It specializes in over 1000 hard-to-find fragrances for ladies and gents, European imports for bath, body, and hair care, and a wide selection of gent's wet shaving haberdashery. The shop carries rare items like Mason Pearson hair brushes and hard shaving soaps from around the world, offering easy delivery and recognized as a Best of Boston. Reviews note the shop has the best collection and is considered a shop of shops, with customers expressing a long-time attachment.

Longtime followers hope the business continues for decades to come.
I have been a follower of Colonial Drug for decades and I hope to that they will continue to be around longer still! I am sorry to have not been around of late but I am home bound. Take care of yourself JP and thank you for listening.

This is one of my favorite stores ever. It has an old-timey quality and sells wonderful products. For instance, if you need a present for someone and want beautiful- smelling soaps, this is the place. The kind proprietor will even wrap it for you! It's the best store for perfume. Well worth a visit.
