[@nicetalkintoya]

Your accent is very charming! Don't ever change because of what haters say. Love your style!

[@clemenceccfragrance]

That's really lovely, thank you so much!

[@SallyMarion]

I’ve never understood the problem with being sent perfumes for review either! No one minds if it is any other product as you say, like makeup / fashion / skincare so what’s the issue. Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog and story time Clémence, also I was very impressed when you mentioned that you planned to make 3 / 4 videos that day, I should step up my game! 💖

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Hahaha don't ! Im a psycho hahaha I need to get organised by filming 3-4 videos in week-end because there is no way I can film after work during the week! Im glad we agree for the perfumes sending thing, it's crazy but things of changing! As long as people keep being honest, things will go well! You're doing so well Sally on your own channel, never change 🤍

[@Schatje79]

Maybe it's just me, but I totally got a "Pretty Woman" movie vibe when you came back to the shop and showed all the perfumes you purchased to the morons who suspected thievery! I would have done the exact same thing!

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Oh yeaaaah now you are saying it! I love that! Many thanks 🤍

[@knowthyself7260]

It’s really not a big deal if you’re gifted scents. It’s your choice to speak on them or not. You don’t seem like someone who would lie about a scent. So far, you’ve been on point! Thank you for your content ! Sending love from New York ❤️

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Thank you for those words, really appreciate 🤍

[@AodhanBulger]

Completely agree on being given gifts and payments by brands you already like. I have never understood what the community's problem is.

[@balazs7235]

17:28 lmaooo But on a serious note, the shopping experience is what determines the purchase for me. If I get treated like shit, I will not spend a penny in that store. If I am paying a lot I better get the service I deserve.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Yeah completely understand that!

[@yvonneriddle2804]

Clemence, thank you for your openness. I have had similar experiences when purchasing fragrances and understand the frustration. Your lovely accent is what drew me to your channel initially. I find your videos so uplifting! I appreciate you.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Ohhh that's the best compliment! Im so glad you find my videos uplifting, its nice to send good vibes 🤍

[@chrisscushman8244]

It’s sad when customer service is terrible, it’s like I am there to buy something 🤔 If I don’t get good customer service I will flat out tell them I will take my business elsewhere. Keep up the great work.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Totally agree Chriss ! Thanks for sharing !

[@rockermystic]

There are some very lovely retail stores here, that make perfume shopping a wonderful experience! Guerlain, Dior, Chanel all have or had boutiques with the sweetest sales assitants, who were so knowledgeable and kind! In Saks Fifth Avenue, the perfume counter sales assitants are just lovely as well, but there are some other department stores with very rude sales people. I agree, if you are shopping in retail stores, it shoul dbe a wonderful experience! 💗

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Yeah it's very random I would say! It depends on the days!

[@RICHARDKIKOT]

This kind of thing happens to me quite often. It used to be more often than not but these days it's less. If I am shopping, fragrance or clothing - sales people will say " this is the women's section" - I say, "I'm sorry, I have no idea why you would think that I don't know where I am. Why on earth would you be telling me this?" It's embarrassing for them and for me. Which is why you should never gender people in service. ...OMG does your rabbit go outside and come home??

[@clemenceccfragrance]

You have the perfect reaction, I so agree with that!

[@julia_galkina]

Love your vlog 💗. You're adorable! Your channel is so exquisite and unlike any other. As for the unpleasant experiences, those do happen, but you're still you (congratulations!) and they are just them (not even sorry for such ppl).

[@LucidScents]

This was such a fun, authentic vlog! You raise some great points about customer service, treating people well, building a rapport with them even if they don’t buy anything etc. And gosh, I’m so sorry that you had such a bad experience in that place! On the subject of bad experiences..in London, at least, the one big department store/whatever you wish to call it, that I’ve consistently had a bad consumer experience when fragrance shopping....is fortnum and mason! Which is a real shame, because I love fortnum’s and in all other parts of the store, the staff are lovely.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Reaaaaally! I never go shopping over there actually! Need to!

