General Curiosity about stores and meetups

I am curious, for anyone that may live in the DC to Central Virginia area, do you know of any stores that sell just fragrances? The only real choices I have relatively close is Dillard's, Ulta, and Saks. Every now and then Kohls will surprise me but the best I have found there was Eros Najim, highly recommend if you haven't tried it yet.

I would love to see a fragrance store that has the vibe of a cigar shop where you could walk in and talk fragrances with the employees and they would know what they were talking about. I went by Saks tonight and one of the Sales women tried to sell me on a bottle of Creed Queen of Silk. It didn't smell bad but clearly a woman's fragrance and she had no idea.

Is there anything like that in the area?

Also does anyone in the fragrence world do any kind of meetups or is there any kind of fragrance conference/conventions?
