Happy Canada Day!!!

To celebrate the beauty of this vast country of maple, fir and incredible people I would like to offer you, my beloved Canadian customers, free shipping within Canada on all orders made from now (July 1st) till July 5th (your order will be refunded the shipping amount after you checkout - so don't panic when you get charged shipping on the way out :-).

I'm heading off to the beach to enjoy this beautiful day and will hopefully be able to resume posting as usual by Monday when my daughter starts summer camp and I can get some work done for a change ;-)

Happy Canada Day!

It's finally summer for Canada's birthday, and it's hot, hot, hot!
Make sure you drink lots of cranberry juice :) It will probably make more sense than maple syrup on a day like this...

I was trying to think of scents with real presence of either maple or cranberry notes, and came up with Lis Zorn's Pink Praline (which has real tincture of candied maple syrup), and my own Immortelle l'Amour (no true maple, but just the feel of it from the combination of immortelle and vanilla). As for cranberries - cranberry absolute has very little scent and is used mostly for flavouring. Cranberries themselves are not particularly fragrant either, so I guess I'm at loss for associating perfumes with Canada Day. Any ideas?
