In a significant milestone for the fragrance industry in the United Kingdom, renowned perfume creator Derya Türkan has introduced her debut boutique, Parfum Le Dance. Situated in Richmond's Paved Court, this new establishment offers an exclusive collection of international niche brands previously unavailable to British consumers. Drawing on her extensive expertise and connections within the global perfume market, Türkan brings together selections from esteemed houses such as Renier, Manos Gerakinis, and Giardini Di Toscana. This venture not only showcases exquisite scents but also reflects Türkan's personal journey from academia to entrepreneurship in the world of fine fragrances.

Originally hailing from Istanbul, Derya Türkan embarked on an impressive academic career before transitioning into perfumery. With a PhD in Business and Production Management under her belt, she chose to pursue her passion for fragrances, ultimately establishing herself as a prominent figure in this creative field. Her fascination with perfume transcends its role as a mere product; it represents an art form capable of evoking emotions and memories. For years, she shared her discoveries through her digital platform @parfumledans, engaging enthusiasts worldwide. Now, Parfum Le Dance provides a tangible space where visitors can immerse themselves in these aromatic treasures.

Türkan relocated to London earlier this year, dedicating herself to expanding both her online presence and preparing for her first physical store. Her transition began four years ago when she left academia to delve deeply into the perfume industry. Working at a niche boutique allowed her to gain comprehensive insights into all facets of the business. Richmond, with its charming ambiance and strategic location near Richmond Green, the River Thames, and the train station, serves as an ideal backdrop for this new venture.

The boutique offers more than just perfumes; it includes a selection of books about perfumery, candles, and other related products. Among the featured brands are Czech Republic’s Renier, Greece’s Manos Gerakinis, France’s Maison Mataha, and Turkey’s Seven Gates. Each brand contributes unique elements that enhance the overall experience of visiting Parfum Le Dance. This carefully curated collection ensures that customers find something special to suit their individual tastes.

Nestled at 8 Paved Court in Richmond, the new boutique invites fragrance lovers to explore its offerings. By creating this hub of olfactory delights, Derya Türkan aims to enrich London’s fragrance scene while offering a personalized shopping experience. Through her dedication and vision, Parfum Le Dance stands ready to captivate those seeking distinctive scents and stories told through aroma.
