$5,000,000                                                         March 9, 2004

     FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,   Perfumania,   Inc.,  a  Florida   corporation  (the
"Company"),  hereby  unconditionally  promises  to pay ON DEMAND to the order of

to pay interest on the unpaid  principal  amount hereof at the rate set forth in
Section  4. All  amounts  owed  hereunder  shall be paid in lawful  money of the
United States of America.

     This Note is subject to the following terms and conditions:

the Holder and the Company dated as of the date hereof ("Security Agreement").

     2. Subordination.  This  Note and the amounts payable hereunder,  including
principal and accrued  interest  shall be  subordinate  and junior to the Senior
Bank Loans. For the purpose of this Note, "Senior Bank Loans" shall mean any and
all obligations,  liabilities and indebtedness of the Company to GMAC Commercial
Credit LLC (the "Senior Lender"), all obligations,  liabilities and indebtedness
in connection with the refinancing of the indebtedness to the Senior Lender.

outstanding  at a rate per annum equal to the then  current  Prime Rate plus one
percent quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing
on March 31,  2004 until this Note shall be paid in full.  As used  herein,  the

the Wall Street Journal in the "Money Rates" column  published on the date which
is one Business Day (as defined  below) prior to the  beginning of such calendar
month for such  calendar  month.  If the Prime  Rate  cannot  be  determined  in
accordance with the preceding sentence,  then the Company will notify Holder and
instead  determine  the Prime Rate by using the rates  offered to prime banks by
Citibank,  N.A.  (but in all other  respects in  accordance  with the  preceding
sentence). Interest shall be calculated on the basis a 360 day year based on the
actual number of days elapsed.

     (i)   if the  Company  becomes  insolvent or  makes an  assignment for  the
benefit of creditors;

     (ii)  if there  shall be filed by or against the  Company any petition  for
any relief under the  bankruptcy  laws of the United  States now or hereafter in
effect or any  proceeding  shall be commenced  with respect to the Company under
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, reorganization,  dissolution,  liquidation
or  similar  law or  statute  of any  jurisdiction  now or  hereafter  in effect
(whether  at law or in  equity),  provided  that in the case of any  involuntary
filing or the  commencement  of any involuntary  proceeding  against the Company
such  proceeding or petition shall have continued  undismissed and unvacated for
30 days; or

     (iii) if any petition or application to any court or tribunal, at law or in
equity,  shall be filed by or against  the Company  for the  appointment  of any
receiver or Company for the Company or any material  part of the property of the
Company,  provided  that  in the  case of any  involuntary  filing  against  the
Company,  such  proceeding or appointment  shall have continued  undismissed and
unvacated for 30 days; or

     (iv) if the  Company  shall  fail for any  reason  to make any  payment  of
principal  and/or interest  hereunder within 10 business days after such payment
is due; or

     (v) if the  Company  shall  fail  for any  reason  to make any  payment  of
principal  and  interest  under any Senior Bank Loan,  within 30 days after such
payment is due.

                  Remedies Upon Default; Default Interest.

     (i) If any Event of Default  shall  occur for any  reason,  then and in any
such  event,  in  addition  to all  rights  and  remedies  of the  Holder  under
applicable law or otherwise, all such rights and remedies being cumulative,  not
exclusive and enforceable  alternatively,  successively  and  concurrently,  the
Holder may, at its option,  declare any or all amounts  owing under this Note to
be due and payable,  whereupon the then unpaid balance hereof, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall forthwith become due and payable.

     (ii)  Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of  Default,  or upon the  maturity
hereof (by demand, acceleration or otherwise), the principal and any accrued but
unpaid  interest  owing on said  principal  sum (the  "Obligations")  shall bear
interest  from the date of  occurrence of such Event of Default or such maturity
until collection (including any period of time occurring after judgment), at the
"Default  Rate," being the lower of (A) the highest  rate allowed by  applicable
law, or (B) a simple interest rate per annum equal to 3% above the Prime Rate in
effect on the date of maturity (acceleration or otherwise). All default interest
charges  (X) shall be in  addition  to,  and not in lieu of,  any  other  remedy
available to Holder;  (Y) shall be added to the  Obligations  and secured by the
Security Agreement,  and (Z) shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege
to extend  the date of the  payment of the  Obligations,  nor as a waiver of any
other  right or remedy  accruing  to Holder by reason of the  occurrence  of any
Event of Default.

