| - Just stopped by this weekend because they had a sale for people on their email list. My friend was shopping for a new fragrance and we met Daniel, who works at the Tom Ford fragrance counter. He was UBER-helpful, genuine and kind, without being overbearing or pushy. You could tell that he knew a LOT about fragrances (I don't, but my friend is quite the connoisseur and the two of them were talking about the ins and outs of different scents, using fancy terms like 'sillage' - which refers to the trail of a scent that lingers from a perfume, and talking about fragrance blogs) and loved sharing his passion with customers. My friend and I have very different tastes in perfumes. Once we told him what perfumes we like, he was able to find a bunch of options for each of us (in different price ranges) that were spot on. We were both really impressed by this. Many of the scents were unisex and he had worn them, so he could let us know the differences between them, like which ones will last all day vs. just a couple hours, or which ones got him the most phone numbers;P He asked for our names and got to know us and really went the extra-mile. He was chatty without being fake, didn't pressure us to buy on the spot (especially with fragrances, it's nice to try it on and walk around and see how it smells on you). If you are in the market for a new scent and are looking for something different from what everyone else is wearing, look for him. Holt's carries a bunch of lines that are exclusive or hard to find (e.g. Tom Ford private blends are only found at Holt's and Harry Rosen).
