Perfume shopping in Galeries Lafayette Haussmann in Paris (turn your settings to HD).
Your one-stop Paris perfume shopping paradise if you're short on time.
Lafayette Haussmann is surely the most beautiful, iconic building in Paris to house the largest array of niche and luxury perfume brands on the market.
The architecture in itself is well worth a visit, as well as the views from the gorgeous building's rooftop.