     7.  Lost,  Stolen,  Mutilated  or  Destroyed  Note.  If this Note  shall be

canceled,  renewed or extended,  and the terms  hereof may be waived,  only by a
written  instrument  signed by the  Company  and the  Holder.  Any waiver by the
Company  or the  Holder of a breach  of any  provision  of this  Note  shall not
operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such  provision
or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company
or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or
more  occasions  shall not be  considered  a waiver or deprive that party of the
right  thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term
of this Note. No delay on the part of any party in exercising  any right,  power
or privilege  hereunder  shall operate as a waiver thereof or hereof,  nor shall
any waiver on the part of any party of any right,  power or privilege  hereunder
preclude  any other or  further  exercise  hereof or the  exercise  of any other
right, power or privilege  hereunder.  Any waiver must be in writing. The rights
and remedies  provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights
or remedies which any party may otherwise have at law or in equity.

     (g) Saving Clause. This Note is subject to the express condition that at no
time shall the Company be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal
balance due  hereunder at a rate which could  subject  Holder to either civil or
criminal  liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum  interest rate
which the  Company is  permitted  by law to  contract or agree to pay. If by the
terms of this Note,  the  Company is at any time  required or  obligated  to pay
interest on the  principal  balance due  hereunder,  at a rate in excess of such
maximum  rate,  the interest rate shall be deemed to be  immediately  reduced to
such maximum rate and all previous  payments in excess of the maximum rate shall
be deemed to have been  payments in reduction of principal and not on account of
the interest due hereunder notwithstanding the other provisions hereof.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the Company has caused this Note to be executed on its
behalf by the undersigned officer thereunto duly authorized.

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

     SECURITY  AGREEMENT (the  "Agreement") made and entered into as of March 9,
2004, by and between  Perfumania,  Inc., a Florida corporation  ("Debtor"),  and
Stephen Nussdorf and Glenn Nussdorf (collectively "Secured Party").

                                 R E C I T A L S

        A.    Debtor has executed a  Subordinated  Secured  Demand  Note of even
              date herewith, payable to the order of the Secured Party.

        B.    As a  condition  precedent to  Secured  Party's  acceptance of the
              Note,  Grantor  grants  the  security interests and undertakes the
              obligations contemplated by this Agreement.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises and to induce  Secured
Party to accept the Note in partial satisfaction of certain obligations owing by
Debtor to Secured  Party,  and for other good and  valuable  consideration,  the
receipt and adequacy of which are hereby  acknowledged,  Grantor  hereby  agrees
with Secured Party as follows:

     9. Grant of Security Interest.  As security for the payment and performance
when due of the Obligations, Debtor does hereby assign and transfer unto Secured
Party, and does hereby grant to Secured Party a continuing security interest in,
all of Debtor's right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following,
whether  now  existing  or  hereafter  acquired:  all  of  Debtor's  assets  and
properties,  whether  tangible  or  intangible,  including  without  limitation,
Debtor's  Accounts,  Inventory,  Goods,  General  Intangibles,   Chattel  Paper,
Documents and  Instruments,  and all Proceeds and products of any and all of the
foregoing (collectively, the "Collateral").

     10. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Debtor. Debtor represents,
warrants and covenants as follows:

     (a) No Liens. Debtor is, and as to Collateral acquired by it after the date
hereof  will be, the owner of such  Collateral  free from any Liens,  other than
Permitted Liens,  and Debtor shall defend the Collateral  against all claims and
demands of all persons at any time  claiming  the same of any  interest  therein
adverse to Secured Party.  Debtor will, at its own expense,  take such action as
may be necessary  duly to discharge any such Lien if the same shall arise at any
time.

