Where is the shop in Palma and how do I find it?
The shop is in a small side street parallel to Passeig des Born in Palma, close to the city centre and the old town area. One reviewer said it is about 50 metres from the alley between well-known boutiques. The entrance is discreet, so it can be easy to miss from the street.
Can I sample the perfumes before buying?
Yes, sampling in-store is possible at Arquinesia Perfumes. Several visitors recommend testing the fragrances first, as some notes only unfold after 15 to 20 minutes. This is especially useful for the Mediterranean scents with fig or orange.
What do they sell besides perfume?
Besides perfumes, Arquinesia Perfumes also sells candles, soaps, lotions, shower gel, creams and travel sets. Reviews also mention decorative bottles and clay tablets. The range is focused on fragrance and body-care products and is presented across several rooms.
How long should I plan for a visit?
One review said a first visit took about 30 minutes. If you want to test fragrances carefully or look through several rooms, it is sensible to allow a little longer. As the presentation is spread across multiple areas, a relaxed walk-through works well.
Are the prices and fragrance longevity known?
One reviewer listed July 2025 prices of €98 to €150 for 100 ml perfumes, and a 50 ml scent from the new “Memories” line at €149. As for longevity, one report said an orange fragrance lasted through an entire evening of walking and dinner. Another note said the scent develops after about 15 to 20 minutes.
Is Arquinesia Perfumes easy to find or rather hidden?
Several visitors describe the entrance as rather discreet because the shop is in a small side street. That is practical if you are already in the Passeig des Born area, but from the main street it is worth checking the house number and the understated entrance. The Google rating is 4.7 from 164 reviews.
