Awkward Retail

I decided to take a trip to the mall the other day, specifically Dillard's to get my nose on a few fragrances. Rarely do I ever blind buy. I don't have the means to splurge on fragrances so if I am spending $ on a bottle, I have to REALLY like it.

I was perusing the vast collection of fragrances and an associate approaches me and asks if I need any assistance. I assure her I am fine and was just exploring the many fragrances at my fingertips. As I slowly made my way around the area she lingered on me like a shadow. Occasionally leering at me. I began sampling the Jo Malone collection I started feeling slightly irritated so to break the ice I started showing my knowledge of fragrance. I began telling her some of my favorite notes and why I like sampling before buying because I want to know how frags react to the oil in my skin. She seemed dumbfounded and eventually left me to my own devices. After the uncomfortable ordeal I left with several sample vials and potnetially found a new favorite fragrance 😁
