Etymology: From perfume (noun and verb) + -er, perhaps modelled on Middle French parfumeur.

  1. A person who makes or sells perfume.

    Affairs went on thus until the latter had attained her twenty-second year, when her great beauty attracted the notice of a perfumer, who occupied one of the shops in the basement of the Palais Royal, and whose custom lay chiefly among the desperate adventurers infesting that neighborhood.

  2. One who perfumes something.
