Paris Westfield recs?

I will be in Paris next week for work and will be staying very close to Westfield, Place de la Defence. Can anyone recommend any shopping tips, anything worth looking out for, buying that I cannot find in London?
I won’t have time to venture anywhere else and I already have a Guerlain Exclusif perfume (although you can buy then in Selfridges these days).
I was wondering about buying a Diptique perfume, but they work out the same price as Space NK.
Thank you 🙏

I wasn't even aware that there was a Westfield in Paris but going by the website it's much like any other French commercial centre, full of French average high street chains. Depends on what you're looking for/like but it wouldn't get me too excited in comparison to what's on offer in the city centre but with the ongoing strikes probably not feasible to get out to those.

I'd head to the Sephora at Westfield, they may have some things not (easily) available in London. Their own brand do some nice products, the liquid lipsticks are very well liked, they have Milk makeup which is only online in the UK IIRC and they have what I always refer to as the aisle of temptation right by the cash registers of mini and travel products which is always a good way to discover new things without paying out a premium price blindly (though, relatively they're expensive but less of a loss if it's a dud) and useful if you're flying cabin luggage only. Sephora does good sales as well 30-50% off the luxury brands, goes up to 70% at some point.

I think there's a good French pharmacy in the la defense station with good prices but most of it you will be able to get back in the UK, unless you want specific things like Homeoplasine or Pommade A313.

This is the info for the pharmacy, you can order online and pick up there or just browse although I'm not sure how big the variety of stock is. If you want something specific, I'd order ahead.
