Rina Begum, from Perfume & Chai, says every detail has been meticulously planned and custom built to bring the vision to life.

“This isn’t just a perfume store, it’s an experience,” she said. “We’ve designed the space to be a relaxed environment where customers can sit, have a drink and sample perfumes at their leisure.” The contemporary and modern building will be filled with the sound of soft music to create a tranquil atmosphere for clients.
The photos were taken ahead of the tables, chairs and bar stools being installed, and these will be in place ahead of the grand opening next Friday (August 30). The founder has had a particular interest in fragrance for the past few years, and was fed up with going into shops and having to make the decision to spend lots of money after one test of a perfume.

The business is offering dupes of luxury, high-end and designer perfume brands, which it has become trendy to sell online in recent years. Perfume & Chai will offer.
