Just want to say I love Delphinique's Scents and Scentsability and Eprise's Ye Olfactory. Very, very clever indeed.

Oooooh sorry...Delphinque I did not mean to duplicate. You did write down Scents & Scentsibility first....my bad. I was just writing them down as they came to me & must have glossed through yours.


Thank you for pointing that out Noelle

Thanks Noelle!

Scentablyrs - no problem, I also inadvertantly duplicated from others..

This thread's been on my mind - on the way home thought of:

I don't know what to say except that you guys are absolutely wonderful. And I agree, I'm having a lot fun reading this, and I'm glad that you guys are having fun coming up with them. Props to me for originality of topic and using the internet creatively for business. If anyone is thinking of buying something, it doesn't hurt to at least get my price for it. Just PM me. OOOH, and in keeping with tradition of this forum, I'd like to announce that I'm enjoying Givency Pi, my signature scent, right now.

Sorry about the above, the only addition I made are the last two sentences.

W/o having to explore the site, before hitting 'reply' how does one set-off the previous post, or the part of the
other post that one is responding to? TIA

So many good suggestions.

I always thought if I opened a perfume shop, I would name it miasma, as I like opposites, and the name which means a foul odor would be the opposite of what would be inside. But most people won't know that.

Although I am hard pressed to top many of the suggestions (especially Scentsablyurs' Perfume Dungeon) I think we should keep in mind

1. If people dogpile or google, having 'perfume' in the title will make it easier for the search engines and

2. Businesses with hyphens are 227% more successful than businesses without hyphens. Look what happened to Star-bucks® after they became Starbucks®. Closing five hundred stores. With that in mind, my suggestions are:

Perfume-A-Rama

Perfume Au-Go-Go / Perfume A-Go-Go.

I would register both Au-Go-Go and A-Go-Go to deter copycats. And with Perfume Au-Go-Go you have the added benefit of having a theme song! Just ask Mick to change the lyrics a little. He did it for Ed Sullivan...

Better yet! Perfume Dungeon Au-Go-Go! If that isn't a scented invitation to tie me up and tie me down, I don't know what is.

what kind of perfume shop? high-end, niche, like aedes and roja dove's haute parfumerie, or a discount shop?

also, who's your customer?

and, will it be located in an interesting area that could give it part of its name?

Some marketing advice from this graying graphic designer:

~ Set yourself apart
~ Make your name easy to spell and pronounce and fun to say
~ Choose a name with passion and a positive attitude
~ Consider action verbs, not just stationary nouns
~ Choose a name consumers can remember
~ Think about signage and the visual impact of your name
~ Think about advertising potential and your name as logofont or used with a logo
~ Shorter names are better than longer ones
~ Avoid names with numbers in them
Catie Ribbons
I do love Sniff and Splash!.
And I would love being able to say I shopped at a store with either name.
Ah, I still think Sniff just rolls so well.
Vetiveronica

Some advice from a young woman who considers herself to be a marketing expert:

Apply to a commercial postal forwarding service. You can have the cache of a prestigious address on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris or Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills without the astronomical rent. And you don't need to infer your hoity-toity location in your www.yournamehere.com because everyone will think your chauffeur is actually driving you to work in a Rolls. Your clientele will expect to pay more for your wares, too! Even if you are opening a brick-and-mortar storefront, think of the advantages of saying to a customer, "Excuse me while I check with our branch in Dubai." Singapore. London. The world is your oyster.

Two more suggestions:

Sniff-Au-Go-Go (of Paris).

Splash!-A-Rama (of Beverly Hills).

Wow! Those just reek of class. Or maybe they just reek. But they don't have any numbers in them!

I just love this thread and love naming things.

Just a few thoughts before I give my list (have only one in my head so far but it will flow in a mo)
In Ireland Sillage is cattle fodder! wacko.gif Alway think about what the name means in other languages. It can be a bad an unprofessional mistake to call a shop or a product by a name that may be taken as an insult or have derogatory meaning in another country.

I think someone already said this but a name that people are going to remember easily is good.
I mean look at Virgin, I bet Sir Richard Branson got a few raised eyebrows with that one, but did anybody forget it? No way! I wonder how many people asked him if he still was one? But who's laughing now.

Also I know someone said about choosing something with your name in it but what if you ever want to sell the business?

I love the sound of the word peach, it's so warm sounding, comfortable and delicious and very juicy.
