Walk into a good florist and the first thing that greets you is the scent. At Le Salon Aux Fleurs, at 914 High Street, Armadale, that scent comes not only from the flowers but from shelves of European perfume, soap and candles. Established in 2019, the business describes itself as a bespoke florist and boutique, and it has built a following among locals who like their flowers seasonal and their gifts beautifully chosen.

A florist with a boutique attached
Le Salon Aux Fleurs was founded by Steven Gabriel Maccora, who signs off the boutique's welcome message. The shop began in the historic Kings Arcade and its website now notes that the boutique is located at 914 High Street. Inside, it offers what it calls some of Europe's finest perfumes, soaps and candles, including Trudon and Santa Maria Novella, along with a selection of skin and hair care, gifts, items for the home, and beautiful seasonal flowers and plants.
The flowers themselves are created in a separate floral studio. From client orders to bespoke commercial and residential displays, the business says, all of its floral projects bloom there. That makes Le Salon Aux Fleurs as useful for a restaurant, office or event as for a birthday bunch.
"3143", the signature arrangement
Every good local florist has a signature, and here it carries the suburb's postcode. The "3143" arrangement is described by the shop as its signature Armadale floral arrangement, and its most requested design is an arrangement of contemporary blooms in endless shades of pink. Bouquets and arrangements can be ordered through the website, which makes it easy to send something to a friend across the suburb or across town.

Candles worth lingering over
The candle range deserves its own visit. The boutique describes a collection of distinctive candles ranging from the bright freshness of florals and greenery to the deep resonance of resins and ancient woods. Among them are porcelain candles by Moro Dabron, which the shop describes as delicate intimations of the natural world. Their Ochiba candle, for example, evokes an ancient forest with coniferous trees and fallen leaves, and its porcelain vessel can be repurposed as a vase once the candle has burned down.
There are also scented candles from the Florentine house Santa Maria Novella, brass candelabra, and a range of home fragrance, all of which can be wrapped as gifts. Online orders include the option of a handwritten gift note, a thoughtful touch for a present that has to travel without you.
A gift shop for people who notice details
What sets Le Salon Aux Fleurs apart is the way flowers and fragrance work together. You can choose a bunch of seasonal flowers and a candle that echoes them, or put together a gift of soap, skin care and stems for someone who deserves a little luxury. It is the sort of shop that rewards a slow browse, and the High Street location makes it easy to combine with a coffee and a wander.
