The niche New York fragrance house has decided to go further afield for its new store

Niche fragrance house Vilhelm Parfumerie has opened its debut store in Paris.

The New York-based perfume brand was previously only available via its e-commerce platform and luxury retailers.

The French boutique in Paris' 'Golden Triangle' is inspired by the "atmosphere of a contemporary jewellery shop" and will expand to include a 'VIP area' featuring a cocktail bar.

A second store in Moscow, Russia, is also expected to open.

"This is the first time that we can fully immerse ourselves in the timeless universe of Vilhelm Parfumerie. It’s a tribute to Art Deco, but with a contemporary twist," said founder Jan Vilhelm Ahlgren.

The store includes wall panels wrapped in yellow vegan leather – Vilhelm Parfumerie's signature colour – and 1920s-inspired display cabinets.

A chandelier has also been created for Vilhelm Parfumerie. Weighing nearly a ton, the light display is made of 756 salvaged perfume bottles.
