    WOW! A must visit.
    WOW! Who knew choosing a new fragrance can be such a rousing, delicious, explosion of flavours and memories. Never again will I be going nose blind in the airport duty free. I can not convey adequately how pleasurable this experience has been and how highly I would recommend a visit to the store. Three of us visited for a private consultation for my Mum which was a present from her daughter-in-law. Peter was the quintessence of perfumery. His knowledge, humour and genuine love of the subject enhances your shopping experience vastly, whether you're just browsing or enjoying a consultation. We left with some pertinent samples and of course Mum left with a bottle of her favourite. Thank You to Peter and Mel for a delightful experience. xx
    So pleased that you all enjoyed the Private Consultation Experience, gifted to your Mum. Fragrance is all about memories and so its a lovely thing to do and enhanced when shared with family and friends. we LOVE what we do and so thank you for taking the time to send a review, it means a great deal to us as a small independent specialist business. We hope we can look after you all again soon and know that your Mum will adore her exquisite fragrance, Peter and Mel x

    Exclusive range, expert knowledge and a real passion.
    This shop is a hidden gem! I stumbled across it by chance while walking through Knutsford in Cheshire and walked in to be greeted so kindly and warmly by Melanie. I told Melanie what i was browsing for and she showed me all the different options that were available to me. I wasn’t able to make a purchase at the time but there were no pushy sales or anything from Melanie - her passion and knowledge on perfumes alone is contagious and enough to convince you to return. A month later, I travelled all the way from Nottingham to Knutsford again just to return to this shop and make the purchase. Again, I was met very warmly by Melanie and Peter who’s exclusive range of perfumes, expert knoweledge and passion for perfumes make this the best perfume shop around! I will definitely be returning again and introducing more friends and family to this shop.
    Zain, thank you for making the trip from Nottingham to shop with us after your initial impromptu visit. I hope that your "Special" fragrance with be one of the wonderful lasting memories of your forthcoming "Very Special Day" . It was my pleasure looking after you and I do hope that you will come back and see us again when thinking of investing in a stunning new fragrance. Thank you for taking the time to leave your wonderful review and I'm thrilled that a little of our love for the art of perfumery rubbed off on you. Thank you for spreading the word among your family and friends!

    Amazing store
    Me and my boyfriend visited and Melanie gave us an in depth tour of the fragrances around the beautiful store. She told us the story to each brand and particular fragrance which made it a lovely visit. We will definitely be back. They have such a brilliant array of scents, well worth a trip.
    Leah, thank you for your wonderful review, it was my pleasure looking after you both yesterday and introducing you to some of our fabulous niche brands. We look forward to welcoming you both back soon and thank you for your visit.

    Jo, thank you for taking time to write a lovely review following your visit, it was a pleasure looking after you both and Wedding Fragrances are always something to take time selecting as theres no more powerful memory trigger than a beautiful fragrance. Have an incredible day, thank you for choosing us for both of your wedding fragrances and we look forward to welcoming you back again next time!

    Amazing experience every time
    Couldn't reccomend POP highly enough. Melanie was so helpful and knew exactly which perfumes I would like. Amazing selection of niche perfumes that you wouldn't often come across. Every time I've visited the experience has been so special. Thanks so much!
    "I couldn't ask for more" What a lovely review of your experience at POP and it is always a pleasure to look after you and delighted that your fragrance discovery has you returning to discover new 'Scentsations'. As a business we continue to strive to provide the 5 star service that all our clients deserve and I hope to look after you again on your next visit. Thank you again. Team POP

    Scentsational
    I went to Selfridges last week to find some perfume for my wife’s birthday. I wandered around for a good 40 minutes searching for an ideal scent whilst being sprayed left right and centre by young girls pushing their brand. I left soon after with some leather goods having being over whelmed and over sprayed in the perfume department. If only I had come across Pulse of Perfumery a week earlier. I found this establishment by chance after picking my wife up from Knutsford. I don’t know how I have missed this place over the years. We were wandering past when the amazing smells drew us into the store. We were greeted by the owner Peter who welcomed us like an old school friend. We were chatting for ages and he was getting to know what smells we liked, our previous scents, and general chit chat. All the time Peter was getting to know what smells would work for us. He did some blind tests on us and worked well to really get to know what works for each of us, the best smell for longevity, etc. The whole time was an experience. We had no intention of making a purchase that day. However, we both came away with amazing fragrances that were unique and out of this world. I will have no reason to go to Selfridges in the future (other than return the leather goods). My first stop will be Pulse of Perfumery to see Peter and his amazing team! Thank you guys!
    "WOW" what a fantastic review and so delighted that you found your way into Pulse of Perfumery. It was a total pleasure to look after you on your recent (and first) visit and we are chuffed to bits that together both of you found your now go to fragrances and hopefully your 'Go to Perfumery' If we start to sell leather goods you will certainly be the first on our list that we tell :o)) Thank you again from all of us here at POP and for taking the time to send such a fabulous review.

