Four refusals, stated plainly so that nobody wastes an appointment.
We do not make copies of branded perfumes. We are asked constantly. Beyond the borrowed name, a copy made from memory and a photograph of a bottle is a disappointment with a four week wait attached.
We do not rush. There is no express option, no same week bottle and no exception for a wedding. Come to us eight weeks before the wedding and we will do good work.
We do not work with oud. It is expensive, it varies enormously between batches, and we cannot promise you the same thing twice. Other people here do it well and we will happily say who.
And we do not put alcohol based scent on an aeroplane or a cargo boat. It is classed as dangerous goods, we are not equipped to declare it properly, and a shop that quietly hands a flammable liquid to a boat crew is putting somebody else at risk. Island customers collect on a trip to the city or send somebody, and we say so before an order rather than after it.
