Texas – Olfactory NYC, a custom perfume maker headquartered in New York City, is set to open its first retail location in Texas. The new store will be situated in the West Village shopping center at 3699 McKinney Ave., Suite 103A, with a soft opening slated for this month and an official grand opening scheduled for October 24.
This new Dallas location marks the ninth retail store for Olfactory NYC, following recent openings in major markets including New York, Atlanta, Boston, Miami, and Washington D.C. The brand is strategically focusing on expanding into secondary markets and mid-sized cities, with other potential locations highlighted as Raleigh and New Orleans for future growth.
Olfactory NYC sets itself apart by providing personalized fragrance experiences. Customers will have the opportunity to choose from nine gender-neutral core fragrances crafted by renowned perfumers, including Frank Voelkl. With the assistance of a scent advisor, patrons can layer different accords to create their own semi-bespoke fragrance blend.
In addition to personalized scents, customers can customize their products with hand-stamped labels and select package colors. The starting price for Olfactory NYC’s fragrances is $85, alongside a variety of scented body care products and solid perfumes, catering to diverse customer preferences.
The company selects its retail locations based on target demographics, particularly focusing on areas with high visitation levels and affluent consumers who may not yet be familiar with niche fragrance brands. The Dallas store specifically aims to offer a unique retail experience fostering exploration and creativity within fragrance crafting.
Olfactory NYC has seen success with its existing stores, with the Atlanta and Washington D.C. locations being the brand’s top performers. Typically, new stores become profitable within two to three months of operation, with initial investments projected to be recaptured within a year. Reports indicate that Olfactory NYC expects sales to reach approximately $15 million this year.
The company has ambitious expansion plans in place, with new retail stores anticipated in Philadelphia and Chicago within the next year. Additionally, there are considerations for future locations in Nashville and Charleston by 2026. Among their long-term strategies, Olfactory NYC is also exploring the possibility of entering the wholesale distribution market, diversifying their business operations.
As Olfactory NYC continues to grow its footprint, the brand’s commitment to personalized customer experiences and strategic location choices positions it to tap into emerging markets and cultivate a loyal customer base across different regions. The Dallas opening is the latest step in this ongoing expansion, reflecting the brand’s vision for accessible, custom fragrance offerings in diverse locales.
