I always hear statements that consultants always will offer you what they were told from above. They have some sort of list of priority items that they try to shove into the customer, even if they don't quite match the request. We have set a sales plan, be so kind as to fulfill it. I have my own opinion on this, and I am sure that you too. For fun, I decided to do a little experiment with perfumery.
Now in Letual there are very good discounts, which are really not just beautiful numbers, but really very pleasant. Not all, of course, but I found great deals and even shared them with you. There, I compared prices not only with competitors, but also with good verified sites. Have you read it?
Well, let's get to the experiment. I approached the seller with a rather broad request - I want a pleasant sweet scent for autumn and winter. And I warned that I couldn't listen to more than three or five scents. There are no preferences in notes, the main thing is that it is sweet, but not stuffy. I went to 3 different shopping centers in Saratov, where there is Letual: Tau Gallery, Happy Mall and Triumph. Do you think they have offered me about the same list everywhere? Or maybe there were almost 100% matches?
What a consultant suggested to me in the first store
At my request, I was not asked about the price, but they immediately offered fragrances at a really good discount - Narciso Rouge and Rodriguez Poudrée, in September 30 ml could be bought for 1999 rudders, in October the promotion was continued, but the number of bottles significantly decreased. Sold out or hidden?
Narciso Rouge is a sweet powdery aroma with a pronounced note of musk, but this is not animal musk, it is not quiet here, but at the same time it is not harsh or harsh, as is often the case. It has both luxury and notes of expensive powder and lipstick. In general, Rodriguez is either loved or not. Looking ahead, I will say that I acquired it and even wrote a separate detailed article.
Narcisso Powder is their most famous fragrance and one of the most popular powdery perfumes. It is he who is often mentioned in various collections. There is also luxury and expensive powder, but rather such a retro one, there is already someone who loves something more.
I listened to them, the seller asked if I wanted something lighter or heavier. At my request, take it easy, they put Gucci Guilty perfume water on the blotter, I already have it, I love it. A beautiful floral scent, absolutely devoid of stuffiness and stickiness. Lilac, geranium, a little powder (a little!) At the expense of violets, it is to him that men react with compliments.
Second store
When I approached the girl, she was standing near the shelves with Rodriguez and I was almost sure that she would name them. You guessed it! But this time I was offered only one scent - the classic Rodriguez Poudrée. Okay. And something lighter? We went to Gucci's? No.
The second one offered me FLOWER BY KENZO POPPY BOUQUET, I would not say that it is so sweet. This is a novelty this year, a floral-creamy fragrance, for me it is a little powdered, but if there is powder, then it is quite fresh and light. Contradictory feelings, from the category - I like it, but not on myself, do you have such scents?
Then Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Peony was offered to me, of all the dollops, it is the only one with a discount. Floral-fruity aroma, honey peonies, light fruity sourness (I can't guess, plums and pears are declared in the pyramid), musk, which is not declared in the pyramid, but I personally can quite clearly hear it. My associations with the scent are a blooming garden and a beautiful woman taking the forbidden apple.
Third store
I already knew that I would be taken to Rodriguez. Is the plan real? We went with a consultant to the perfume shelves and walked past Narcisso's cubes and rectangles. Immediately, they promised me an unused aroma. Became interesting. ZADIG & VOLTAIRE This Is Her came to mind. I guess! They even stand a little apart at the most extreme stand and the fragrances are not at eye level.
I guessed it because I myself wrote about them recently in this vein. Can the salesperson read the Business makeup bag? For every fireman, I say hello! A very sweet creamy aroma that has vanilla with a slight bitterness and also a good peppercorn. Apart from the leading lactone notes, I can highlight sandalwood. A bit monotonous, many are attracted, my friend periodically buys them from me.
Then I was offered this year's novelty HUGO BOSS Alive, which I didn't try right away. These are those aromas that need to be allowed to settle a little and open up, it starts very loudly. By the way, you also need to do with Rodriguez, if you put them on the blotter and after a minute, or even earlier start evaluating - there is a risk that the blotter will fly into the trash, and you will not know what it really was aroma. A very rich and concentrated winter version of compote. Many people like them very much.
The third fragrance is ESCADA Flor Del Sol, first it is a fruit gum, then - hot, hot tropics and even light alcoholic notes, there is a slight astringency in the base. For me, this is a typical summer aroma, I don't see the tropics in winter and autumn, do you?
As I understand it, the consultants are focused on perfume for the promotion, but there is no special list. The conspiracy did not take place. Like it if such topics are interesting, and under the tag #perfume business cosmetic bag you will find the articles I talked about today.
