La Signature

What a fabulous store. Everyone was so nice. I loved the fact that the sales ladies were French. I spent way too much on a decadent bottle of perfume! Merci

Guerlain, Guerlain, Guerlain! Oh, how I love thee! As another reviewer pointed out, there are only a handful of stand alone Guerlain shops in the United States and this is one of them. That’s the reason they get 4 stars. The one and only reason they didn’t get 5 stars is because the sales people here can be extremely snobbish.
This shop is located in the France Pavilion at Epcot’s World Showcase. For those not familiar with Guerlain, it’s pretty expensive. The make-​up is actually a touch more expensive than Chanel. If you have money to spend here and intend on spending it, the sales staff are so kind and will kiss your ass. However, when they get the idea you won’t be dropping dollars here, they’ll snub you pretty quickly.
The Guerlain powder beads are amazing and come in a beautiful round box. I love them and can’t live without them. Highly recommend. I also really love their lipsticks and their lip glosses. The glosses will only run you about $ 30 each, but the lipsticks run about $ 50 each. If ever you want to splurge on make-​up just once in your life, get one of their lipsticks. They come in the most beautiful silver cases that open up with a mirror.
I am not fond of their mascara or their pencil eyeliner. I will never buy the mascara again. It gets caked up at the opening and I end up with mascara all over my hands whenever I use it. The pencil eyeliner is ok, but it can be difficult to put on because it is not very smooth. In all honesty, MAC eyeliner is better because it goes on like butter.
I do like their eyeshadow. It is easy to work with and stays put. I have a couple of their quads, but I do have to say I prefer Chanel eyeshadow. That’s just a personal preference… no real reason.
I don’t even want to talk about the obscene amount of money I dropped on the skin care line here because I bought it all. Before I turned 40, I was determined to start taking care of my skin. Ya know, trying to stop that whole aging process thing. Do you know I haven’t used it once… seriously… not once! When we have the money and I drop obscene amounts of money and actually use the items, my husband doesn’t bitch. However, here several years later, he still gets onto me about all the Guerlain skin care items I have and don’t use. LOL
Guerlain is very well known for their fragrances for both men and women. They have them all here, and they have testers out for them all for you to try. Prices are pretty standard for the fragrances… around $ 70-​$ 100 per bottle.
You won’t be snubbed just for walking in and looking around. But if you take up a lot of their time and don’t buy anything, they do get rude pretty quickly. Maybe it’s because they are French? After all, the rudest people I have ever encountered in the world were in Paris. Shrug

I’m a Guerlain perfume fan-​boy. There are only a handful of standalone Guerlain shops in the states, notably in EPCOT and in Las Vegas.
Guerlain is one of the oldest and most notable continuously operating perfume houses in the world; it’s known for its exquisitely complex fragrances.
The EPCOT Guerlain boutique has been around since the beginning of EPCOT, and it still looks great. The staff is extremely friendly and will let you sample the products for hours. Still, I wish they would provide 1ml sample vials for people who are really interested in their high-​ticket items. But if you have even a passing interest in perfume (or even guys into men’s «fragrance» or whatever you’re comfortable calling it) you should really check this place out next time you’re in EPCOT.
