Discover your talents
Our award-winning Learning & Development team helps our people deepen their perfume knowledge and earn recognised qualifications through The Fragrance Foundation. We also offer external apprenticeships and internal development programmes to support career growth across the business.
Wellbeing
Everyone has enhanced holiday entitlement take time away from work to recharge. Plus, in the UK everyone has access to Aviva Digicare which provides a digital GP service. For those in Ireland, we provide a virtual GP service. We have a valued partnership with The Retail Trust - offering independent, confidential support and advice on a wide range of issues.
Respecting human rights
The Perfume Shop is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. All teams receive mandatory training, and our confidential “Speak Up & Protect” helpline allows concerns to be reported directly. Read our 2023 Modern Slavery Statement to learn more.
Supporting our communities
We’re proud to support charities like Alzheimer’s Research UK, Look Good Feel Better, Operation Smile, and the Marie Keating Foundation. From fundraising events to volunteering, our team actively gives back—whether at food banks, in our ‘Scentsory Garden’ at Keech Hospice, or through community initiatives.
Diversity
We’re on a conscious journey to ensure that we provide an inclusive and workplace where everyone can be themselves and feel included. Last year we launched our Reverse Mentoring scheme where a team of Gen Z Perfume People paired up with our Leadership & Senior Management Teams to see what they could learn from each other.

Every person is rewarded for their contribution and there are plenty of benefits and perks available; these include Celebration Days - where our Perfume People can take an extra day off to celebrate a big life event - generous staff discount, discretionary bonus, store incentives and more!