     (b) Chief Executive Office;  Records.  The chief executive office of Debtor
is located at 251  International  Parkway,  Sunrise,  Florida.  The originals or
copies of all documents evidencing the Collateral and the account and records of
Debtor  relating  thereto  are,  and will  continue  to be,  maintained  at, and
controlled  and  directed  from,  such  chief  executive  office  or at such new
locations as Debtor may establish in accordance  with this Section 2(b).  Debtor
shall not establish a new location for such chief executive  office until it has
given to Secured Party not less than thirty (30) days' prior  written  notice of
its intention so to do, describing such new

<PAGE>

location and providing such other information in connection therewith as Secured
Party may reasonably request.

     (c) Further Actions.  Upon written request from Secured Party,  Debtor will
provide  Secured  Party with copies of such lists of and reports with respect to
the  Collateral  as Debtor  furnishes  from time to time to the holder(s) of any
Senior  Lien.  In  addition,  Debtor  will,  upon the request of Secured  Party,
execute and/or deliver to Secured Party from time to time such instruments,  and
take such further steps  relating to the  Collateral  and the property or rights
covered  by the  security  interest  hereby  granted,  which  Secured  Party may
reasonable  request to  establish  and  maintain a valid,  enforceable  security
interest in the Collateral as provided herein or to perfect, preserve or protect
its security  interest in the  Collateral,  all in  accordance  with the Uniform
Commercial  Code or any other relevant law. Debtor  authorizes  Secured Party to
file any such financing statements without the signature of Debtor.

     11. Remedies Upon Occurrence of Event of Default.

     (a) Remedies:  Obtaining the Collateral Upon Default. Subject to the rights
of the holder(s) of any Senior Lien, Debtor agrees that, if any Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing,  then and in every such case,  subject to
any mandatory  requirements of applicable law then in effect,  Secured Party, in
addition to any rights now or hereafter  existing  under  applicable  law, shall
have all rights as a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code and may:
(i) personally,  or by agents or attorneys, take possession of the Collateral or
any part thereof, from Debtor or any other person who then has possession of any
part thereof with or without  notice or process of law, and for that purpose may
enter upon Debtor's  premises  where any of the Collateral is located and remove
the same;  and (ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any  instrument or other
obligation constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms
of such  instrument  directly  to  Secured  Party;  and  (iii)  sell,  assign or
otherwise  liquidate,  or direct Debtor to sell, assign or otherwise  liquidate,
any or all of the  Collateral  or any part thereof,  and take  possession of the
proceeds of any such sale or liquidation.

     (b)  Remedies;  Disposition  of  Collateral.  Subject  to the rights of the
holder(s)  of any Senior  Lien,  any  Collateral  repossessed  by Secured  Party
pursuant to Section 3(a), and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed
by Secured Party, may be sold,  assigned,  leased or otherwise disposed of under
one or more contracts or as an entirety,  and without the necessity of gathering
at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner,  at
such time or times,  at such place or places and on such terms as Secured  Party
may, in compliance with any mandatory  requirements of applicable law, determine
to be commercially  reasonable.  Any such  disposition  which shall be a private
sale or other private  proceeding  permitted by such requirements  shall be made
upon not less than 10 days'  written  notice to  Debtor  specifying  the time at
which such  disposition  is to be made.  Any such  disposition  which shall be a
public sale permitted by such  requirements  shall be made upon not less than 10
days' written  notice to Debtor  specifying the time and place of such sale and,
in the absence of applicable  requirements  of law,  shall be by public  auction
after  publication  of notice of such action not less than 10 days prior thereto
in accordance with applicable law.

