Don't feel like you're fully dressed without a spritz of perfume? We feel you. Whether you stick to a signature scent or bounce around from bottle to bottle, a stash of quality fragrances is a necessary part of a New Yorker's arsenal—especially if you're still hounding on your favorite smells of the 90s.

Ahead, we've mapped out 25 stores in Manhattan and Brooklyn where you can add to your perfume collection, from the high-end names available at department stores to little retail labs where you can create a signature scent. See below for your north-to-south spritzing guide.
