Yesterday I went in with my girlfriend just to smell some Bond No. 9 fragrances, and I was so saddened to hear that there were no samples available and people have just come in, taken them, and left in the past. Bond No. 9 samples are tough to get now. Because of this and the brand popularity, I unfortunately was not able to even sample the two fragrances I came to sample and test (Greenwich Village and Lafayette St).
Lois Castelli-Leff was the sales associate who helped me. She felt so bad that I couldn’t test the fragrances I wanted to and she did everything she could to find samples or testers. We both had an incredible conversation during which we bonded and taught each other a lot. She is one of the kindest sales associates I have met and not even ONCE did I feel pressured; a rarity.
I actually ended up purchasing a bottle of MFK Amyris Homme Extrait without even planning on it because not only did I love the scent, but I appreciated Lois’s customer service skills so much. Daniel, her manager I believe, was also very helpful and is making sure I will get to test those fragrances in the future. I cannot praise this employees enough.
Also - this location is excellent and I am so happy it is open!
