We went to three places, four of you count the High end Duty Free at terminal D at Vancouver international Airport aka YVR. SCENTRIQUE: https://www.scentrique.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorqeL71l6C34eVWnYzKaEdJ5ybFxz9qLqq0AnMu4gOxmKDHzHe2 Great location and customer service. Retail space itself is small so can get crowded really quickly. We got lucky on our second trip that we were the only ones in the store and so we're able to really get our noses on the fragrances without without it distraction until somebody came in and sampled all of the strongest fragrances in the place. Gris Carnal for days. They have a really great and friendly business model where they'll create travel-sized decals for you on the spot, and we're by far the most reasonable in terms of cost. A good selection of pretty accessible niche and some smaller indie fragrances. Was glad to know they stopped both Untamed and Biblioteque de Parfums which I had discovered independently of their Discovery sets. While I can reliably order any of the latter directly from them the former, it might be easier to get their stuff from this place than their online store 10 out of 10. Disclaimer: I haven't established relationship with them as I am a monthly subscriber to their Discovery set which is my way of getting to sample so much Niche stuff where I live. The Perfume Shop:https://www.theperfumeshoppecanada.com/ Another small but mighty little shop run by a wonderful lady who knows her stuff and was quite willing to let me sample what she had and educate me a little bit. The only downside was no travel size or even samples to purchase based on her business model. Real pro of this little spot was that it had a little bit more Middle Eastern and other Niche like Memo Paris, and Ojar were two that I was excited to see. 9/10. Will be back for sure and likely order from her website for stuff I wouldn't easily find at any discounter.

— I might have to look into this one : ** A classic just got a little stronger. Dolce & Gabbana took the DNA of the original Light Blue and pushed it into a more concentrated Eau de Parfum version. Same Mediterranean energy... just with a little more presence. Right from the start you get that signature lemon and grapefruit burst. Bright, zesty, and clean - like fresh citrus cutting through ocean air. Then the fragrance settles into a crisp green apple heart. That juicy apple note is what gives Light Blue its recognizable freshness. It's slightly sweet but still very airy and refreshing. In the drydown, rosemary comes through with a subtle herbal edge that keeps everything feeling masculine, clean, and natural. Notes Breakdown Top Notes: Lemon, Grapefruit Middle Notes: Green Apple Base Notes: Rosemary Main Accords: Citrus • White Floral • Musky • Green & How it smells: Fresh citrus and apple with a light herbal backbone. Bright, clean, and effortless. Q: Best for: - Summer - Daytime - Beach / vacation - Easy everyday wear Light Blue has always been one of the most recognizable summer fragrances in the designer world, and this EDP version keeps that DNA while giving it a little more strength and longevity. **
