I wish one of the sales people was uninviting while my daughter tried to snake random shoes. The sweet woman at the cashier talked with us and another woman came out from the back. I was waiting to get the stink eye from someone... anyone? I chased mini-me around the store and boom- a pair of low, black boots with buckles and side zipper. Sigh. They fit me like a glove. Gulp. I don't even want to tell you how much they were. Suffice it to say that, even with the 40% sale (thank goodness), they were hella expensive. I bought them, wore them out, and got a compliment on them before I was even done paying. I mean, these shoes are siiiiiick. Damn you, Iro. You're irresistible. This is a beautiful store with really friendly salespeople and ridiculously stunning clothes. I can't afford to frequent it, but if they're still here next year, I'll make a purposeful visit for a really special treat.

I always have been a fan of Affliction and the way they design their clothing items for men no matter if it's the jackets, jeans, shirts, beanie hats, accessories. Service at Affliction - Seal Beach always been a plesant experience when shopping for clothing such as jackets, long sleeve shirts and jeans. I am happy with the Affliction team here. Value of each item of clothing and accessories explains in its own way no matter what if it's the jeans, the long sleeve shirts, accessories it's all in the design of it. How does each jeans fit? All depends what your looking for in a jean some may fit loose, some may fit snug or some will fit just right. The shirts the same some will fit just right and others may hang loose just depends on what your looking for. The motorcycle they have in the showroom is a very beautiful piece of art. Thanks everyone for the pleasant experience at Affliction - Seal Beach

I had a wonderful experience with Trudon Melrose in West Hollywood and felt compelled to share it…read more I called the store looking for a last-minute birthday gift and spoke with Noah, who was incredibly helpful, calm, and thoughtful from start to finish. He guided me to the Joséphine candle, offered to beautifully wrap it, and promptly sent an invoice so I could pick it up before closing. I arrived before closing and not only was everything perfectly prepared, but Noah remembered my name immediately. That level of attention is rare and genuinely appreciated. Since I had a few minutes before the store closed, I browsed the shop, which is impeccably organized and a pleasure to be in. I asked about the wax cameo melts and mentioned I wasn't sure if I had seen all the available sets. Noah made a great recommendation and even offered me a sample, which was such a thoughtful touch. I also appreciated the convenience of being able to write a birthday message on a Trudon card right there in the store. My friend absolutely loved the gift and couldn't wait to try it. Exceptional service, beautiful products, and a seamless experience--Noah truly made this visit special. I will absolutely be back.

I had enough overpriced candles in my life before Trudon showed up. Diptyque, Comme des Garçons, Jo…read moreMalone, La Note Parisienne, Prada, Byredo, Annick Goutal, Penhaligon's, Etro, Malin + Goetz ― I had more than enough companies offering me high-fallutin' ways that I could literally burn my money (and those are just the ones I took up on the offer). But I fell for the gateway drug of Carrière Frères, the "junior" brand that is, in fact, the company that owns the fancier Trudon. When I found out there was a Trudon boutique in L.A., I was a goner. You can find the official Cire Trudon history on their website: They became chandlers to the church and monarchy in seventeenth century France, and their wares lit up cathedrals and châteaux. Reading between the lines, it seems the company disappeared sometime in the nineteenth century, after being bought by the Carrière Frères company, only to be resurrected as a brand of high-end luxury scented candles just recently. So Trudon's heritage is both old and, truth told, pretty new. Regarding scented candles, Carrière Frères has a longer history, and their aesthetic is firmly rooted in botanical fragrances: Each scent is modeled closely to a single flower, herb, wood, etc. Their Tomato fragrance, which smells mostly of tomato leaves, is a green and refreshing scent popular for absorbing kitchen odors. Trudon's main line of candles range from the damp (Balmoral ― the smell of a foggy Scottish moor) to the exotic (Ottoman ― a spice market in the souk) to the suggestively louche (Odalisque ―orange blossom toilet water in a bordello). Even when they weren't exactly my taste, there was no denying their quality. Their price, that was something else, though the gram-per-gram price difference with Diptyque is just pennies in the end. The store itself is rather spare; compared to the beautiful new renovation at Diptyque's Larchmont boutique, I would hope to see more than the large expanse of largely bare white walls. Design-wise, this is not the flagship store the brand deserves. Service was excellent ― the sales associate (Adam, I believe) was engaged, friendly, and very passionate about the brand. I honestly did not expect to spend $125 on a candle I did not need, but I did. (That, and $65 on a Carrière Frères candle, too.) I had seen Trudon candles in many high-end boutiques around town and really didn't think much of them, but the Trudon boutique turned me around on the brand. Given that I now have another expensive candle brand to burn my money, I'm not sure how I feel about that...

The only reason I go here is for the Slow Jamz Art Gallery record listening parties. The parking is…read moretricky, but if you get here early enough for that party you can park in any of the spots except the ones designated valet parking. The lot is small so carpool if you can. They advise against parking outside of the lot as it is a sketchy area and literally homeless encampments surrounding the outside. I'm pretty brave and tried walking around back to see if there was a different entrance to Ixta and it was scary. This was during daylight hours at 6 p.m. Anyway, not much here to look at, parking lot is small but manageable and the Slow Jamz Art Gallery is an entire vibe. I've been here four times already in the last three months.
