I have a hard time finding fragrances and candles that don't give me a terrible headache, but…read moreOnata's fragrances have proved me wrong. I first learned about Onata while attending an art market in Houston, where the owners were there selling the candles. The amazing smells of the candles quickly drew me in, and I couldn't leave without buying one of their travel sized candles. I went for the "Isra" scent, and I cannot speak highly enough of it! The owner explained to me that she had gone through trial and error, finding fragrances that are strong enough to fill your home, but gentle enough to not cause headaches or migraines. She was right -- this small candle has filled my office with a sweet, cozy smell for days and no headaches (for once!). I love that they are made entirely of soy and have all-cotton wicks, making them a more natural alternative to what you buy at a store. I am already planning on when I can stop by their shop again to buy a bigger size of the "Isra" and other choices they had available! Support small businesses and support Onata!

The River Oaks location is a wonderful addition to the brand. The manager, Rosa is absolutely…read moreoutstanding. The associates are attentive and helpful without hovering, a balance between service and allowing customers to browse comfortably. What I especially appreciate is the atmosphere. Unlike many of the Houston stores that are often crowded with demanding customers, this location maintains a calm, pleasant environment that makes shopping enjoyable. It truly feels like a hidden gem. It's also one of the few BBW stores in Houston that I haven't witnessed the constant, brazen shoplifting that has unfortunately become commonplace in retail and especially in this crime ridden city. Combined with the exceptional merchandise and thoughtfully curated inventory, the River Oaks store offers a refined shopping experience that keeps me coming back. It has quickly become one of my favorite places to shop in Houston.

Which I'm thankful for because they have changed their policy whereas its not as simple as before. I appreciate the lady who informed me of the policy to whereas the return updates monthly or either every 3 months. Not annually as I thought. I thought it was just $250 per year of return and exchanges without a receipt. I'm not the best to keep up with paper with receipts, and I really dislike whenever they select the choice for me, if I want it print or emailed. Now if you going to choose something for anyone, select BOTH, not just one, especially when you have this strict policy on returns. which is why I try to stay out as much as I use to shop there.

Again, thank you for the response and I am now a bit more open to visiting your shop. I stopped by to look for a goat milk soap for my mom. The two men working at the register suddenly stood up and were on high alert. Immediately my friend and I felt like we were being watched. They had a good selection of soaps which led me to pick up a honey bar of soap. Seconds after, the young caucasian man told me he could hold it for me in the front. Mind you I had no bags in my hands and neither of us were hiding. If I could give it 0 stars I would. I didn't walk in to be racially profiled or observed like some wild animal.

That wasn't even the part that is SO disappointing. The lotion did NOT SMELL like Another 13. Not sure what is happening but was told they don't make it in the shop there. It's sent to them and I guess all they do is package it. Only found out once I left the store and went to put it on. Immediately I knew so I went straight back in (after finding a new parking spot) and asked if the formula changed (thats when I was told they don't do it there) so because there was essentially NO SCENT -not even their tester I asked to exchange it for a different one. Super pissed I was forced to buy anything when I couldn't get what I went for. They were out of the 110 bottle and I was almost going to buy one of the perfumes and I'm so glad I didn't. I will NEVER give this place my money again. Sticking to Neiman Marcus. Bunch of rude people!
