Editorial Review for Beyond Scents – by Lilla Zuckerman
The Scene
This tiny store is crammed with adorable and feminine gift ideas, which are arranged on tables, shelves, display cases, and every available square inch of surface space. Behind the glass counter, a perfumery is reminiscent of an apothecary, with vials and jars of scented bath products.
The Goods
Scented lotions, hair products, and massage oils, custom mixed from more than 70 essential oils are the main draw here. These original scents can also create colognes or burn in the stylized oil lamps that store carries. There are hundreds of gift ideas, for anyone from infancy to twilight years--provided they are female. Pick from jewel-encrusted photo frames, ornate, flowery tea sets, lacquered jewelry boxes, beautiful soap sets, and unique candles, to name a few. Prints from artist Sybil Shane are among the store's best-sellers. Naturally, distinctive note cards and thank you cards are in abundance.