[@lanainamerica2043]

Clemence, you look sooooo good without makeup. You are a natural beauty!!!!

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Owwww that's way toooo nice!!! Thank you!

[@StealthAudrey]

I hate when I have a bad retail experience as well, really ruins the day. Ive had a bottle of perfume taken from my hands and told no that is for men. So rude. I enjoyed hearing about the happy retail experiences youve had, so lovely. I hope youll do more like this, very casual and relaxing.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

You are joking???? That's next level! Thanks for taking the time to watch, I will so more for sure 🤍

[@CH-yp5by]

Not surprised about the customer experience in London, I have lived here for 5 years as well and I have found it fairly poor at a lot of places. Its a combination of stupidity and just being lazy. Moreover, social media is always going to have trolls and people saying negative stuff at you in order to make themselves feel better because at the end of the day they are just negative people, its part and parcel of running a channel or instagram account. Love to see Merlin on the channel! So cute :)))

[@clemenceccfragrance]

You are so right, it's really nice to read words like that. Sometimes it's just what you need to forget the rest ! Thank you!

Morning face Clemence and make up face Clemence! Beautiful! 😍😍😍 I personally really enjoy videos like this from you. More of a vlog style and just hearing your thoughts, stories, and experiences. Thank you! Love your comtent so much!

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Owww I really enjoy those two as well! Thanks you so much 🤍

[@lanabarker6392]

I know this is an older vid but I just wanna commend you on your points regarding retail; I’m an ex employee from an U.K. department store counter (won’t say which brand haha) & I really appreciate that you care about the shopping experience, I think it’s a lost art these days. If I’m spending over £200 & up on a fragrance I’ll also want at least a positive experience as people work hard for their money. I spent so much time learning the ins and outs of the products, the history, how they’re made etc & a lot of people wouldn’t be bothered to listen which is sad. Thank you for the video, keep up the great work ❤️

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Yesss as I worked in retail before I can relate so much, I was a fragrance nerd dying to talk about history to my clients lol Thank you so much for sharing 🤍

[@RonaldJapenga]

I find that the designer fragrance stores (TFS, TPS, Boots etc) have very, very little understanding of fragrance. I always have lovely chats and they are ever so kind, but they do not know what vetiver / oud is, they haven't heard of La Nuit de l'Homme and when they recommend Pepe Jeans, I kinda want to end the conversation. I love the vlogging btw. Very enjoyable!

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Ohhh so nice! Lovely to hear you liked it 🤍

[@jeromejax8675]

Thank you for this video vlog. I absolutely enjoyed it. I too have experienced issues of being judged when I go into a high end department store to smell/purchase fragrances. (Ex. being ignored not greeted etc.) They have no idea/ clue of how serious my fragrance game is. I have over 120 bottles and counting totaling more than 12K usd. Needless to say, I too did not give the snobs the satisfaction of the sale. Btw, I think you and your accent are lovely which is why I enjoy your content.

[@anna_ania9190]

I love your accent. Sounds naturally picked up from the locals to me. Some people pick up accents very quickly (like me 💁‍♀️) and some will never do. And we can also improve our hearing/spelling on purpose, this is part of learning a language, integrating with the environment we live in and it is beautiful too. Love from a language freak 💕😜

[@sirvegag]

Hey I really enjoyed this video Clemence! Well done and keep it up. I think we have all had similar experiences at retail. I have also witnessed the opposite tendency to be 'attacked' by the sales associate which is equally annoying. I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with you.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Ohhh thank you, I really appreciate! Welcome here and greetings from London!

[@cate9472]

I totally agree with you. I also prefer buy my perfumes by retails. I buy on line only things I cannot find in the shops in the area where I live. Even when I buy on line I try to find the little, local shop that also makes on line service (I think most of them chose this way to better survive to the e-commerce competitors). Of course the experience in shops must be great. If I can't feel I am in a comfort place with pleasant people I go away and never come back.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

I completely get your feeling on that!

