Spanish term or phrase: perfumera
I am translating a magazine for a company that among other things makes cosmetics, skincare products, haircare products and nappies. A few times it suggests consulting the 'perfumera' for further information. Obviously not a perfumer, I imagine perhaps someone who works in a chemists shop that would sell this sort of thing? Any ideas? Thanks
