History
The Perfume Shop started in 1992. When bought by Merchant Retail Group plc in 1991, it was originally called EauZone. Eauzone had six stores but three were closed down immediately, with only Guildford, Portsmouth and Basingstoke being retained. That year, The Perfume Shop also opened in Meadowhall, Sheffield and The Glades Shopping Centre, Bromley (now Intu). Typically, The Perfume Shop trades from smaller shops than many other retailers and they averaged 400 square feet. Half of their sales came in the six weeks before Christmas. It became a classic brick and mortar operation with both high street shops and a website.
