Notino Lands in Arena Centar: Perfumes, Prices, and Sephora Drama!
Ready for a new shopping frenzy? Notino, the popular online giant for perfumes and cosmetics, has finally opened its first physical store in Croatia — right in Arena Centar! But is this a paradise for beauty lovers or just another perfume chaos?
What’s on offer and at what prices?
Notino is known as an online empire for perfumes and cosmetics, and now it’s decided to conquer the physical world too. The store offers perfumes, makeup, and personal care products, and the prices? Surprise! Prices in the store are mostly the same as on their webshop. For example, Skkn by Kim lip glosses cost 29 euros, the smallest pack of Sol de Janeiro shower gel is 10 euros, Biotherm shower gel is 27.90 euros, and Moroccanoil shampoo is 26.60 euros on sale. But discounts? They are only available online, so if you want to save, you’ll have to go back to the internet.
Sephora or Notino? Social media drama!
While some are thrilled with the new store and show off their purchases, others complain there are too many perfumes and too little makeup. Many expected Sephora to open in Arena Centar, sparking a storm of comments. Did Notino meet expectations or just disappoint those who wanted Sephora? The debate is raging on social media.
From a small Czech webshop to a European giant
Notino didn’t appear overnight. It started as a small Czech online perfume shop called parfums.cz, founded in 2004 in Brno. Founder Michal Zámec expanded the business to neighboring countries, and today Notino operates in 28 European countries, with 26 physical stores across the continent, including Vienna, Prague, Warsaw, Budapest, and Kyiv.
Is Notino the new Sephora?
Although Notino has an impressive offer and competitive prices, the question remains — can this Czech giant replace Sephora in the hearts of Croatian customers? While some celebrate Notino’s arrival, others still miss Sephora. One thing is clear — Arena Centar got a new attraction, and we’ll be watching how this perfume saga unfolds.
Conclusion
Notino has arrived in Croatia with style, but not without controversy. Prices are affordable, the offer is wide, but online discounts and the lack of makeup in the store leave a bitter taste for some customers. Is this the start of a new era for the Croatian perfume market or just another player in the sea? Only time will tell.
