The “ Perfume Shop” was on the ball. Shame about your conveyor Royal Mail, they took 2 attempts to deliver as the first they failed with a pathetic excuse.

Friendly Customer Service
My mum and I were unsure what perfume to buy for my dad but Chantelle was very helpful in narrowing our decision. She was very welcoming and made friendly small talk. :)

I visited to get a certain aftershave for myself and they had a sale on at the time of visiting. India helped me and recommend me a different aftershave made by the same brand and it was better than the one I usually buy, there was a huge amount of discount on it which was a bonus. Since using this new aftershave I have received a lot of good compliments from people I know and don’t know. I will definitely be visiting again when I run out, thank you India for your help and kindness and I look forward to seeing you soon. :)

India was absolutely amazing today
India was absolutely amazing today! I walked in looking for a perfume for my wedding day and she went above and beyond, letting me test practically every scent in the shop until I found the perfect one. The experience was amazing and I’m so grateful for the amount of effort she went into helping me today. Thank you so much!

Outstanding customer service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I highly recommend The Perfume Shop in Colchester 💖
After picking my daughter up from school on a Friday, we popped into Colchester town, and I decided to treat myself and my daughter to a new perfume. 🌸
From the moment we walked into the shop, we were greeted with such a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a lovely vibe. ✨ We were lucky enough to be helped by Chantelle, who was absolutely amazing from start to finish. 😊
She made the whole experience so special for both me and my daughter. She was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and went above and beyond to help us. My daughter absolutely loved the experience, all thanks to Chantelle. 💕 She is a real credit to The Perfume Shop and truly represents outstanding customer service. 👏
I'll definitely be returning, and I won't be going anywhere else for my perfumes! 🌷 As we left, my daughter turned to me and said, "I've had the best afternoon!" 🥹❤️ That says it all.
Thank you, Chantelle, for making our visit so memorable! 🌟💐
