Julie’s a Superstar!
Never have I had such spectacular service from one of your stores. Julie in your Colchester store is a breath of fresh air and a font of information, you can just tell that working for you is more than just a job. What an ambassador to your brand. We will be back when the wife runs out of Dot again. Julie, please keep up the good work. You’re a superstar! X

Great customer service
Visited the Colchester branch and was served by a lady called India. She was amazing. Very friendly. We asked for certain scent and she was knowledgeable and pulled different brands for the requested scent. She also made us aware of the offers available.
We finally bought a very nice perfume from the shop.
Can not fault the service.
