BARCELONA | THE PERFUMERY is more than a perfume shop, It’s a small place full of grace in the heart of the old city in Barcelona. THE PERFUMERY is delicately located in the middle of what used to be a very narrow street between the III C. walls of the ancient fortified city of Barcelona. The finest selection of perfumes and cosmetics are preserved inside exquisite bottles showcased in the antique walls. Such a good idea to mix art and perfume.

THE PERFUMERY’s collection includes eternal perfumers that date back to 1600, such RANCÉ who created fragrances for Napoleon and became his favourite perfumer. Nowadays, a new generation of RANCÉ still make the same original formula, updated for modern clients, adding innovation to the prestige of tradition.

Another sophisticated and original perfume, KINSKI, created as a homage to the german actor Klaus Kinski, who was a man of unexpected behaviour and a little bit crazy.
