    Waste of time

    ROSSCLARK, Apr 2026
    Absolute rubbish do not waste your time or money. The hat shop presentation is an a joke and the virtual realitity show is terrible

    VR experience

    TF_C, Mar 2026
    Interesting. Indoor VR showing old cologne. Nicely made vr video, full of details. The set up before the video was also nicely crafted.

    There were initially unpleasant problems where it looked like we had not paid the booking. That was pleasant to me
