"Conservatorium has a fascinating past. It started as a bank and then became a music academy before renowned Italian designer Piero Lissoni transformed it into a hotel in 2012. The building itself harmoniously blends old and new, with modern steel beams and glass walls complementing original brickwork and wooden beams. The hotel houses one of the city’s largest and most decadent spas—a subterranean temple to holistic wellness, with its own hammam, Watsu pool, lap pool, and more. Its restaurants and bars are also among the trendiest and most highly acclaimed in the city. Upon arrival, each guest is assigned a personal host to offer recommendations, reservations, and historical tidbits."
1–2 years ago lovely consultants always offered me a variety of samples to choose from and I could even request a specific perfume I wanted to try they would make a sample just for me. Now I honestly don’t understand the point of my VIP Level 5 membership if I never receive samples that match my preferences or only get one and it’s usually a terrible perfume that doesn’t suit my taste at all.
Today, my purchase was over €240 and I was given just only 1 sample of a fragrance I don’t like. Skims, you promise your members personalized offers and exclusive samples based on our preferences so where are they?

We’ve been loyal customers here for over seven years, shopping monthly without issue. However, during my husband’s visit today, he encountered a staff member he hadn’t seen before who was unexpectedly rude. She made a big deal out of him not speaking Dutch, which left him feeling very uncomfortable. It was an unpleasant experience - staff should not be giving a judgmental attitude to customers, very unprofessional.

I visited this place to try some fragrances I found online, and I was curious about. I managed all by myself, but when I asked one of the employees if they had some coffee beans to reset the sense of smell, I received a cold and discourteous "No". Rude! No wonder there are so many reviews about the lack of sympathy and customer service in this shop. I'll never be back again

I bought several perfumes here over the past years. They've got a good selection of perfumes, and you can also ask for samples that you can take home to try them out before buying.
However, I found many of the staff to have quite an "attitude" in the way they interacted with me. Not friendly, and occasionally even arrogant.

As usual if you don't speak Dutch you ain't worth much. But my money is the same as the money of someone who is fluent in Dutch, I should assume

Not generous smpl at all, i bought perfume of 275 euro, and received just 2 smpls. Very disappointed!!! :( recommend to go de bijenkorf department store. They are definitely more kind.

Good selection, clean place, helpful and very polite staff. I love coming back.
The o ly thing is that it is very inconvenient to not have any trash cans for the perfume strips and you are forced to just place them on the shelves but staff cleans them regularly. I'd still recommen to add that for better experience, aesthetics, and to make staff lives easier.
