. Other times, it takes a little longer. We encourage you to take a stroll around our shop, check out our skincare products, or even get a facial. You might even want to step outside, grab a coffee, or have lunch while the fragrance settles on your skin. This way, you can experience how it evolves in real life.
When you’ve found the one, we’ll package it up beautifully for you. And because we want you to feel confident in your choice, we’ll include a sample of your selected scent to use before opening the full bottle. If, for any reason, the fragrance doesn’t feel right after a few wears, you can exchange it for another—what we like to call fragrance insurance. While we don’t offer refunds or returns on opened fragrances, any unused portion can be applied as store credit towards your next fragrance find.
A Few Tips To Enhance Your Scent Journey
-
Come Fragrance-Free:
Wearing a scent beforehand can interfere with the final step of trying perfumes on your skin. We want to ensure that nothing masks the true essence of the fragrances you’re testing.
-
Skip the Coffee Beans:
Unlike big department stores, we don’t use coffee beans to “reset” your nose. In reality, they can actually confuse your sense of smell. Instead, we recommend smelling the inside of your shirt to reset your olfactory palate—it’s as personal as it gets!

Finding The Balance Between Budget & Fragrance
Your budget plays a significant role in finding the perfect scent. Remember, the quality of a fragrance often correlates with its price. A good rule of thumb is the lower-priced perfumes tend to be lighter and more intimate, while higher-end options might offer greater longevity and a more powerful presence. But no matter your budget, Bellini’s guarantees a luxurious experience and a scent you’ll love.
Remember, our fragrance insurance ensures that you can try out your scent at home before fully committing. The sample we provide has 15-20 sprays, giving you ample opportunity to fall in love with your chosen perfume. If it’s unopened, you can exchange it for another if it doesn’t feel like the right fit. While we don’t offer refunds or returns, any difference in price can be applied as store credit toward your next fragrance adventure.
Here, at Bellini’s Skin + Parfumerie, finding your signature scent is more than just a purchase— it’s an experience, a journey, and most importantly, it’s about finding something that feels uniquely you.
