Suravi Shop and Jean Pascal
June 13th, 2006

I’ve added a new category to my blog called Featured Shops. I plan to do short write-ups about perfume shops I find worth visiting and/or buying from. Today’s featured shop is Suravi, an exclusive fragrance boutique in Riverview, FL. It features such lines as Miller Harris, Amouage, Montale, Jean Pascal, Creative Universe, and more. The shop’s owner, Vijay Wadehra, has informed me that he has one of the biggest collections of Montale fragrances in the U.S. Currently, the products can be purchased directly from their temporary web site (created specifically for Basenotes members and Perfume Critic readers). A full e-commerce site is to be launched in the near future.
The shop carries three fragrances by Jean Pascal, a famous Colombian fashion designer. Quimbaya pour Homme, with notes of citrus, rosemary, thyme, violet, clove, lavender, and musk. It’s a very wearable scent that starts out with a blast of citrus and herbal notes and softens up in the drydown, with a non-offensive mix of violet, clove, and lavender. Quimbaya pour Femme has notes of tangerine, blackcurrant, pear, mango, magnolia, jasmine, and mimosa. An exotic fruity floral that starts out tangy and juicy and dries down to a tropical floral. Both Quimbayas would be perfect for someone who likes light, fresh scents. A great alternative for hot summer days, and the prices won’t break your wallet ($45 for a 3.4 oz bottle).

Sounds like a great shop. Nice to know it’s owned by a fellow perfume lover. Definitely need to check out the Montales there.

He definitely has the best Montale prices, and the customer service is superb.
