Senteurs d’Ailleurs

Place Stéphanie houses the two prestigious boutiques of Senteurs d'Ailleurs. What started in 1997 as a family business with products from Provence, has grown into the largest haute parfumerie & haute cosmétique in Europe. It’s a fountain of designer fragrances, rare pearls and exclusive labels. It all sounds very exclusive but rest assured, the team is extremely helpful and approachable.

Songes Parfumés

Tolga has been passionate about perfume since childhood. Following the success of his @ntscents fragrance review account on Instagram and his podcast L'Instant Parfumé podcast, he explored incense sites in Oman, rose fields in Turkey and various perfume fairs worldwide. These journeys finally led to the realisation of his dream: the opening of his haute parfumerie boutique, Songes Parfumés, on place du Châtelain in Ixelles. At Songes Parfumés, every detail, from the intimate decor to the meticulous selection of exceptional fragrances, offers an immersive experience and an unforgettable sensory journey.

Smell Stories

You could never call Smell Stories an ordinary perfumery. This quirky address in the trendy Quartier Saint-Jacques is a concept store dedicated to scent. You’ll find home sprays, scented candles, soaps, incense and even laundry detergent. You won't find any commercial, elite brands here. Instead there are plenty of original and affordable creations by independent scent artists that you won't find anywhere else. Good to know: their products are presented within their family of fragrances — not using the traditional classifications of brand and gender.

Enough said!

Boutique Sorcière : Delbôve Botanical Skincare

Brussels cosmetics brand Delbôve has quite the backstory. It all started in the 1960s. Roger was a famous hairdresser; his wife Marion had a beauty salon. Dissatisfied with the products available at the time, she created her own face cream with the help of a biochemist and phytotherapist. It turned out to be a magic formula and the range was appropriately named 'Sorcière'. In 2011, two loyal customers decided to help write the next chapter to this success story. Highly recommended!

Cosmeticary

The small beauty boutique Cosmeticary is in the fashionable Dansaert district, close to the former stock exchange building. At the helm are Jean and Nina. They love guiding customers through the world of make-up and skincare. Some brands are exclusive to Cosmeticary.

Les Savonneries Bruxelloises

Soap making company Savonneries Bruxelloises came into being almost a century ago. The factory was — and still is — just a stone’s throw from Tour & Taxis: ideal for exporting goods. Since 2016, the company has been able to proudly call itself supplier to the Royal Court of Belgium. Just before the COVID crisis struck, two young Brussels entrepreneurs took up the challenge of continuing the company, while fully respecting its traditions. You'll find them in the Royal Saint-Hubert galleries, in the heart of Brussels. From now on, wash your hands thoroughly with authentic Brussels soap!

Here, tradition and innovation go hand in hand and choices are made with passion and ethics in mind. Terms like minimalism, zero-waste, short-chain, and re-energising the body and mind fit seamlessly with their approach and philosophy.