[@OlfactiveStories]

Haha you made me laugh but I got you. My experience with fragrance shopping was mostly positive. The sales assistant were always happy to share their passion and knowledge for fragrances. I believe they were just happy to find another geek to talk to and not the usual customers 😂 But I had some unpleasant experiences in Sephora or Nocibe with people not knowing what they were talking about or even security agents following me like I was going to steal something 😆

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Oh yeah I usually get those reactions too! Oh I hate when the security is following, its sooo uncomfortable!

[@annamariaferranti29]

Omg this was a video I can so relate to. In my younger days I worked retail fashion for seven years(30 years ago) To this day I have very low Tolerance for bad customer service it’s like you said ........people to take a day and want to have a shopping experience , you want to be treated great service, and good brand knowledge before you buy. I love the way you explained that story, it was funny to us listing but not to you at the time. Ps LOVE LOVE Chanel CC Cream can’t live with out it. Such a great product with SFP👌

I'm eyeing Caftan from the Vestiaire collection, so I went to the YSL counter at the Galeries Lafayette to smell it again and make sure I still liked it. I had an interesting chat with the SA. I didn't buy Caftan just then, well, because of budget, but as soon as I have enough spare cash, I will go right back to the same lady! A good experience in retail is important.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

So agree! Lovely! I love to go back to people that took good cares! Thank you for sharing!

[@hotpikayumi2499]

Yes!! Why? 🤔

[@mustlovefragrances7643]

Worst experience for me? In South Africa a lot of the assistants are paid on commission, so they need to be sharks 🦈 and can smell you coming. I was in a wheelchair at the time (for pain) and very new to it. He grabbed a hold of it and refused to let go until I had my nose on all of the perfumes. 😧 My Mom had to force him to release me. I never went back again. 🤣

You must be joking!!!! Thats terrible!!! Psychopath really 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Gosh what an experience, sorry about that I hope you are not traumatised gosh

[@mustlovefragrances7643]

@@clemenceccfragrance I’m okay, 👌 I laugh about it now. Luckily I don’t need the wheelchair now, so they can’t catch me! 😂

[@_rhea.b_1305]

Surely you could report that to the police? Because that wheelchair was like an extension of you, and so that would be the same as if he had grabbed you and not let go.

[@mustlovefragrances7643]

@Vanille Fatale Yes we do! 😂 It’s like the saying goes, “If you’re not laughing you’re crying, so laugh!”

[@mustlovefragrances7643]

@@_rhea.b_1305 The police aren’t interested in things like that, there are more important crimes going on. Human rights mean different things in different countries. Not that I’m advocating treating people in that way, it is an abuse. With unemployment being rife people are desperate to feed their families and don’t realise they are stepping over the line. I think the pandemic has begun to teach us that we are all human beings with feelings too. 🤗

[@federicoscquizzato8359]

At 6:27 you basically explained the reason why i never go to retail stores. Hearing that "you know it is for men/women?" would probably make me so angry that i could leave the store right there. Classifying scents, or almost everything, in gender it is so wrong, expecially on something "abstract" as a scent

This happened to me in Paris too. I was about to leave the store, but I wasn’t even standing in front of the alarm and the alarm went off and then the security guard came up to me and asked to see my bag and he was acting really smug because I was clearly uncomfortable about being accused for no reason. And then I swung my bag in front of the alarm and it didn’t go off and then he was like hmmm ok. And I was like “you’re very rude” and he just started laughing. I wish I’d spoken to his manager.

[@iyzabel]

The alarm went off as I was stepping out of the Geleries Lafayette. The guard asked to see my shopping bag. No biggy, he had a look and realised the cashier had forgotten to deactivate the security sticker on one of my purchases, so he did it for me and off I went. No offense taken: he was polite and doing his job.

