When it comes to skincare, perfumes and makeup, Milan won’t disappoint you because you’ll find the very best the international beauty industry has to offer. So if you’re looking for amazing cosmetics shops in Milan, I have 3 tips for you.
Profumeria Mazzolari
Located in a very central district, this is arguably one of the most iconic destinations for any beauty junkie in town, and it’s a very charming and historic beauty shop that’s been in Milan for decades. Strolling through the various counters and stands, you’ll find the most famous international beauty brands with their makeup and skincare collections, but you’ll also discover must-try products like the amazing Moisturising Face Cream 24 H by Yuki no Shingyu (a brand created specifically for Profumeria Mazzolari), alongside really niche names in the perfumery sector, such as Aedes de Venustas or even Boadicea the Victorious (both produce very exclusive perfumes ‒ and the most expensive 100 ml bottles of the latter brand sell for over 800 Euros: not exactly affordable but very unique).
Then there are products you’ll only find in their online shop, such as the Romanian brand Grammatik Drammatik that creates perfumes with irreverent names (like “Ambitchous” or “Sexorcism”) and fluorescent packaging.
You will also see a wide selection of products to make your home smell wonderful, such as the candles by Carthusia or Jo Malone.

Fragrans in fabula
This is a marvellous and historic store in the heart of Milan (its previous name was “Pérfume by Calé”), and it’s dedicated to true perfume lovers.

Giardini di Toscana, Hima Jomo, Creed, Juliette has a gun, Coreterno, Perris and Mizensir are amongst the names you’ll find here.

MiiN Korean Cosmetics
A great selection of the best K-beauty products, in a lovely little shop in the city centre. In other words, everything you need to achieve the famous “glass skin” Korean women are so famous for. Here you’ll find the most interesting K beauty staples, like for example CosRX “Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence” (the best way to kick-start hydration in the skin and make it incredibly soft, thanks to the intensely hydrating and resurfacing properties of snail mucin) or the serum VT Reedle Shot 100 (which promotes the skin’s cellular turnover and is available in different intensity levels). And if you’re a double-cleansing enthusiast, you’ll discover the best products to experience the benefits of this common practice in Korean skincare, where you first remove makeup and sunscreen with an oil-based product and then you wash away any residual dirt with a very gentle water-based froth. The results? Beauty junkies have no doubts: absolute perfection.
