Which Dubai stores are best for getting luxury beauty samples and gifts with purchase?

A recent shopper noted that in Dubai luxury stores, samples and gifts depend heavily on the individual shop and even the sales associate: one boutique may offer extras while another may not.

For better freebies, travelers recommend multi-brand stores in Mall of the Emirates, where beauty and fragrance purchases often come with more minis and gift-with-purchase items than single-brand boutiques.

One specific place mentioned is Harvey Nichols at Mall of the Emirates, where shoppers say staff can be especially generous with samples and extras.
