"Gifts" from Cartier SAs

[scheurin]

the Australian SAs don’t have an affinity to the European heritage of the brands.

This is totally understandable being expelled from Europe years ago.

There is another note I want to cheer in. Obviously it depends on culture of yourself and the SA. At a Cartier boutique in Europe I grabbed a really nice book and started reading. This means I am *really* interested in so they gave it to me as a gift. And I refer to a book worth $250 Surely, in the US and Asia I wouldn't have received that. On the other hand I am sure that in Asia there are oher habits we westerners aren't familiar with at all.

In the US when I bought a brand new car there was a discussion if I'm allowed to use their car-wash complimentarly as it was a bit dirty. Really strange. However, they go the extramile for service if you like to buy say at after-store hours.

Still, a cleaning kit and a travel pouch just have to be standard.

Just came back from Hawaii (Oahu) and bought my first Love Bracelet. The SA gave me a magazine, cleaning kit, travel pouch. She also gave me and my fiancé cologne to try. She was nice answering all my questions and being patient with me trying on different things.

Awesome! I will be in Oahu on June, can hardly wait. Cartier prices in Oahu are the same as mainland, right?

Prices are the same as online from all the items I tried on (Love). Sales Tax is around 4.7% in Oahu compared to here (Palo Alto) it's 9%. They usually have plenty of appointments at the Ala Moana for the next day.

Although I'd be willing to bet nobody does it, when a resident of California buys something out of state with a lower or no sales tax you're required to pay the difference to California!

Wow, didn't know. "Use tax" i suppose?

I have received candles, champagne, tons of cleaning kits, and other gifts in the past by my amazing SA but today’s gift was the cutest. I stopped by just to add a link to my ballon bleu and my SA saw that I was pregnant. She brought out a bag and said it’s just a small gift for the baby soo cute! It will look adorable on the shelf of our baby’s nursery when he arrives

I live in Honolulu and go to the Ala Moana location. All the SAs there are great. Too bad they don't give a 10% percent discount like all the other fashion houses. Cartier and Chanel are the only ones that don't.

Love the gift! I wish my city had a boutique. I never received a gift when I bought a thin love bracelet with Cartier online, only received a perfume sample in the package.

May I ask, what does this candle smell like or is it unscented? Thanks.

It smells like one of the Perfumes of Cartier...actually pretty strong in the room I put it back in its box and try not to put my handbag close to it..
I took a pic of the note of the candle for you

Thank you! I wear a lot of Cartier fragrances and was wondering about this. Appreciate your response and the photo!

I was told by my SA that the fragrance of the candle isn’t available as any of their perfumes. They also have a room spray version that they use at their boutiques. Unfortunately it’s not for sale.
