One order-collection visit involved refusal to move items into a smaller bag and refusal to accept card payment for that bag.

The Bottom Line
Victoria’s Secret Beauty & Accessories in Al Mankhool is geared towards shoppers looking for housebrand lingerie, beauty products and gifts. The reviews are especially useful for perfume buyers: customers mention Bombshell perfume, help comparing scents and gift-wrapping. Lingerie shopping also comes up, although one visitor found the choice of panties limited while still finding the item they wanted.
The staff experience is usually the strongest reason to consider the store. Reviewers describe patient, approachable assistance with product explanations, gift ideas and promotions, and several say staff made browsing comfortable rather than pushy. Offers are a recurring theme, including displayed table promotions and a reported deal of 175 aed on new collections, though these are customer-reported examples rather than a current price list.
There are a few practical cautions. Reusable shopping bags have been charged separately, and one order-collection visit involved difficulty getting a smaller bag and paying for it by card. If you need a VAT refund, check the passport-scanning process before leaving.
For late visits, verify closing hours first: one customer found the website listed 11:00pm while the store had already said it was closed at 10:20pm on a Saturday.
