Beautiful little place, the location is surreal and the perfumery itself is so quaint and pretty. The products are fabulous, as someone who suffers from every skin allergy under the sun, the soaps here are great! I bought exquisite gifts that have received rave reviews. A real gem! More

The Burren Perfumery was on our list of places to visit, if we had the time and happened by. We encountered a detour and then discovered signs pointing us to the Burren Perfumery and so we headed that way. Getting there and finding the perfumery was no small feat! The road is very narrow, winding and hilly. There are very... More

Stumbling across this in the hard burren is like finding a little oasis. Beautiful gardens which are free to wander around, delicious cafe with home cooked food and the shop is heavenly. The smells hit you from all sides of the essential oils and plants. Just wonderful, we all loved it. More

My husband and I decided to go here since it was rainy and windy and we couldn't go to the Aran Islands. We started with the movie about the burren which was interesting. They have a store cat which curled up on my husbands lap during the movie. The store itself had a ton of products. We brought home soaps,... More

I was very disappointed in our trip to Burren Perfumery. I has expected more of the products - they were poorly packaged (I'd wanted to buy some of gifts but the appearance didn't reflect the price) and I can't believe that any of the ingredients came from the garden. My garden at home has better looked after plants. So didn't... More

I love these organic beauty products!! When you visit you can walk the gardens where they grow the ingredients for all their products. Be sure to eat at their small cafe!! The food is outstanding and all homemade! More

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Burren Perfumery. It's a bit of a trek to find it, but that only added to the experience. I learned a lot about the local, tropical-like, flora.I wish there had been more information about the history of the perfumery. The tea/lunch shop was delicious and the garden was serene. There are nice walks... More

Burren perfumery is off the beaten path through the Burren, which itself is off most paths. My daughter and I drove about 5 miles off the main road to find it. It was worth the beautiful drive through the Burren. The perfumery has 3 highlights: 1) A very nice shop of self made perfumes, soaps, etc with a video room... More

This was a neat place to visit! There is a short film one can watch concerning the making of the creams and perfumes there as well as good information about the Burren. It is an oasis in a really beautiful setting. The staff took plenty of time to answer questions and never seemed rushed at all. One fo the highlights... More

This hidden attraction is unavailable to tour buses and large vehicles so it is considered off the beaten path, which makes it more enjoyable to me. If you have the time and are exploring the Burren over a few days then I would definitely suggest stopping, otherwise I would not go out of my way to visit. You can watch... More
