Scent of a Woman

Dulce Shoe Boutique Opens

Ooh, what’s that smell? You just want to stick your face in it. Mmm, so earthy and delicious.

It’s the sweet scent of leather at Dulce, the shoe shop opening tomorrow in Coral Gables. The boutique houses high-end kicks from top designers — and you’ll want to inhale them all.

Take a whiff of chunky cork heels by Dsquared2 or strappy sandals from Georgina Goodman. Sniff Sigerson Morrison’s metallic flats or Casadei’s triple platform pumps.

The mod space has black floors and ceilings, a gold chandelier and rug, and plush purple velvet sofas — should you want to take a break from prancing around in stilettos.

Along with shoes, Dulce carries handbags, jewelry, and eyewear from both established and up-and-coming designers.

You best go sniff it out.

Dulce, 286 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables (305-461-9880).
