Xinú Perfumes

One of the highlights of my time in CDMX. I highly recommend taking the time to experience the full olfactive path they guide you through: it’s thoughtful, immersive, and beautifully explained. The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and kind, creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for a meaningful local souvenir: something unique that adds a special touch to your daily life, this is the perfect place.

I mean, what can you really say when perfume is presented in this way? It's like being quietly, physically transported to a place where you meet olfactory texture without overwhelm. You can touch things. You see ingredients, vanilla beans, leaves, flowers, seeds. You can smell each scent at different stages. Let me not ruin the surprise. Just go and take your time. Enjoy yourself. I know i did.

As you walk through the doors and explore what seems to be a museum of natural aromas. You follow the scent up the stairs to find a large table displayed with six specific scents all made from native plants and flowers of Mexico displayed scientifically with labels and linen cloths to smell the incredible formula. These multi layered scents will be stored in my brain bank forever. So pleasing and unexpectedly calming. I bought one small bottle for $95 which is very strong so it should last me a long time. I also bought a bundle of their incense, which smells a little bit like Palo Santo and it’s just incredible the way it makes my house smell. I’m going to buy more online. My experience overall was purely magical. 100% aces.

Very cool experience here, their display is beautiful and their 6 main scents are all so unique. The entrance is small, just a staircase on the left side of building and you ring a bell to be let in. Then up a dark staircase in the back behind a nondescript door. All part of the experience. They have lotions and candles as well

I visited Mexico City a few years ago & I still cannot believe that I had the privilege of visiting Xinú Perfumery. It’s not just an olfactory experience, but also a visual one. The boutique is hidden, but irresistibly beautiful & definitely worth a visit when you’re in or around CDMX!

I was visiting Mexico City from Atlanta, Ga and this was one of the places I was most excited to visit. It was such a lovely experience. I’ve never seen fragrance be displayed in such away. The customer service was great and I am very pleased with my fragrance and incense.

My husband requested that we visit Xinú after finding out that all the products from Casa Polanco came from the shop. It was a short walk from our hotel and upon approach we were worried that it was already closed. To enter the boutique we rang the bell and they buzzed us in and told us to come up to the 3rd floor. The entry was a cool display of perfumes and florals that you passed through to get to the staircase. The boutique on the 3rd floor was like nothing I have ever seen for a perfume store and it smelled absolutely insane. There was a large rectangular table in the center of a cavernous black room topped with an assortment of natural and organic objects. They only make a handful of scents but each one had a section of the table for presentation. The women working there walked us through how to experience each perfume and then let us go to town. My husband and I each purchased a new perfume as well as a candle to bring home. The scents are incredibly potent and the candle has a great spread that really permeates a whole room. Even if you aren’t in the market for a new fragrance, I cannot recommend the experience enough.

They selections are beautiful and natural, very happy with my purchase. I will say I think the staff, as friendly as they are, should be more informed. They weren’t able to answer any questions about the products. They also told me incense I wanted were the same scent as the soap I purchased. But now that I’m back home & online, I see they don’t even make the incense in the soap I bought so I’m having to guess. $56 is a big cost for a guess.
