This is in an agreement for a temporary, mobile perfume sales area.
"Le Détaillant Agrée accepte également le Cahier des Charges figurant en Annexe 3 et s'engage à:
- autoriser l'aménagement par XX de l'Espace pour l'Evénement par l'installation notamment des meubles personnalisés et du matériel de PLV développés et fournis par Xx pour l'Evénement, et notamment un bar olfactif."
I'm not sure what we call this in English - would it be something like a tester bar?

: Chanel may call it that, but note that all your refs were at pains to tell readers what it is in plain Eng

Thank you, Sheila. The main "problem" is that the company mentioned uses it (olfactive bar) in English but not in French. I realized that after posting. I had assumed they were Xx in the question because it is patented, according to the last reference.

perfume bar
"12 May 2005 ... Borrowing elements from regular bars, Amouage's 'perfume bar' in Muscat City Center, Oman, offers inverted perfume bottles, bar-style seating, and knowledgeable perfume baristas who decant 25 ml perfume pegs for customers."

"The Hertford Women's Society is not just somewhere to shop but a place to spend a day out. An exciting new ladies boutique with an enchanting atmosphere. A haven of luxury clothing, elegant shoes, jewellery, sexy lingerie, accessories, homeware, sumptuous gifts, a bespoke S'Amuser perfume bar and beautiful cosmetics.
We believe that women are 'naked without perfume' and 'chocolate is not a treat, it's a way of life.' This is why we offer a bespoke perfume service allowing women to clothe themselves in scents they can create themselves."

fragrance counter
In US merchandising, the word fragrance is often used, rather than perfume, to include a wider variety of products: EDT, EDC, solid, spray, splash, etc.

: The term "counter" seems more appropriate. Perfume or fragrance, depending in which country.
