Hové Parfumeur

Back in May, I was walking around the quarter with my friend after a meal at The Napoleon House, and we saw this cool little place. Both being fans of all things scents, we decided to hop in and take a look! Open since 1931, this is a family run shop that has lots of history, and lots to offer. In the back, has a little clothing boutique (I didnt see anything for men, or anything close to my size for that matter), so I stayed up front, where they offer all sorts of home and beauty products. One thing I would like to mention is that when it comes to scents, I usually enjoy anything that is vanilla or bourbon or shame forward. This store really doesn't have those, which is cool, because it expanded my horizons on my scent smelling game.They have all of their scents available to smell, and the friendly staff will help you if you have any questions. For that trip, I got a few things for my mom (as it was her birthday that week) and she enjoyed them thoroughly. I loved the gift bag I got it in. Even one guy on the street laughed at me since I was carrying it around, but I think he was just jealous!I came back the week of my birthday (in early Dec) to get some more treats, and to see what else they had to offer. They had a few seasonal scents (including Fir) which I had stocked up on. It was nice to go back- and it was funny too, since this is usually a place that dudes don't go in there solo, but hell, to each their own. If you are a fan of scents and are looking for a local gift from a company that has been around for almost 100 years, I highly recommend checking out! You might even find something for yourself in there (maybe one day I will for me, just not the clothes!). Not to be missed!

the atmosphere, and of course the ! The owner was working behind the counter and she was . the original scents she had were a broad range of gourmand to musk to spicy! She really captured a scent for every . I ended up with a lovely vanilla blend. Need more!

What a special store. Perfect place to get a new perfume that is so well made! I smell like a million dollars now

Excellent experience. A family owned establishment which I was impressed with. I purchased 3 fragrances that I thought amazing. The beautiful young lady (next generation) that helped me was extremely knowledgeable about everything there. Everyone should experience the world of fragrance and stop in!

What a gem! On our recent trip to New Orleans we had this on our list of places to visit and it did not disappoint. First off we are big fragrance lovers, we used to work for high end fragrance brands and had an Apothecary so we know what we like. The service was stellar and the lovely gal working took her time with us and was beyond accommodating even as others walked in. It was my husband, sister and beautiful mother we all ended up each buying a beautiful perfume. The scents are unique. exquisite and luxurious, there is something for everyone here and I highly suggest you pop in when you're in New Orleans.

Such a lovely shop Hove is. I fell in love with the unique scents in here immediately. I heard about the history of this place and wanted to check it out all the more. It has a very old-world charm about it. With so many fascinating choices, it was a tough call. I settled on the Tea Olive for now. I also purchased Vetiver Root, which was a welcomed alternative to store my clothing. It beats the hell out of moth balls. The saleslady Greta was friendly, helpful, and personable. She made us feel welcomed and was very knowledgeable about the products in the store. If you want beautiful and unique fragrances, Hove is definitely the place.

Lovely scents, my favorite being the jasmine. Which if you ve read Jitterbug Perfume you'll know why I sought this one.

Love this shop. Customer service was great. They helped me find an awesome new perfume that I love. I also love the historical part of this business. Must visit when in the French Quarter.Heliotrophe was a winner for me. Floral Vanilla.

I have shopped there for years for the Vetiver Soap and Tea Olive Soap. Something there has happened. The once fine French style milled soap is no longer sold and the replacement soap is a totally different glycerin style. The person who waited on my adult daughter and I got very rude when we asked her about the change. I'm going to try another perfumeur in the French Quarter next time.
