Yves Chantre Paris

The only reason I’m leaving any stars is because I have to.
My husband and I walked passed this store this past Sunday, as we did, a young lady told me she had a free gift for me, I politely told her no thank you. She kept trying to get me to take it, I wouldn’t. We finally got away from her but could still here her talking at me.
In order to leave, we had to walk back by. We were walking on the opposite side of her store and she starts in on me again, this time taunting me. I admit, after I was away from her store and she was still going, I did flip her off, my bad.
I do not go to the mall to have sales people try to get me to buy their products when I’m walking by their kiosk or store, in fact that makes me not want to have anything to do with them.
I took a picture of the store, found them online, emailed them today, only to be told that they are not affiliated with that shop in that mall. It is the same website that is listed in this Unilocal listing and there is the very same image that I took Sunday in this listing.
The signature line on their email has their address and phone number mind you. I then pulled up the mall directory, with the name, directory location, same phone number and same address. Hmmm… I think someone doesn’t want to take responsibility. I took a picture of the mall directory with the suite number, name, and address, sent that picture and the one of the store name.
Still denies that it’s them.

I love Yves Chantre Paris cologne for men and every time I’d stop by, they would have special packages and throw in a free item. The salesman are very friendly, attractive and have good sales pitches that works all the time but what gives this place 3 stars is because they can’t find a permanent location and they are always moving from one hotel to another, the sales woman told me it’s because they want to be in a popular location with a lot of foot traffic.
First they were in Bally’s, Flamingo, Caesars Palace Forum Shops, Mandalay Bay Place, Cosmopolitan and now Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, I thought this was very inconvenient but business is business. You have to find a way to make it in this economy.
=O

I love love love perfume. I’m a cheapskate when it comes to buying things for myself but one thing I do indulge in is perfume. So when someone approached my friend and I as we were rushing out of the 3 Mile shops in Las Vegas and he was coming out of a perfume shop, I couldn’t help myself. He foreign-​accented me into buying their big bottle of Hyacinth perfume and gave me all that free stuff with it: hand lotion, eye gel, body wash, shea butter body lotion, hand/​nail treatment, face wash, etc. I was E-​X-​C-​I-​T-​E-​D!
I kept the perfume and its buddies in the nice little shopping bag he gave me, set it in the corner of the car next to a bag of clothes and chocolates, and left for San Diego. By the time I reached SD, the bottle was BROKEN! Wtf! I’ve had perfume bottles stuffed into luggage, shoved into gym bags, tossed into piles, and no problem-​o. This thing??? It wasn’t even next to anything break-​inducing! I wasn’t driving like a maniac. The only thing I was guilty of was driving with my windows down and the heat on in summer because my car was overheating (and NO, I didn’t call the M&M store to complain about the melted chocolates).
SOOO of course I call the Yves Chantre store as soon as I notice it’s broken. Store associate was great, took my number down for the manager to call me. Did the manager call? No, of course not. I call again and another nice store associate gave me the name («Dasha») and number of the manager. Did she answer? No, of course not. Did she return my call? You guessed it! No way! Not even a «I’m so sorry, this NEVER happens with our products, it must have been a fluke!», etc, etc, etc. I called a couple more times and one time she accidentally called my number and hung up right away. Lame.
I realize there may be only limited things that can be done (if anything at all) to rectify the situation, but I expected at least a phone call regarding the product and why the bottle was so easily broken. Are all the bottles so cheap? I mean, I don’t expect to be able to play football with the damn bottle but at least be able to carry it reasonably in a bag in my car???
Btw, when I bought the perfume, I was told that the promotion they were offering that day was because it was a grand opening (just opened yesterday!) and that it was special pricing, etc. However, google search showed this other review on here for this same package in *2007*! I’m not sure if this is all part of some scam to sell perfume in cheaply made bottles and claim limited time offers but I think it speaks a lot to the quality of a company when the manager won’t even have the courtesy to call and at least back their product up. I assume this must only be because this sort of situation happens often and the company is not looking for repeat customers, hence the false advertising as well.
So, ladies, go ahead and put your pumps on and run, don’t walk, AWAY from this store. If the product is so damn special, then pack it in something decent.
