Entry No. 42 — the Philadelphia file — filed under: perfume

Olfactory

A Rittenhouse storefront organized around a wall of 45+ named fragrance notes where a trained scent advisor helps you build a perfume from raw components rather than sell you a finished bottle off a shelf.

The move: Walk in together (no deposit, ~$85 per scent, extended evening hours Fri–Sat until 8pm), sample and layer notes as a pair, then bottle and hand-label matching custom scents you couldn't buy anywhere else.
