I would like to highly commend Purple Laura at the Colchester 189 store. Her customer service was exceptional; she was welcoming, patient, and very knowledgeable. She is a great asset to the team and made sure I left with exactly what I needed.

The updates I received were consistent and well worded. I got my parcel on time, actually one day before the day it was meant to be delivered. The prices of the products were reasonable and came with many choices in terms of size, engraving, ribbon and Wrapped or not wrapped. Followed by multiple delivery options to choose from for convenience reasons.

Lovely Experience
I went in looking for a present for a friend. Aisha helped out so much. Super friendly and allowed me to try out different scents and suggested some that fit my brief. She even included some free testers at the end which I loved!

Amazing experience at the perfume shop - Colchester
I had an amazing experience at the perfume shop Colchester, I was served at the Colchester shop by Aisha and Laura, it was my husband’s birthday and they helped me find the perfect gift.
Both ladies were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient as I explored different options. They took the time to understand what kind of scents my husband might like and recommended a few amazing choices I hadn’t even considered. Their attention to detail and genuine interest in helping me made the whole experience so enjoyable.
In the end, I walked away with a beautifully wrapped gift that my husband absolutely loved. It’s rare to find such thoughtful customer service these days, and I really appreciated how welcoming and professional Aisha and Laura were.
Highly recommend visiting the Colchester branch, you’ll be in great!!
