FAQ
May I return perfume?
Not really. It's important to test the perfume before you buy. We sell samples of nearly every perfume, so you can test it on your skin before you buy it, or you can come into the shop to try perfumes for free. Once you purchase a fragrance, it's yours forever.
Are your perfumes safe?
All perfumes sold at The Marie-Marie meet the highest safety standards in the world through the regulation of all cosmetic products sold in the European Union. Independent testing is performed regularly, and standards are updated yearly. All perfumes must meet these standards to be sold legally in this region. We work with each brand to ensure these standards are met and continue to be met annually.
May I book a private consultation?
Yes. Our private consultations require a $250 non-refundable deposit per person per hour, which applies to the fragrances you select that day or in the future. You will have the store to yourself, led by your dedicated perfume expert, who will guide your experience. The consultation is limited to parties of one to four people with a maximum of two hours.
When will Marie-Marie be in the store?
Our precious mascot, Marie-Marie, is learning how to be a shop dog and how to behave like a lady. This means she will be in the store a few hours a week until she can handle the excitement. If you are lucky, you might see her soon.

About us
Not Our First Rodeo
Nicole has been working in fragrance since the 1990s at department stores and with her own line of candles. She opened her first perfume store in 2008 in Seattle and then a satellite location as a shop-in-shop here in Portland. Nicole and Henry are perfumers on their own and distribute many of the brands sold at The Marie-Marie.
The Real Marie-Marie
Marie-Marie Tropicana Spider Aesoph is Nicole and Henry's French Bulldog and our store mascot. She is one year old, small for her breed, with a blocky head, a funny long body, and a pouty lower lip. She likes eating farm-fresh greens and can have up to eight blueberries a day. She also loves perfume. We hope you get to meet her soon.
We Love You Portland!!!
The Marie-Marie is dedicated to Downtown Portland. We got lucky and found this perfect little store already set up to be a perfume store, so we added a coat of paint, and we're here to stay. We can't wait to meet you all and can't wait for you to wear your new fragrances to the next wrestling match, naked bicycle ride, rose garden walk, or just to stay at home and binge-watch Battlestar Galactica for the third time.

Ambré
Imagine yourself in a world so breathtaking where beauty rushes in from all directions, filling your heart with awe and delight. Each moment wraps you in a warm, quiet embrace that makes you feel loved and safe. But there’s more— beneath this serenity, there’s a pulse of strength. You feel so powerful. It feels as if everything that surrounds you, with all its complexity, lies at your feet, waiting for you to shape its destiny. Whatever you dream, the world will follow.
When getting lost in Ambré, each of us finds ourselves in a different place and time. What connects us is the air infused with the relaxing note of cacao, touched by a sprinkle of paprika and a hint of rum that keeps the spirit of adventure alive. Soft trails of dried fruits and oakwood settle around you, steadying your heartbeat once more. A flow of vanilla absolute and Indian sandalwood lingers, grounding you in comfort, while myrrh stirs an ancient strength.
