I visited here to see if I could find an older, more difficult to find fragrance for myself. When I asked the workers there if they carried it, I was told me they hadn’t carried it for two years and laughed amongst themselves. At that point I was obviously feeling very uncomfortable. I proceeded to ask about one or two other fragrances, but the saleswoman had no idea about notes or silage, or any basic fragrance knowledge that one could garner in 10 minutes of internet research. I suspect that they had simply not been trained well at all, as the owner has looked bored and disinterested in customers both times I’ve browsed there. They do have slightly better prices than large department stores. However, I’d rather pay an extra ten dollars and take my business elsewhere.

This is as good a store as any if you are looking for to get a fragrance. The store is dedicated completely to colognes and perfumes. It is packed with huge selection of smells that will take some time to sort through if you don’t know exactly what you are looking for. There is no real direction within the store so you have to be patient. Personally I think a place like the bay is a better choice because they have all the different brands sectioned apart and huge promotional signs directing you where to go. It makes things a lot simpler. This place isn’t bad at all and they do carry some brands that you can’t find anymore. If you are desperately looking for a perfume or cologne, this would be a good place to start.

If you enjoy wearing perfume or colon this is a good place to check out. No Excuses — Perfumes For Less in West Ed is an outlet of sorts for perfumes and colons for both men and women. They carry name brand and hard to find(yes that means discontinued) fragrances. Prices are reasonable and products are worth taking the time to check out. Staff were friendly and accommodating. One could feel a bit overwhelmed when they walk in because the shelves and displays are packed with boxes — there aren’t much promotional displays like you would find in other stores, but if you’re coming here your probably looking for something specific so attention grabbing display probably won’t be necessary. Another thing, if you have a sensitive sniffer don’t both coming because perfume scents are everywhere — go figure.

If you’re shopping for perfume, there’s isn’t much more you could ask for. No Excuses has got a crazy amount of perfume, some of which I haven’t even heard of before! I respect this store because they have just as much men’s cologne as they do women’s perfume, which is rare in stores like this. Their prices are also a tad cheaper than what you would find at London Drugs or The Bay. I guess you could say there’s «no excuse» to not shop here(*teehee*).

This place has the most perfume I have ever seen in my entire life — and then some! I was curious about his place because every time I walk by it, I see these gigantic perfume bottles. So I decided to actually check it out. The guy working was actually pretty helpful. I told him I was just going to browse so he let me. As I browsed, I started to ask questions and he was able to answer all of them. I will definitely come back to this store when I have perfume or cologne to buy for someone. I don’t wear perfume or else I would have bought some for myself. They have every perfume and cologne I’ve ever heard of and then so much more. It’s insane!
