Chérie Boutique

Downtown Wayzata’s Chérie Boutique evokes the charm of a French magasin: crystal chandeliers, impeccable and informed service, and products you couldn’t otherwise find unless you jetted to Bergdorf’s in New York. Owned by Diane Wissink and her daughters, Sally Clayburn and Jennifer Carpenter, Chérie’s antique jewelry cases brim with the makings of women’s aromatic dreams: eau de colognes by Aqua di Parma, Serge Lutens, Annick Goutal, and Santa Maria Novella; makeup by T. LeClerc; more than 250 French-milled soaps; and face cream by Caudalie. There’s also a smattering of jewelry by Tarina Tarantino and handbags by Longchamp. Whether you’re looking to update your arsenal of fragrances or hunting for an inspired hostess gift, follow your nose to this beauty and fragrance emporium. 750 E.
