Honestly



Honestly, the lady who attended to me deserves a raise
She was so kind, patient, and helpful. The only problem is… I’ve completely forgotten her name. But I remember everything else — she had just returned from her holiday and told me it was her first day back at work.

And this woman had the patience of a saint. She showed me so many different perfumes and gave me plenty of options to choose from because, apparently, choosing a perfume for your girlfriend is a serious life decision.

I actually came in to pick a perfume as a birthday gift for my girlfriend, and she even wished her a happy birthday. At that point, I knew I was in good hands.

Thank you so much for the wonderful service. I’ll definitely be back again and next time, I promise I’ll remember your name 😂😂 cheers guys
