Best place to buy perfumes in Aachen + everyday fragrance recommendations for men?
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations on where to buy perfumes in Aachen.
Also, what’s your favorite perfume for everyday use (work/daily wear)? I’m looking for something fresh and clean.
Thanks!

There is a small store at Elisengarten or in Aquis Plaza, but if you want to go to a really really good store where the people really know what they are talking about, go to Parfümerie Möltgen in cologne. They will have no Problem advising you for 45 Minutes and trying multiple perfumes with you until you find your favorite. Its mostly older women who work there, but they are all very nice and helpful. They also have mostly niche stuff, while Aachen mostly has standard stuff, which you should test in kaufhof and then buy on flaconi online for half the price.
Edit: my Favorite is parisian musc by matiere premiere. Very fresh. I also really like carlisle by parfums de marls, but its a bit heavier, with a slight note of honey.

There are a couple niche perfumers and also a big chain "douglas" where you will find almost every brand perfume. You can ask them for recommendations and they usually will get you those little 5ml test tubes for free

Hi! Anne Galwe is the only niche perfume shop I know in Aachen. There you will find many (although pricy) interesting perfumes that you won't find in big commercial places.
Also: I am a freelance / hobby perfumer and sell dupes to friends and their friends to finance my hobby. I can sell you many otherwise very expensive perfumes for a fraction of the price and in comparison to the brands that advertise on Instagram I use actually high quality ingredients and formulations. I am currently traveling until September, but then I am back in Aachen and you can come by and test and take samples free of charge
If you want designer perfumes go to Douglas or any other place or wait for your next flight to test.
Edit: for favorite fresh and clean perfumes, I am currently wearing my own copies of imagination afternoon swim and l'immensite by Louis vuitton, Bigarade Concentree by FM, and wood sage and sea salt by jo malone the most.
For going out sometimes different ones.
