SWS Spring

If you’re in search of a new fragrance, a hard-​to-​find beauty product from overseas, or a nice gift for someone girly, I recommend taking a trip down to Chinatown and visiting SWS Spring. Once a commonplace souvenir shop, Spring has undergone transformation and now holds some of the rarest cosmetic lines from Asia and North America.
I followed my nose into this shop after walking through Chinatown (swapping fish for roses). I was amazed to find some small boutique fragrance lines in here that I haven’t seen since being back in the States, most specifically: Tokyo Milk, Bloom, Love + Toast and Pacifica. In addition to the ones I was familiar with, there were triple the amount of ones I was not. I wouldn’t say this shop is necessarily affordable, but if you’d rather not smell like every other bird in Sydney, swing on into Spring, and pick yourself up a nice new perfume. Come on, you can’t rub magazine samples on the inside of your wrists forever.
