The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
New customers sometimes get upset with me because they don’t listen to what I am saying to them.
They see my videos on Social Media and hear me sounding very articulate and well informed about perfumes and they think I am a miracle worker who can solve all their fragrance dilemmas.
While both men and women tend to behave badly at times, the women are the worst but we all know as women that women are our own worst enemies, and just like the paralyzing crime situation in Trinidad and Tobago, we choose to ignore it hoping it would go away.
I keep telling all of you that Jesus and I are born in the same month but in this lifetime he did not grant me the superpowers to look at anyone and tell you what perfume you would love and what will last on you, so we have to do things the old fashioned way…there is no instant gratification when it comes to spending your hard earned money in this guava season.
What is most sad about all of this is that I have your best interests at heart…not mine, and you don’t recognize this and therefore you are unappreciative of me looking out for you.
You have two ears and one mouth and that should be an indicator that you need to speak once and listen twice but some people want to talk incessantly and never listen and then expect perfect solutions to problems they can avoid in the first place.
Ladies you are very guilty of coming to me and wanting to smell my entire store and getting angry when I tell you that you cannot and you need to invest in yourself and buy my 2 ml sample decant packs.
I know that our education system is a failure in that it does not teach us to critically think nor does it facilitate us using our God given common sense and challenge the status quo but let’s deduce what brought you to me in the first place.
Most times you have a shelf full of perfumes that you do not like and a lot of them you purchased in Duty Free or abroad when you travelled.
The reason why you don’t like most of the perfumes you have in your collection is because you tested the fragrances incorrectly in the first place and no one was willing to tell you differently because they just wanted your money and they analyzed that they would probably never see you again so no harm done.
Here’s a gentle reminder. Perfume shops are not neutral environments to test perfumes so stop trying to test perfumes in the store.
Stop asking to smell the sprayers of perfume bottles because that is not how you test a perfume and Covid-19 should have taught us that we do not put other people’s belongings to our nostrils because I cannot determine what snot or nasal mucus you are carrying. Yes it is very nasty just like you have read it. If you want to buy sophisticated perfumes act the role and stop sniffing like dogs do.
Tomorrow we will investigate the biggest mistake you make and you don’t even know it.
