Archibald Sisters

It’s hard to fully enjoy being a woman when you can’t shop at Sephora without getting slammed with an allergic reaction. Fortunately if you enjoy fragrances, can’t wear most of them, and don’t want to support synthetic or unethical manufacturing available in most stores, Archibald Sisters is the best solution.
I’ve wandered in a few times and the gifts and odds and ends were very cute, but one day I went in with a sample of my favorite BPAL perfume that always came in tiny containers and took weeks to arrive. To my amazement, the mixologist nailed it on the second try with some new additions and everyone wants to know where I got it. When I returned for a bigger bottle, I asked for a follow up fragrance I just spitballed together and somehow that also came out beautifully. She has a wonderful talent for identifying pleasant fragrances and I’m eager to put more together now that my sinuses and skin won’t have a bad reaction. She’s also kind enough to offer a sample before you buy any, and I insist you give the lady your business.

On the first day of living in the NW neighborhood my daughter, friend, and I went into Archibald Sisters. They have many fun and adorable things to buy as well as a fragrance line that you can play with to make lotions, etc. Not only does this store have good product for decent prices but the owners are genuinely nice people. I have brought my daughter in a few times prior and they always remember us and have a conversation. If you are in the area, I would definitely suggest checking out this place.

I still hit up Archibald Sisters whenever I need a unique gift or card. The owner is absolutely adorable and sweet, she always remembers me. She has given me samples on many occasions, and I always walk away with things I didn’t even know I had to have. I brought up a product that I used to see there, and it sounds like she plans to reorder since I requested it. You can’t really ask for much more. It’s always a pleasure to visit.

Adorable novelty shop. The owner is really kind and gave me some samples with a purchase that I made. You can create your own perfumes while simultaneously buying a Mother Mary toast cutter. Overall just a really cute, happy go lucky shop that is moderately priced and goes above and beyond in customer service.

Dropped in for some gifts to take home from Portland. Great eclectic range of funky and funny stock. The staff (one of the sisters!) were attentive, helpful and funny.
This is a great place for anyone visiting Portland who wants to keep it a bit weird and fun for a reasonable price.

Lots of good stuff in here. I like all their novelty items, but the scented oils are the best. They have every scent you could want and will mix scents for you. They are super helpful and make good suggestions. You can make your own scented lotion or perfume or body wash. I like the oils for my diffuser and the prices are reasonable so you can buys few. Also, if you bring back an empty container, they will refill it and give you a discount on the regular price.

Great place to get perfume, lotions, soaps, quirky novelty gifts and more. Friendly locally owned shop with high quality natural products that they make themselves at a great price. I get tons of compliments on my Pikaki oil when I wear it. Great for yourself or to get gifts for friends. Skip crappy bath and body works and come to this place instead.

I have never been able to make my own perfume before I visited this store. They have that option here. Pick and mix any combination of their different essential oils and they can make your own personal scent! From spray fragrance to lotions to shampoos and baths, they mix it right there. And the guy was just lovely! He was super helpful and engaging. I will definitely come back and I highly recommend this to anyone.

This place is chock full of clever, kitschy gifts, sweet smelling perfumes, unusual candies and unique accessories.
I do consider a cool flask an accessory.
That sassy refrigerator magnet you didn’t know you needed; It’s here. Those bacon or lip-​like band aids you’ve been after; They’re here.
There’s an entire section devoted to divine fragrances, body lotions and bath products. I’ve tried on several and it’s hard to choose a favorite, they’re all so wonderful. I’m determined to pick just one though.
Pop in and take a gander next time you’re in the neighborhood. Just try and leave empty handed.
Review #101 — PDXYelp 100 challenge

Portand is as werid as any of the weridest places in the US. This place definitely keeps it werid. This is a small shop located uptown that carries a bunch of novety gifts. They had rubber chicken that poops out eggs, man bowls, odd shaped candy, scary looking mugs, and many more odd ball items. Great place to place if you’re from out of town.

This place is outstanding.
