The Olfactory Company

Unfortunately, The Olfactory has closed due to rent hike in the building. Sad to see such a great little shop close. Great owners. Now I have to find a new place to find my great xmas presents.

Cute little shop with amazing products. They are so knowledgable about their items too which is very helpful. Really enjoyed picking out teas here and also great variety of soaps. Great local feel!

Wonderful location with a unique selection of apothecary-​style goods and curiosities.
Jennifer has an amazing eye and has put together quite the collection; most importantly, she’s very polite and helpful.

Super friendly staff and lots of fun stuff stuff. Just a tad pricey but really awesome store

Came in with my family on a Sunday
What a pleasant surprise! Beautiful store with many unique items from lotions and perfumes to teas and honey to antique and intriguing items. The owner was very friendly and informative. He walked around the store taking care of customers by explain the origins of some of the items and offering recommendations.
There was a tea tasting that day Yum! Delicious black and green tea. Good honey too
If you are in the coconut grove area for a walk and lunch this is a place you must visit :)
I will visit again !!

This is a cute shop that has many things from all around the world. The owner was extremely kind and helpful. I’d definitely recommend this shop to anyone in the area.

The Olfactory Company in Coconut Grove is a seriously great shop with unique gifts from around the world. On a recent visit, I purchased a bar of tomato soap (don’t worry, it doesn’t smell like salsa or spaghetti sauce) and a box of Kinder «Happy Hippo» snacks.
I could easily spend a half hour or more in here perusing all the lovely teas, creams, soaps and international foodstuffs.

This is a great little place, lots of good gift ideas, teas, imported candies, and much more.
A little pricey, but well worth checking out. Sometimes they even have free tea tastings.

Cutest most resourceful store in the area! Great for holiday shopping, creative gifts, and timeless products. Wonderful customer service!!!

Let’s start of with their own description:
Purveyors of Fine Continental Soaps, Teas and Toys. Offering premium brands including Nesti Dante Italian soaps, Pre de Provence and Roger & Gallet French soaps, Kneipp products from Germany, Taylors of Harrogate British Teas, Tiptree Jams, Honey with Comb, Handmade Wooden Toys from Czechoslavakia, Classic American Candy and Pranks
There is no way you walk in here and don’t find something you want for either yourself or someone you know. There is lovely creams, lotions, soaps and shaving supplies for both men and women.
Teas — so many teas! And every time I have been in the store keeper has offered me a free cup of tea with all of the proper and not-​so-​proper fixings. My last time in there was a raspberry vanilla. Changed my life. Actually — just writing this review I’m going back tonight to get it!
There are a wide array of seasonings and cooking spices. Once I got a flower petal seasoning that is strange and wonderful all at the same time.
Then there is a great selection of candies and fun trinkets for young kids and adult kids!
The prices are a little high — but worth it for a unique gift, fragrance, toy and experience.
Stepping into this store is truly like stepping into another world tucked away in Coconut Grove. A must visit!

This place is a great place for novelty gift items and unique world foods. They also have lavender and sage. I was looking for a gift for my niece and I fell in love with the selection of puppets. I think there is a gift for almost everyone in the family including the cat, in this store!

While walking through Cocowalk, I stumbled upon a curious oddity in Miami that, while being commonplace in other parts of the country is something completely unique in Miami. A store that is creative and sells more than clothes and soaps.
This store, attempting to be a common English store from the 1890’s is a wonderful stop in Cocowalk to pick up unique trinkets unavailable in all other parts of Miami.
They have a wide assortment of soaps, candies, and fun trinkets from the old world.
For a nerdy Steampunk fan like myself, this is the perfect place to be.

This might be my new favorite store in Miami. My girlfriend and I stumbled upon it after lunch at Bombay Darbar about a month ago, and though we’d long bought soap at L’Occitane (I am a sheep in wolf’s clothing!), we decided we’d stop in to check out their selection.
Little did I know that soap was just the beginning of the very curious tale this shop tells.
While, yes, this place has a broad selection of rich, scented soaps, it’s so much more than a place for soap or after shave or various other cosmetic sundries. This place is a throwback reminiscent of the kind of stores you might see in a pop-​up, traveling town that moved farther west with each mile of railroad built. The Olfactory Company has an array of «gentleman’s» products, from shaving kits to colognes that you’ll never see in some magazine being hocked by a generic, way-​too-​skinny, so-​not-​the-​everyman European model. You’ll find teas and cooking products and wooden, handcrafted toys and spices and incense and everything just short of snake oil. It’s an old-​timey traveling medicine show dropped in the middle of Coconut Grove.
I love this place. Very much. And I’m showering more, which is always a plus.

what a beautiful little shop with teas, spices, salts, gifts and everything a little kid or a grown adult with a thing for gadgets or high end luxury toiletteries would marvel at. I don’t know if the older man helping out is the owner himself or they cast the perfect charming character to compliment the shop but every inch of space in the store screams out Old Americana.
You’ll find a beautiful teapot to give your favorite old lady just as you’d find a fake poop gag gift and want to buy everything.
The store smells delicious, you’re in for a treat if you stick around for a tea tasting.
They have powdered honey!

We walked in on this place because it was next to the bike shop and I needed something for my daughter’s bike. What a nice surprise! They are a spice, tea, old fashion candy, eclectic shop. Since we are foodies we walked out with some smoked paprika and rosemary infused salt. If you like these kind of places you’ll like this place.

They have an amazing selection of salt… Try the smoked sea salt!

While walking around Coconut Grove, I ran into a new sign reading The Olfactory Co. I kept going but from the outside I saw a large candy display and had to turn around. When I opened the doors, an Old West Americana version of L’Occitane welcomed me. I was surprised and almost walked out. I thought I had seen candy and now I was faced with soaps and shaving products. In true «The Hangover» style, what the f++k is going on.
What is going on is that I stepped into the most beautiful modern outpost for the luxuriously deprived explorer. The lights are low inside this cabin, and there are lots of rustic and Victorian style furniture mixed in with antique golden mirrors and Americana. But don’t let the antique style store fool you. If you think this outpost will supplement your survival into the New Frontier, you are kind of right. The Olfactory Co. is here to pamper you with lots of French and Italian soaps, all very reasonably priced, and lots of other beauty products. What stood out was a display of shaving products that contain Shea butter, which is always a plus for your sensitive skin types.
But what about the candy I saw? I looked around only to find a whole wall of glass containers filled with loose tea. Looking further, I also saw lots of boxes of premium British tea, the best kind there is. I kept looking around until I found what I came looking for. Lots of candy, lots of Whirly Pop suckers, lots of delicious school time candy and, even though these treats are not hard to find, it is still exciting to score some. Apparently, this store is divided in two imaginary areas, one for adults and one for kids. The candy section is walled with Czech toys, all for sale and beautifully crafted. The more time I spent at The Olfactory Co., the more I felt I was in Disney World. For sure I have never seen anything like this, even in the West (wink wink).
I think The Olfactory Co. is a time bubble filled with a plethora of fine products. Depending on which way you look at, it is a skin product boutique, a tea house, a toy seller or a convenience store. Whichever side you come to shop from, you would be flabbergasted by the amount of items and the variety available. Heck, I saw cinnamon broomsticks and more trinkets under the register. This place is amazing, perfect to come and get someone a nice gift. After all, who doesn’t like a nice gift?
