Parfimerija Sava

Top choice in Belgrade


With its old-fashioned interior, gorgeous vintage bottles and delectable scents wafting throughout, this traditional perfumery is a doorway into the Belgrade of yore. Established in 1954 by the father of current owner, Nenad, this is the last of its kind in Belgrade, where scents are mixed by hand in a mysterious room behind a heavy curtain and labelled by typewriter.

Expect to spend around 570RSD to 985RSD for a small bottle – and leave the shop doused in various scents dispersed from a 1930s hand pump!
