This wasn’t just a perfumery, it was an experience with a 1900’s ambiance. Tucked away in Portland, I found a space where scent becomes story, and self-care feels sacred. If you’re in Chicago, you might recognize The Marie + Marie from our local shops, but being there in person was something else. I explored rare fragrances from across the globe, heard the founder’s story, and left with a scent summer scent. There’s something intimate about choosing a fragrance because it’s personal, almost like claiming a version of yourself.
