ANNAPOLIS, MD — A fragrance store recently opened in a new location in the Westfield Annapolis mall. The shop, called Perfume City, previously had stints in at least two other storefronts in the mall.

The newest site replaced bareMinerals, a cosmetics store that closed this winter. Perfume City now neighbors Eddie Bauer near the California Pizza Kitchen mall entrance.

The perfume outlet is known for its men's and women's fragrances from around the world. The retailer carries luxury brands like Balenciaga, Gucci and Versace. There are also fragrances from celebrities like Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian.

Perfume City's previous stores in the Annapolis mall were next to 7-Eleven and near M.A.C. Cosmetics. The business dates back to at least July 2021, when Perfume City posted a photo of its ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The current location opened in mid-March.

Changes At Annapolis Mall

The Annapolis mall has seen some changes in recent months.

L'Antico Gusto Italiano opened in March, offering sandwiches and salads in the food court.

Miller's Ale House will soon open a bar and restaurant in the parking lot outside The Cheesecake Factory. The team behind InGrano will launch a new cafe next to Build-A-Bear Workshop.

The Original Pancake House will debut across from the California Pizza Kitchen. And Lasang Pinoy will open a Filipino restaurant across from Chipotle.

Jongro KBBQ is putting the finishing touches on a Korean barbecue restaurant. Seoul Blues Coffee & Dessert is also building out its space. Both eateries are slated to open soon outside the mall's food court entrance.

Capital Teas also returned to the mall in November 2022, opening up near JCPenney.

On the other hand, the mall has undergone some turnover in the past few months.

Nando's PERi-PERi, bareMinerals and BrookieGirl Bath + Body Care all shuttered their Annapolis locations around the New Year. Papaya's storefront was covered up in mid-March, and the women's clothing chain no longer lists the Annapolis location on its website.

Squishable, a stuffed animal store, filled the vacancy left by BrookieGirl. The business opened this spring and is sandwiched between Soft Surroundings and Chocolate Moonshine.
