Parfümerie Seifenzahn

Scent Experience with the Zahn Family

”What matters about us is our intensive yet honest advice. We sell what is right for the customer and not because we need to clear the shelves. We sell emotions, that’s why customers should feel especially well cared for in our hands.”

Taking good care of customers has always been important to the family and the business has been run on this principle for generations. That is no doubt the reason that there are so many loyal customers, who also come to the store in the third generation. Although they have an electronic customer file, the sisters know by heart which scents and products most of the customers use.

In addition to the perfume shops, they offer cosmetic treatments at their location at the Jakobsplatz.

From the five stores they once owned, two remain today. The branch in the Königstraße was opened in 1960; the headquarters on St. James’s Square has been used by the Zahn family since 1962. 

Seifenzahn is the last privately run perfume store in Nuremberg. “We’re the last of the Mohicans!” grins Christina. That’s also true for St. James’s Market. While most of the family-owned, long-established shops have closed or moved, the Parfümerie Seifenzahn has stayed here. “Yes, it’s more and more difficult, but we won’t leave!” says Sabine. “The view of St. James’s Church is unique and inspires us every day.”
