Scent Fluence stopped me in my tracks before heading to get my cup of Hot Chocolate several doors…read moredown. Fluence is the new pop-up (manager[?] hopes for permanency) on Harwood Court in Scarsdale aiming at dressing up homes and offices with essential oils and diffusers. Jaime was all smiles (yes...I felt it even with her mask on) and talked about oil blends used in their products. The interesting diffuser collection varies depending on the room's square footage you're using it in. My sleek portable diffuser is enough for my bedroom (primarily)- but I can easily move it to our home office, living room, my vanity room, walk-in closet or any other area of the house with ease. Plus I can also gauge how strong or how long I want the oils to diffuse. I've been enjoying diffusing my Sage+Vanilla (and Lavender I think) oil blend before bedtime to help quiet my mind, relax my body and get me into a restful state so that I can fall asleep more easily especially- during these challenging times. This is an excellent addition in chic Scarsdale and a much needed one at that. My home is my sanctuary and I'm sure yours is too. You can use sprays...but why would you want all those harmful ingredients around you when you can destress with some aromatherapy?

Last week, I read in the Scarsdale Inquirer about a new store that had opened on Harwood Court,…read morecalled Scent & Fluence. I was curious since I couldn't imagine a store that only sold "scents'. While walking on Harwood Court, I saw the store and a stranger walked up to me and said, "you should check out that new store, it smells incredible". I decided to go inside and as soon as I walked in the door I felt like I was being seduced by the most incredible fragrances. I realized that Scents and Fluence might be the best remedy to staying at home during our ongoing pandemic. You can have the most stimulating scents or aromatic ones pumped into your home via your heating and air-conditioning systems. You might choose to buy individual room "scenters" that can give off little blasts of fragrances that might stimulate your teenagers to be more motivated as they zoom with their classmates. I ended up buying some amazing hand sanitizers with fragrances that came in both masculine and feminine scents. For me, I bought a Bamboo hand sanitizer that came in a cool little bottle for $6. I put some on when I got into my car and I was astonished by how the aroma filled the vehicle; I inhaled and felt almost giddy. The owner, Caroline Fabrigas, was kind enough to explain all the unique features of her store and how these scents can enhance your home or office. I would urge you to visit her store and explore how you can improve your lives and those of the members of your family. As soon as I tried my Bamboo hand sanitizer I began to call some of my friends and urged them to plan on visiting Scents & Fluence. I don't normally get so excited about a new store, let alone one that sells " fragrances " but as we are often stuck at home and with the prospects of another shutdown looming, I think Scents & Fluence might help make staying hone more pleasant and possibly even more inviting.

I had a very unpleasant experience with the owner of this shop and her merchandise. As a result, I…read morewould warn any potential customers to think carefully before shopping here. Last week, I purchased a pair of Dolce and Gabbana heels for $100, on sale from $200. Three days later I wore the heels for the first time, to a wedding. After 40 minutes of standing and walking in the shoes, the heel separated entirely from the sole of the shoe. This morning I brought the heels to the shop and asked Zofia, the owner, for either a refund or store credit. I explained how the heels broke. She turned her back to me and strode over to the counter, picked up a sign that said "All sales are final" and held it up to my face for me to read. When I protested that she had sold me a defective product, she launched into a tirade, comparing her store to Neiman Marcus. I understand that Zofia's store policy is to protect her from people who change their mind about a purchase, or who try to return something after they wear it. However, an expensive consignment store should stand behind their merchandise, and should treat their customers with respect, or - at the very least - decency. I write this review not to air a grudge, but to warn future customers that they risk purchasing broken items at this shop, and that any attempt to return those items will be met with derision and scorn.

Small shop in this very charming and small village, love their carefully chosen quality selections…read more The owner is a lovely Polish lady who, if misinterpreted, will come off as being a bit reserved and cold, but we began to exchange some conversations and I found her to be very sweet and informative (it might help that I currently live in an area that has a large Polish population and have come to understand their cultural ways). She is precise with her policy, both as a buyer and seller, and sticks to her guns (I personally like that, know what to expect). I brought in some items and she was thorough in her examination, turning away several items due to stains or because she felt her clientele would not go for it (even though it was a name brand, she explained that her clients were more reserved). I will definitely be going back regularly to check out her merchandise and will recommend friends to go as well.

The prices are ridiculously inexpensive; compared to what you will pay at a store to get a cologne you can actually get several bottles of the oil/fragrance you may like.

This is my story: I bought a leather bag in Greenwich, CT store. When I came home I noticed 2 scratches on it, I called the store IMMEDIATELY. They refused to give me a refund pretending that it was the leather aspect. It was not on sale, I paid the full price. I should have been more cautious because while I was buying the bag, I tried blue jeans and I noticed a defect on it. I showed it to the employee and guess what? she put it back on the shelf...

I have a feeling this will be the beginning of an obsession with sample sales, since the prospect of adding unique flair to your wardrobe for not a lot of cash is verrrry appealing.
