I know it might be slightly boring, but it would really help me, if you would do two things: 1)write down the name of the fragrance your doting other half would like for Christmas and 2) bring it with you. Doing so will avoid the following conversations:
* "It's an odd shapped bottle with bobbles on it." Customer then looks accusingly at me when I bring our collection of odd shapped bottles with bobbles on it and it's not any of them.
* "It's called Ant something." Them.
"Do you remember who made the fragrance?" Me.
"No." Them
"Do you know what it smells like?" Me.
"Nice." Them.
*sigh* Me.
A bit later on, I remember Anteus by Chanel (there is a Chanel concession, but I don't work on it) and they were happy.
