Many years ago while in Paris, I treked out just to see the boutique even though I'd smelled the line in various stores. I couldn't travel with big bottles of perfume, not was I in any position to afford them. But I bought a little box of the scented paper / incense. It wasn't expensive but I was given amazing service that I remember to this day, years later, every time I light one. One day when I'm rich I'll buy some of his Ouds. Until then, they treated me like any other customer and that goes a long way.
