Penny Lane Perfumes, Niche Perfumery, Exquisite Perfumes & Colognes for Men and Women, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches
Fragrances, colognes, perfumes…they are an “essential element to any wardrobe”. But, as I write this post I know that some women and men don’t wear colognes, at all, for a variety of reasons, including job related reasons. I have a friend that doesn’t wear perfume because “I am allergic to bees”. Okay… Next, another friend just only wears perfume once in a blue moon. Then, I have the ones that stick just to one cologne and that’s it; a signature.
This past Monday, remember, when it was pouring and lightning and water spouts going through Dewey?…..well, Susan and I were inside a perfume shop that I had heard about the year before. We did not have a care in the world and proceeded to make ourselves at home.
Penny Lame Perfumes is located at 42 Rehoboth Ave., Penny Lane, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-226-2444. Website? http://www.pennylaneperfumes.com. Please check the website to know more about this interesting shop.
Penny Lane, Downtown Rehoboth Beach
The owner is Cindy Carey. She was not there on Monday, but Cassandra Parker was. My friend, Susan, actually, knows both of them. Introductions were made. Cassandra proceeded to tell us more about their products.
Originally, I thought they customize fragrances to suit your style. But, no, that’s not it. Niche Perfumery is an alternative to mass perfume production. Niche houses are showing up everywhere. I think it is because we are all so tired of being, as Susan said, geared to brand names. Niche houses tend to have their own perfumer in charge of the fragrances of the house, just like it was was in years past.
I wear perfume every single day. No kidding. I love it. I usually tend to buy frangrances that are green, sporty, and light.
This post is written with gentlemen in mind, as well. Penny Lane Perfumes has beautiful perfumes for men, also. Men can go through the same process as women. Just like Susan and I did. Test, test, and more testing. Don’t be shy, Cassandra is an expert.
Casandra helped us discover a “world of liquid emotion”. While I would say no to one fragrance, Susan would love it.
There are over 200 fragrances in the store; exotic flowers, spices and rare woods. You can wear them by themselves or combine them with other fragrances for a real customized scent. That was the best part, just trying to achieve that scent.
We tried so many of them. We also had the coffee beans on hand to neutralized odors, as well.
Niche Perfumery is sold only by distributors and approved retailers.
I fell in love with one called Premier Figuier Extreme from L’Artisan Parfumeur from Paris. It was light and delicious. That’s how I would describe it.
Then, went a little outside the box with one from Paris, as well, called Montale; Roses Musk. Also light.
Susan, on the other hand picked Opus with a very earthy scent.
These perfumes are meant to last a long time. Just spray in the morning and you are good to go for the whole day. Trying them on is a must, because they really adjust to your own body.
When trying fragrances, spray, but do not rub.
Penny Lane Perfumes has gift certificates available, as well.
Leaving, knowing that we would, definitely, come back…Susan and I wanted the same thing, an uncommon, personal fragrance. I think we got it!!
Talk to you later….

Gloria,
I really enjoyed you and Susan that stormy rainy day. We did have fun! I love going thru the perfume journey with each person that comes in. Just that look in their eye, when they know, that’s their new scent!
What a wonderful blog you have and a great talent. Thank-you so much for sharing our story.
Warm Regards
Cassandra
Hi Cassandra: It definitely was fun. My choices and your suggestions were perfect. Hope to see you soon.
Nice article! I’ve been to this niche perfume shop several times and can’t seem to get enough. Did you try the Mona di Orio fragrances? So wonderful, award-winning, and capped like a champagne stopper– I think this line will be my next purchase “)
I don think I did, but definitely will try next time. My friend Susan agreed with you…it could be our next addiction. Thanks for your comments to my blog.