Hahaha, I've had a couple of terrible experiences similar to the one where you were accused. It's funny because neither was at a place where they sell anything expensive - Kmart and King Soopers which are a big box retail store and a grocery store. First one the guy from assets protection just said I couldn't stand around and look at the fragrances, which were like Brut and Old Spice tier lol. At the King Soopers, this tall lanky dipshit security guard followed me outside and tried to get me to empty my bag because the alarm went off, and when I told him I wasn't going to he said he was gonna call the cops and they'd be looking for me even though I didn't steal anything 😂 As someone who's worked for 5+ years in customer service, and 4 of those years being in retail, that's not how you succeed. I talked to the manager at King Soopers and told him about it later, and I never saw that asshole working there again. I don't think you should have a job if you act like that until you learn not to do that, so hopefully the dude learned.

Oh thank you Edith !

[@marinelab]

I can relate so much, how many times I went to a store to buy a bunch of stuffs and coming out, upset, with nothing because they were rude. And how many times I bought stuffs just because I liked the sales person. My worst experience was just yesterday, I went to a small store specializing in middle eastern perfumes. The guy was rude, treated me like shit. I wanted to prove him wrong, I bought 5 fragrances full price, (I didn't try them because I knew most of these fragrances.) Arrived home I realized that 2 of them are ostentatious fake, pure counterfeit, and one is broken. WTF! I'm not gonna say anything or write any bad reviews, I'm already too upset. I learned my lesson, I should have been faithful to my regular middle eastern perfume store.

You need to go back to store and let them know. Give a taste of his own medicine. It’s unacceptable

[@marinelab]

@Vanille Fatale Yeah sometimes we do stupid shit, but I also was in a mood for buying perfumes. I'm pretty sure it was not a sales tactic, the guy was born rude.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Woooow what a story! Thats terrible indeed ! Yeah I guess it's bad luck as well, ah terrible. thanks for sharing this story Marine!

[@captainblimp4133]

Am too understanding to get upset with sales assistants because they must have a tough life at times... But they could give out more samples with purchases.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Ah I understand. I worked as a sale assistant tho, its tough but your job is to take care of client so you shouldn't have those type of behaviour haha Also for the samples that is not their fault, samples are expensive and you usually don't get a lot given by the brand. Also to all the brand I've went to, it was two samples max by client. If you give out more you could have trouble with management so I understand 😅

[@misterfinerthings]

Interesting that you actually want to talk to sales associates. I avoid them at all costs. Maybe I'm just a jerk :-) Sorry for your troubles Clemence. Stay positive!

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Hahahah really? You know I worked as a sale consultant before and I had a fragrance diploma so I always like to talk with SA because I know some of them are true fragrance lovers, you never know!

[@yloveloulou]

J'ose à peine rentrer dans les parfumeries plus luxes ou quoi en général.. les gens me font carrément peur. J'ai récemment osé dans la ville où je vis, et j'ai vraiment regretté de ne pas y avoir été avant!

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Cest vrai ?! Je dis ca mais ca me faisait aussi peur au début, mais normalement on prends plus soin de toi donc cest souvent plus agreable!

[@yloveloulou]

@@clemenceccfragrance Clairement, mais j'ai souvent peur que les gens y soient plus" prout prout", qu'ils te jugent plus, alors que c'est pas le cas. Va savoir pourquoi!

It's really hard to get rid of an accent or even just better!

[@ingrid1001]

Getting rid of an accent after an certain age is not even possible

[@clemenceccfragrance]

I agree!

Why everybody keep telling that hahaha

@@clemenceccfragrance 😭😭🥲 i don’t know girl but you look snatched 🙌

[@FragranceView]

the woman was maybe a bit jealous because you've got a French accent, it's a lot more flowing and romantic to listen to than a UK one!

[@_rhea.b_1305]

Yikes, putting down a group of people to raise up another is really not pleasant 🤦🏾‍♀️
