Houston’s Hottest New Fragrance Lab—Tijon Houston

 Last weekend, Calvin and I attended the grand-opening of Tijon Houston, and trust me: this isn’t just another perfume shop. From the moment we walked in, I felt a calming, yet exciting energy. Nestled inside the vibrant M-K-T at 600 N Shepherd Dr., Tijon offers a hand-crafted, clean-ingredient fragrance experience. The polished marble counters, gold-trimmed displays, and bespoke lighting set the vibe—proof that fragrance can be an immersive art form.

Stepping into Tijon Houston feels like entering a modern apothecary dream. Everywhere you look, soft gold accents and artful displays of artisan perfumes create an elevated atmosphere.  During the grand opening party, the DJ spun an energetic soundtrack (featuring a mix of reggae and R&B, so you know I danced) that matched the room’s buzz—guests laughed, sampled intriguing scent combinations, and discovered why Tijon’s luxury fragrance lab is already turning heads.

My personal highlight? That moment I inhaled bergamot notes—bright, zesty, and utterly addictive. Calvin won a raffle prize for a complimentary custom-fragrance session and he's already decided he'll be crafting his own bergamot-forward scent. 

This custom perfume bar should definitely be on your Houston must-visit list.

Meet the Dynamic Duo Behind the Magic

Tijon Houston is powered by two amazing entrepreneurs who know how to elevate every guest experience:

  • Alti Nelson, a family friend and a former luxury-hotel operations guru, whose warmth and hospitality turned every introduction into a personal celebration.
  • Inglish Cooke, celebrated learning-center founder and community champion, whose energy and generosity made every attendee feel like family.

Together, they’ve built a space that’s equal parts boutique shopping—think chic jewelry, decadent bath bombs, and curated home fragrances—and immersive fragrance education. Their hands-on guidance means no prior perfume knowledge is needed—just bring your curiosity.
