    Extremely pushy salespeople…read more I went in earlier this week to look for a perfume I've wanted for a while. but was always too pricy for me to justify the cost of. Two employees greeted me and my boyfriend as we entered. I walked over to a shelf to look for the perfume I wanted to buy. Immediately I was offered a sample by the first employee. I told them I didn't want help. I was then asked what kind of fragrance I usually wear; I told them, and immediately regretted it, because I realized they were then going to use it to push more product on me. I was right. The second employee started telling me how much she liked the bottle of my usual fragrance. The first employee then started saying they had a fragrance for me to try out. I once again said I didn't want any help. The first employee then told me it was "her job to help me". At this point, I realized my boundaries were not being respected, and that they were only going to bother and pressure me until I purchased something. I told them I was all set, and walked out of the store immediately. It's a shame, because they had the perfume I was looking to buy for the lowest price I've seen, and would have qualified for the buy one, get one 50% off sale. They would have had a sale, had they not been so pushy and made me so uncomfortable.

She helped me explore scents I never would've reached for on my own, and somehow still created something that felt so me. I ended up loving the experience so much that I literally came back the very next day with my best friend - and Kristy took incredible care of us. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to help us create something unique. The whole experience is a bang for your buck. You get high-quality ingredients, one-on-one attention, and you leave with a custom fragrance that feels so special. If you're in Boston and even thinking about making your own perfume, go here. It's fun, affordable, and such a cute memory to make with someone you love. I cannot recommend Ola Factory enough! Update: went back an extra last time before my flight out of Boston, got Betty again and it was like seeing an old friend. She's the best. Wish this concept would come to LA! It would be a hit. Make sure to make this your go to Boston activity!

She guided us through the entire process with so much patience !!she was able to help each of us create a scent that truly personal. I ended up with a custom fragrance called Jolie, and I'm obsessed. It's soft, elegant, and somehow captures me in a bottle. The whole experience felt luxurious and thoughtful, and we left with signature scents that we can't stop raving about. The only downside? Newbury Street parking is not it--definitely try to Uber or take the T if you can. But honestly, it's worth the hassle. This is such a fun experience to do with friends or sisters, and Aretha made it unforgettable. Highly recommend

Two weeks ago, while visiting, I walked in here out of curiosity and because I'm a frag-head. I walked out with three skincare products and three perfumes over the span of two days! The staff (especially Chuck) are friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. I've already used up a-third of one of the perfumes because it is THAT good! I'll be a customer for life! --- EDIT: In case anyone was curious as to the perfume which I had quickly used up, it was... *drum roll* ...ROSA NOVELLA! What a gorgeous fragrance!!! I initially did not like it the first day I visited this store. And that was only because I was expecting the scent of a traditional rose. It was anything but! I smelled it again the next day and couldn't help but keep sniffing the affected part of my forearm! Rosa Novella cocooned me in past memories that I didn't have, teased me with re-incarnations that I didn't live, and submerged me in landscapes unimaginable beyond the horizon of this observable universe. It's sexy, intelligent, and electrifying. What kind of sorcery was this?!? I knew I had to buy it the second day I came back. My only regret was not getting the larger size (100 ml). Alas, I can always order it in the future!!

    Amazing shop. Amazing staff (shout out to Marcus). I went in with a short list and was shown so…read moremany amazing scents. Marcus listened to comments and made spot on recommendations. That was just the service portion. The space is very calm, and welcoming. Beautifully done. Stands out nicely from its neighboring shops. The product is other level. Classic scents but done extremely well. They will have the best version of what you are looking for. Will visit anytime I am in the city from now on.

These are really good quality natural/raw fragrances that are beginner and sensitive friendly. As a person sensitive to smells and who doesn't really wear fragrances for fear of them being too powerful or causing migraine, I was skeptical of trying perfume. I was recommended to try BYREDO by my friends roommate who is into perfume because this business uses natural/raw ingredients to formulate their fragrances. I walked in and it was empty so I got some great service and tried almost all of the perfumes, and I realized what I liked/didn't like. It's hard to commit to just one fragrance so I opted to get a smaller perfume. Well the salesperson recommended I actually get 3 small ones for only $40 more. This is a great deal for a beginner like me who wants quality products and to explore what I like. And on top of that I was given the option of 3 free samples. And then they threw in a couple samples of body wash as well. I feel so pampered and am excited to wear my new perfumes. They didn't overwhelm me and since they are natural they won't trigger a migraine.
