OUR HISTORY
In July 2008 we took a massive step forward by taking over the already established Just Essentials in Ipswich, and after a large make over we turned Just Essentials into the vibrant, quirky family run independent store we now know.
Following the success of the refurbished Ipswich store, our Colchester store was opened in 2009 and was an instant hit! This gave us the confidence to open a store in Kings Lynn in 2010 and then in 2011 we opened a branch Norwich.
In 2016 we grew again through the acquisition of a store formally known as Face 2 Body, which had been successfully trading for 20 years! Our latest acquisition came in 2017 when we purchased the store known as ‘Dazzle Perfumes’ in the Frenchgate Shopping Centre, Doncaster. This was always a family run business which we have continued and developed into one of the leading Independent Perfumeries in the UK, with the widest range of top branded perfumes.
After the successful acquisition of Dazzle Perfumes, we launched the brand online!
