Skins Cosmetics Logo - Skins Cosmetics is a perfume store.

In 2000, Skins Cosmetics caused a revolution in the Dutch cosmetics retail, because it was the first store in the Netherlands that exclusively sold niche brands that hadn't been available in the Netherlands before.

It's the long term that counts at Skins, building a connection and showing customers what else there is to find in the world of perfume and cosmetics. This has resulted in various awards, such as the prestigious annual retail award for service and innovation and the award 'Amsterdam Entrepreneur of the Year.'

We are currently working with the revolutionary brand, Nose Diagnose. More than 2000 commercial and niche perfumes, have been analysed one by one on fragrance notes and olfactive family and put into an algorithm in order to find a new personal perfume favourite within the Skins collection. It works by using your profile of perfumes, past and present. This diagnostic can be carried out on an iPad in the Amsterdam stores or on-site during an event.

Skins is still independent and is not part of a larger or stock market listed conglomerate.