     (c) Application of Proceeds.  Subject to the rights of the holder(s) of any
Senior  Lien,  the  proceeds  of any  Collateral  disposed  of by Secured  Party
pursuant to Section 3(b) shall be applied as follows:  first,  to the payment of
any and all expenses and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by
Secured Party in obtaining, taking possession of, removing, insuring,

                                        2
<PAGE>

repairing,  storing and  disposing of  Collateral;  next,  to the payment of the
Obligations  in the following  order of priority:  (i) all interest  accrued and
unpaid;  (ii) the  principal  amount  owing on the  Note;  and  (iii)  all other
Obligations  then owing; and any surplus then remaining shall be paid to Debtor,
subject, however, to the rights of the holder of any then existing Lien of which
Secured Party has actual notice.

     (d) Remedies  Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party
in exercising any right,  power or privilege  hereunder and no course of dealing
between  Debtor and Secured  Party or the holder of the Note shall  operate as a
waiver thereof;  nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege  hereunder  preclude  any other or  further  exercise  thereof  or the
exercise of any other right,  power or privilege  hereunder or  thereunder.  The
rights,  powers and remedies  herein  expressly  provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights,  powers or remedies which Secured Party would otherwise
have.

     (e) Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Secured Party
its true and lawful  attorney,  with full power after the occurrence of an Event
of  Default  and for so long as the  same  shall be  continuing  (in the name of
Debtor or  otherwise),  to act,  require,  demand,  receive,  compound  and give
acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies due or to become due to
Debtor  under or arising out of the  Collateral,  to endorse any checks or other
instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any
action or institute any proceedings which Secured Party may deem to be necessary
or advisable in the premises,  which  appointment as attorney is coupled with an
interest.

     12. Indemnity. Debtor agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold Secured Party
harmless  from  any  and  all  losses,  damages,  penalties,   claims,  actions,
judgments,   suits,  costs,  expenses  or  disbursements  (including  reasonable
attorneys'  fees and  expenses)  which may be imposed  on,  asserted  against or
incurred by Secured  Party in  connection  with the  creation,  preservation  or
protection  of  Secured  Party's  Liens  on,  and  security   interest  in,  the
Collateral,  including,  without limitation, in connection with the recording or
filing of instruments and documents in public  offices,  payment or discharge of
any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Collateral,  premiums for insurance
with  respect  to the  Collateral  and all other  fees,  costs and  expenses  in
connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral and Secured
Party's interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise. The
indemnity  obligations  of Debtor  contained in this Section 4 shall  constitute
Obligations  secured  by the  Collateral  and shall  continue  in full force and
effect  notwithstanding  the  full  payment  of the  Note  and all of the  other
Obligations.

                            Re: Waiver and Amendment

Gentlemen:

      Reference is made to the Revolving Credit and Security  Agreement dated as
of  May  12,  2000  by and  among  PERFUMANIA,  INC.,  MAGNIFIQUE  PARFUMES  AND
COSMETICS,  INC.,  PERFUMANIA  PUERTO RICO,  INC. and TEN KESEF II, INC.,  (each
individually,   a  "Borrower"  and  collectively,   the  "Borrowers")  and  GMAC
COMMERCIAL  FINANCE LLC, as successor by merger with GMAC Commercial  Credit LLC
("Lender")  (as so  amended  and as the  same now  exists  or may  hereafter  be
amended, restated, renewed, replaced,  substituted,  supplemented,  extended, or
otherwise modified,  the "Credit  Agreement") and all of the notes,  guarantees,
mortgages, instruments, agreements and other documents executed and/or delivered
in  connection  therewith  (all  of the  foregoing,  together  with  the  Credit
Agreement,  as the same may now exist,  or may  hereafter be amended,  restated,
renewed, extended,  supplemented,  substituted, or otherwise modified, the "Loan
Agreements").  All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

      Borrowers have requested that Lender amend certain  provisions of the Loan
Agreements  and waive  certain  Events of Default  which have  occurred  and are
continuing  under the Loan  Agreements.  Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth  herein,  Lender  has  agreed to make such  amendments  and to grant  such
waivers.

      NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable  consideration,   the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of  which  is  hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

<PAGE>

      1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this agreement and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

      2. Waivers. Borrowers hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that Borrowers
have failed to comply with certain terms and provisions of the Credit  Agreement
for the  quarterly  period  ending  on  January  31,  2004,  including,  without
limitation,  (a)  Borrowers'  failure to comply  with  Section 6.5 of the Credit
Agreement  (Tangible Net Worth),  (b) Borrowers'  failure to comply with Section
6.6 of the Credit  Agreement  (Fixed Charge Ratio),  (c)  Borrowers'  failure to
comply  with  Section  6.7 of the  Credit  Agreement  (Leverage  Ratio)  and (d)
Borrowers'  failure to comply with Section 7.6. of the Credit Agreement (Capital
Expenditures).  As a  result  of such  noncompliance,  Events  of  Default  have
occurred and are  continuing  under  Article X (Events of Default) of the Credit
Agreement (the "Subject Events of Default").  Borrowers have requested Lender to
irrevocably  waive the Subject Events of Default,  and Lender has agreed to, and
hereby does,  irrevocably  waive such Subject  Events of Default  subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein;  provided,  that,  Lender hereby reserves
all rights and remedies granted to Lender under the Credit  Agreement,  the Loan
Agreements,  applicable law or otherwise,  and nothing contained herein shall be
construed to limit,  impair or otherwise affect the right of Lender to declare a
default or an Event of Default  with respect to any future  non-compliance  with
any covenant, term of provision of the Credit Agreement,  the Loan Agreements or
any other  document  now or  hereafter  executed  and  delivered  in  connection
therewith.  Without  limiting the foregoing,  nothing herein contained shall, or
shall be deemed to waive any  default or Event of Default  that  Borrowers  have
failed to disclose to Lender as of the date hereof.

      3.  Amendments  to the Credit  Agreement.  The Credit  Agreement is hereby
amended as follows:

            (a) As used herein,  the following term shall have the meaning given
to it below and the Credit  Agreement and the Loan Agreements are hereby amended
to include, in addition and not in limitation, the following definition:

         ""Borrowers on a  Consolidated  Basis" except to the extent
         limited in this definition, shall mean the consolidation in
         accordance  with  GAAP of the  accounts  or other  items of
         Borrowers.  Presentations of financial  information for the
         Borrowers  on a  Consolidated  Basis shall be  consolidated
         from the  applicable  audited  or  unaudited  consolidating
         financial  statements  of E-Com  Ventures,  Inc.  Financial
         information shall not include footnote  disclosure required
         by GAAP with  respect to the  Borrowers  on a  Consolidated
         Basis,   but  shall  be  deemed  to  include  the  footnote
         disclosure  contained  in E-Com  Ventures,  Inc.'s  related
         audited or unaudited financial  statements as it relates to
         such  disclosure  related to  Borrowers  on a  Consolidated
         Basis."

entirety as follows:

         each  fiscal  quarter,   determined  with  respect  to  the
         Borrowers on a Consolidated  Basis, the ratio for any given
         computation  period of (a) EBITDA minus unfinanced  capital
         expenditures  to (b) the sum of (i)  the  interest  expense
         (including   all   imputed   interest   on  capital   lease
         obligations of Borrowers) plus (ii) the aggregate amount of
         all  scheduled  debt  repayments   (including  all  imputed
         principal   payments  on  capital  lease   obligations   of
         Borrowers but excluding all Revolving  Advances) plus (iii)
         cash  taxes  paid by the  Borrowers,  in all cases for such
         quarter."

            (c)  Section  6.5 of the  Credit  Agreement  is hereby  amended  and
restated in its entirety as follows:

Except as specifically set forth herein, nothing contained herein shall evidence
a waiver or amendment by Lender of any other  provision of the Credit  Agreement

to herein.  Without  limiting the foregoing,  nothing herein contained shall, or
shall be deemed to,  waive any Event of Default  of which  Lender  does not have
actual knowledge as of the date hereof, or any event or circumstance  which with
