I had a wonderful experience at the perfume shop thanks to Callie. She was incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, taking the time to understand my preferences and recommend fragrances that suited me perfectly. Her professionalism and warm attitude made the shopping experience enjoyable and stress-free. It’s rare to receive such attentive customer service, and Callie truly went above and beyond. Thank you for all your help. I would definitely return and recommend this store because of the excellent service I received from Callie!

I wandered in to the shop after a hard day and decided to treat myself to my favourite perfume, Callie was so polite unprofessional and approached me in a very gentle way and was so attentive to me. She let me know about an amazing discount on my perfume, so I went ahead and bought it at the checkout desk. I was willing to sign up and I mentioned that my birthday was next week the manager, Kes was close by and he overheard that my birthday was next week and he gave me a full set of Orabella perfume samples for my birthday. I just thought it was such a nice and friendly touch and I even said I was so happy I didn’t go into boots because you don’t get that kind of service. Thanks so much Callie and Kes for brightening my day and making me feel special!

Excellent customer service

I had gone to the perfume shop on my recent visit to St james to get a perfume for my partner’s mom. I don’t know much about perfumes myself and when it comes to gifting it for others I’m pretty bad too. Callie CP helped me out throughout the entirety of my shopping experience and helped me go through 4-5 different scents just to get an idea of what I liked and what I was looking for. She was very fun and helped me with every little thing. The gift wrapping was also very lovely. I will definitely visit again if I ever have to get perfumes.

Absolutely lovely service from Cara at The Perfume Shop. She was friendly, patient, and really helpful when choosing a fragrance. I picked up YSL MYSLF and had a great experience from start to finish. The store felt welcoming, and the customer service made the purchase even better. Definitely recommend visiting if you’re looking for a new perfume or a gift!
