Hard-to-find fragrances
If it's in our store, it's the only place you can smell it in Denver!
Why you should book an appointment:
Our customers want to tell you ...
I want to bring everyone I know. They are welcoming, and so so knowledgeable, their expertise and banter made the trip special."
When I tell you this was the best hour I spent in my life… I truly believe that. I came in with an absurd prompt for what I wanted to smell like and they just knew EXACTLY the type of vibe I was looking for."
Ode to Perfume is the most unique gem in Denver! I loved every second of my experience there and can't wait to go back. They have created something so special and it's an experience you can't get anywhere else in Denver."
What a fun, luxurious, and special experience! They guided me through 1:1 for my entire appointment. I felt so taken care of and got exactly what I wanted."
FAQs
We are open to the public on Saturdays + Sundays each week so you can just walk on in! But if you are shopping for a specific occasion or just want our 1:1 attention, time, and expertise, we highly recommend booking an appointment. (We hear they are SO fun.)
We'll chat about what you're shopping for, why you want it, and how who you are plays into your choice of fragrance. Then we will spray several hand-picked fragrances and narrow down your favorites. Then we try them on your skin!
We'll help you find something that feels oh-so-you and perfectly fits the season or occasion you're shopping for!
We can accommodate up to 4 people in a regular appointment. If you have more people than that in your group or you would like to use the space for a specific event outside of our business hours, please send us an email: hello@odetoperfume.com
YES! Because our store closes by 6 pm every night, we have lots of evenings available if you would like to rent out the store or host an event here! Please reach out to us at hello@odetoperfume.com
It's absolutely not required, but we do ask that you come in with an open mind and a desire to leave with a fragrance. We love to offer these consultations for free because we love what we do. But we pour our heart, soul, and knowledge into you and your experience and we will only be able to continue to do that if people regularly purchase at the end of an appointment.
YES! Most of our fragrances are unisex, with some leaning toward the more feminine or masculine end of the spectrum. We have tons of options for any and all genders.
Sure is! There is plenty of 2-hour street parking right in front of the shop as well as along St Paul Street. There’s also a small lot on the corner of 6th + St. Paul that you’re welcome to use for 2 hours or less!
We never EVER expect a tip, but it is always greatly appreciated! If you had a great experience, you can Venmo us at @odetheshop and it will go directly to your Fume Tender!
As long as it’s unopened! Once a box is opened, we cannot take any returns. We highly encourage you to sample a perfume before you open the big-girl box. We are happy to exchange an unopened box for another fragrance within 45 days of your purchase.
Our Values
SELF-EXPRESSION
Knowing and expressing ourselves is the first step toward building the life we want. Fragrance is a small but mighty way to learn about who we are and how we want to show up in the world.
SUSTAINABILITY
We do not want to add waste to the world. All of our packaging is biodegradable and/or compostable. We love the earth more than we love perfume. (And that's, like, A LOT.)
THE JOY OF COMMUNITY
What is more joyful than a shop that does good and makes you feel good while doing it? We want Ode to be a joyful, safe space in the Denver community; hosting events and bringing people together.
