The staff seem knowledgeable and eager to help which is always nice especially if it is a gift. My favorite time of year in the shop is January. Christmas stock is reduced so the gift sets drop to around 15 20 pound each and this is when I buy favorite scent Christian Dior Pure poison as at this price you can't go wrong. Prices vary some fragrances are cheaper than elsewhere others no so as always look around but The perfume shop in Poole is always my first port of call.

Most people think that Superdrug is in competition with Boots, but in fact they are co owned. Superdrug has a good selection of goods; cosmetics, toiletries, electrical, and first aid.

The in-store offers are always really appealing and at Christmas their range of gifts is impressive. Recently Superdrug's perfume area was moved and now unlike most perfume shops you are allowed to roam freely among the scents trying them as you please so none of the having to ask an assistant over and over again. The layout of the shop is easy to negotiate and understand but it can get busy at peak times like all shops in the town.

Excellent cometics, clothing and household goods as well as gifts. Anything from here is going to be of good quality, and there are classic ranges as well as high fashion. I really feel that Dingles, like Beales, give Bournemouth, in terms of shopping, a bit of class.

The nearest is the multistorey which is a good 5 minutes walk away. The store is a great place to get those special, good quality Christmas gifts and has loads of perfume stands. I would recommend this store.

There is always brilliant offers on in-store and they have a free Loyalty scheme where you build up points that then turn into vouchers to spend in store!! As their by-line suggests, this store really is 'Heaven for your Home' - I just love it! The candles and fragrances are amazing and really do smell like they say and last for ages! The gift & baby range is gorgeous - great quality and I can always find something that little bit unusual and special. Just looking at the brilliant window displays is inspriation enough! All the staff are so friendly and helpful - I love a bit of good old fashioned service! I have even had a Home Party which was great fun. They also do Private Shopping - a party in store in the evening for just you and your friends - I have booked one for later on in the year to avoid the xmas crowds!! - (now thats what i call shopping!) Definately worth a visit if you are a fan of Yankee Candles, or simply like lovely things!!

The store is in a great location in the centre of town, so really convenient for browsing or picking up a few things when you're out shopping. Debenhams also offers a great points-based reward card for cosmetics purchases, the Beauty Club Card, giving you a £5 discount for every £167 you spend - there are better reward programs out there but always helpful if you shop here often. The customer service, however, is my main complaint! Most of the time there will be absolutely no-one to be seen at a counter. When I've asked other staff members to help me, even when I know the exact item I want to purchase, they're quite unfriendly and seem like they'd rather be doing literally anything else than serving me and act like my business is a huge hassle and inconvenience to them. Many times I've just gone to buy the same thing in another department store up the road instead! Conversely, when there is someone at the counter, on several occasions I felt like I was being forced into a purchase, as if the staff were completely desperate to get rid of certain products, rather than considering my personal needs or being genuinely helpful. A miserable and stressful shopping experience! Additionally, I would NOT recommend the Benefit Brow Bar at this location! I'd heard so many good things about Benefit and wanted to get my overgrown brows shaped in time for my upcoming holiday, instructing the technician to leave them full with a natural shape, as I only wanted them tidied up. Rather than using the vacant treatment room, she waxed my brows in front of all the customers (and this was quite a busy day) and I noticed a few laughing and sniggering at my discomfort. It was much more painful than any brow waxing I'd ever experienced as she kept waxing the same areas over, and when I looked in the mirror.. nearly all of my brow hairs were gone! Instead of full, luscious brows I was left with two skinny tadpoles and an expression of permanent surprise. I started to cry a little after seeing them and she had the audacity to ask if I wanted to make another appointment! Needless to say I will NEVER go back and had to use so much makeup to make them resemble eyebrows for months afterwards. If you want value for money and a pleasant shopping experience, stay well away! Although Debenhams have a rewards system and sometimes have deals worth browsing in the sales after Christmas, I won't be coming back any time soon. There are other department stores in town selling the same products with far better customer service!

There are always enough staff in here to help, and they will offer you spray sticks with samples as you want to try things out.

My friend showed me these today...been coming here all these years and never spotted them. These are amazing. Massage oils and oil burners...herbs and candles! The candles are amazing. This is one of the main reasons that I come here. I also enjoy buying the incense concoctions, full of resins and herbs and spices from all over the world. Very evocative and there are shelves full of recipes to chose from. If you come to Glastonbury, this is a place you really should visit, if you are at all interested in the power of fragrance.

The last time I was at Aqua Sana, I had the infra red treatment before having a Swedish Massage. Apparently the infra red treatment warms up the muscles so they can go straight into the massage and not have to spend the first 10mins warming the muscles. I'll take their word for it, all I know is that it was all amazing. There's a also a cafe area in the spa where you can buy light meals, snacks and drinks.
