They will also allow you to come in Tuesday-Thursday and meet with a specialist that can help you choose the perfect blend for yourself or for others. I will definitely be back. For now I settled for Opulence body butter and oil and & Rich Auntie. Parris my specialist was very helpful and knowledgeable about my likes and naming them with choices she thought I would like.

There's a table at the front with various scent samples and a wheel with different fragrance notes to help you decide what scents you might like. The space is so relaxing, and there's a coffee station and bar cart, so you can sip while you shop. The highlight for me was the bathroom! The walls are filled with photos of beautiful black women, and the shelves are stocked with black woman owned products like Black Girl Sunscreen, Black Girl Vitamins, and perfumes like Ce Noir and Brown Girl Jane. It was honestly so inspiring to see all the beautiful and amazing products. I purchased a hair and body mist in Honeymoon, which is a blend of coconut and oud. It smells DIVINE!!

I was greeted all over by friendly employees giving me the scoop on other deals the store had. The markdowns were 75% off for pumpkin scented stuff and 50% off pn a lot of stuff! I found great deals all over and I was finally happy to use gift cards from my birthday and Christmas. I stocked up on candles, lotions, shower gels, glitter sprays because I love love glitter. The aroma therapy stuff was $6 a true bargain! I checked out and I saw that I had an expired coupon from two days ago and they honored it! Hello! The cashier then told me she had a better coupon for me since I was balling. This store was fully stocked and checking out was a breeze and I was given another nice coupon for next time!

Jonathan's Fresh Flowers isn't just a florist--it's a wingman, a maestro of romance, a true Cyrano…read morede Bergerac of blooms. For two years running, Jonathan has ensured that my grand gestures of love are met with arrangements as stunning as the sentiment behind them. He remembered my purchase from last year's Day of Love and reached out proactively, ensuring my romantic game stayed as sharp as ever. That level of thoughtfulness? Unmatched. His work isn't just about flowers; it's about storytelling in petals--each bouquet a carefully curated sonnet, every bloom hand-selected with precision, every color and texture woven together in a masterpiece of affection. Jonathan's commitment to quality, composition, and care transforms a simple bouquet into a love letter without words. If you want to impress, woo, or simply remind someone that they are adored, Jonathan's Fresh Flowers is the only florist you'll ever need. Trust me--romance has never looked (or smelled) this good.

She was extremely accommodating and made absolutely perfect arrangements (see photos). Our guests are still raving about the flowers two months later! We had a morning ceremony and a brunch reception, so Maria prepared the boutonnieres for pickup the afternoon before and went to the reception venue the morning of the wedding to decorate the cake and place the arrangements. I am simply stunned by her generosity and supportive spirit throughout the process. Truly delightful. And, for those of you wondering, her pricing is extremely reasonable (no upcharge for saying "wedding!"). I would have paid more and expected less from anyone else. Maria absolutely exceeded our best hopes, and I am so grateful that she was a part of our special day!

I went ahead and reached out to them to provide flowers for my mom's 60th birthday. I had organized a small dinner in a private room at the Tabard Inn in Dupont. Once I emailed I heard back almost immediately. Maria's attention to detail was very impressive. I sent her photos of the space and she got back to me with arrangement ideas within my price range. Communicating with Maria was super easy as she always was quick in her responses. She also delivered my flowers earlier that day and let me know where they were etc. I would definitely use Darling & Daughters again- and will definitely recommend them!

Extremely poor customer service. First of all, the store is called Phone City so the title of the…read morebusiness is wrong. Secondly, the gentleman who performed the POS was annoying and condescending. Kept trying to explain scents to me and how to use them when none of that information was asked for. Lastly, the quality of the bottles they have is piss poor. Purchased patchouli oil which was overpriced in comparison to those found on Amazon of likely better quality, and the glass bottle apparently broke. It was placed in my car on the car seat - never dropped the bag, never sat anything upon it, never banged it, and alas the glass broke. Called to see if I could exchange, the guy said yes. Come to the place and it is a hassle. Listen, it is literally a day and a half since I last purchased and he's talking about I'll charge you at half price or something. No. You have poor quality containers. I have had bottles of juice on the actual floor of my car roll around and BANG against the damn metal portion of the seat without exploding into pieces. Yet your glass that is seated on a cushion breaks inexplicably and I have to pay more for that? Nope. Also, the way you then make accusatory claims against my person was the wrong path to go. "You broke it." No the freak I didn't. And if you had good customer service, you might stay away from making accusatory claims because that only angers people and ensures you lose business. I would have come back to place for future purchases given the ease and experience of actually smelling things in person. But Amazon it is -- superior quality, more options, fast shipping, and oh yeah if there is a problem with packaging I can return for a full refund or exchange. Hell, even if I don't like the scent I can return it. Either way, Amazon. For a person who owns a brick and mortar store, you need to focus on the customer experience or you too will see your business fall to the wayside like every other retail place. Thank you and good bye. (And I am cross posting on other review sites so no one else wastes their time with the oils in the phone store). ETA: wanted to also note that most essential oils that are high quality are kept in a darkened glass container for preservation. I'm pretty certain that the bottle was not REAL glass - probably plexiglass or some kind of acrylic - which could explain the fact that it broke so easily as well. All in all, I'd stay away. There's no ingredients listed on the bottles or way to verify what you're getting is high quality and/or organic. Only trust, and I have none of that based on my experience.