    Perfume alchemy at its best!
    Hitting a big birthday milestone very soon and I wanted to discover my own signature scent that would really reflect who and where I am in my life. The experience of discovering my scent identity was incredible. Peter took the time to create a space that was all about me and my decisions and instincts for the scents he gave me to test, all of which were selected by Peter based upon my own preferences (these were inspired by smells of my youth and life to date). This was an utterly magical experience and I will never look at perfume buying in the same way ever again. The emotive scent I chose.. I've been told to keep that a secret!
    Thank you for your fabulous review of your time with Peter! Perfume is all about memories, people and places and theres no better way to celebrate a significant birthday than a beautiful new Scent! We hope you enjoy your beautiful fragrance (we taught you well) and that we can look after you again in the future.

Waft it, slide, relax, open your mind. The magic is made when you give the scents time. I arrived expecting a typical fragrance shop experience, wonder in, have a little small talk, go noseblind from smelling everything then leave. What I got was a first class personalised experience that taught, thrilled, and ultimately left me feeling far greater than what I eventually spent. It was an experience that I couldn't wait to tell friends and family about.

I had a few ideas about the type of fragrance I wanted to add to my collection. The charismatic owner was a master craftsman with the way he approached things. A few questions then he set about a journey through 16 or so fragrances split into several sections, the majority of which I'd never smelt before. There were changes of pace and variety to ensure that purposeful excitement remained.

By the time I had to whittle down to final 4 to try a few on my skin, I knew I'd found fragrances that I loved. I know that I'll return to Pulse of Perfumery because of this unforgettable experience.

My wife and I (either together or independently) have visited POP on several occasions. Not dissimilar to a powerful scent, the small store packs a punch. The shelves are adorned with numerous perfumes, many exclusive ones, some with very limited availability.

My wife particularly likes to be guided by the exuberant and equally as knowledgeable staff, especially Peter, who understand their craft so well and are able to suggest comparable scents by knowing the composition of each perfume available.

This is not a typical “high street” outlet, but a destination to experience, even if only to push yourself beyond your established boundaries and if you do, will no doubt leave with a smile, a little white bag and the anticipation of squirting something particularly special next time you venture out.

Thank you so much or your wonderful review of your several visits shopping with us, you summed up perfectly the experience we strive to offer to our clients every time they visit. We LOVE what we do and as you say we try to offer something exceptional and unique both in our carefully curated fragrance brands, our knowledge and service levels. Its good to push yourselves out of a comfort zone as you say and open your mind and nose to new discoveries, carefully lead by all the team here. Perfume definitely lifts the spirits and we hope everyone leaves with a smile and the same level of anticipation for the first time they wear their fabulous new fragrance, Peter, Mel and Danielle.

A visit to this amazing perfumery is a must, our daughter and son-in-law frequent the shop regularly and introduced us to Peter and Mel recently. Peter is a character but knows (or should that be nose) his stuff, he is very knowledgeable and with Mel made us feel very special. We will definitely be visiting again, soon.

Literally an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service I received was expertly and professionally delivered, something others can definitely learn from and this is the reason I’d definitely return to Knutsford - very warm, accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and personal members and I can definitely say that I have found my new and only outlet for purchasing future fragrances moving forward. I’ve visited many niche fragrance stores and even the high street giants are dwarfed in comparison - a very diverse range of quality produce, along with a great team who represent and steward their business well. Thank you, well done and I will most definitely visit again for a refill!

This place is like none other - it's more than 'a shop' it is an experience - you feel like you're attending a fun and informative perfume workshop. Peter is knowledgeable and charismatic and genuinely out to teach you about perfume rather than force you into a sale. I didn't need any perfume, but I actually felt like buying some just as a thank you for Peter's time and attention to educate us and give us an entertaining time! I will definitely be recommending Pulse to my family and friends and wish Peter and his crowd every success for the future.

My friend took me here for my belated 60th birthday treat.
And what a treat it was.
Melanie took us through the wondrous world of perfume, it's history and vast array of choice. Over almost a two hour session, using her expertise, she narrowed down my choices to six different fragrances. After discussing the merits of each one, I tried them all and made a decision.
These are not your every day fragrances but la creme de la creme of fragrances.
What Melanie doesn't know about perfume can be written on a pin head. Yes, she is that good. A lovely lady who clearly thoroughly enjoys her work and makes the whole experience enjoyable for her customers.
I can highly recommend a visit to POP if you really want to find your ideal fragrance.

I am a regular customer of POP but took my niece Amelia (7 years old) and my mum with me on Saturday to find a new fragrance for my husband to be. Peter was INCREDIBLE as always!!! He included Amelia in our search for a fragrance and made it into a beautiful experience she will never forget! Then, as is that wasn’t enough, he gifted her a bottle of the most beautiful perfume as a tester. She has not stopped telling people since Saturday! We found the perfect fragrance from Matiere Premiere, but above all we have all felt on an absolute high all weekend. When someone as selfless and generous as Peter takes time out for you, you leave feeling energised, special, content and positive. Can’t wait for our next visit!
