The winner for October's monthly draw is....

Melissa from Australia!

Congratulations, Melissa! You are the lucky winner of a roll-on bottle of Libra perfume oil. Hope you will enjoy this unique, creamy white floral with green nuances, with its notes of Galbanum, Clementine, Tuberose, Rose de Mai, Sandalwood and Tonka Bean.

On November 30th will have another draw for a bottle of Scorpio perfume.

How to enter the draw?
All customers who ordered online during the month of November will be automatically entered into the draw to win the Zodiac perfume oil of the month.

I can't believe September (and soon - October) has flown by so fast without me even announcing the winners yet for the monthly draw! Sorry to have taken so long... Indeed, the holiday season seems to start in September...

The winner was selected blindly and randomly by a third party (my little daughter Tamya) from amongst those of you who ordered online from AyalaMoriel.com during September. The Lucky winner of September's Monthly Giveaway is:

Yoko from Japan

Congratulations, Yoko!

You will be receiving in the mail a 10ml roll-on bottle of Virgo perfume shortly.

At the end of October we will announce the October winner, who will receive a luxurious roll-on bottle of a Zodiac anointing oil - Libra perfume!

We will continue with these monthly draws until the end of the year.

Ever since I've announced the discontinuation of the Zodiac perfumes, there has been a revival in the interest in them. I'm even beginning to get desperate emails from devastated customers that couldn't find them on my new website.

Well, here are a few good news for those who were unaware of Ayala Moriel's strict policy about making all scents available as special order. Even ones that were discontinued. That is upon two condition:

1) You must order a full bottle (either 8ml flacon or 10ml roll-on) - samples are not available for discontinued perfumes (for a simple reason: we only make these fragrances on special-order basis so we don't usually have them in stock).
2) The ingredients for making the perfume in question are available in the market. If a building block is "discontinued" so to speak (meaning: it's not in prodution and therefore we cannot acquire it anymore), there is not much we can do about it. Unless, of course, we change the formula!

Some of you may remember that the Zodiac perfumes are on a huge 50% clearance sale ($65 per each 10ml roll-on parfum oil bottle!) until the end of 2007. This is true as long as quantities last. Which means, that if you order a perfume that is no longer in stock, and we need to make a special batch for you - you will still be charged the full amount ($130).

To place your order, simply visit my old Quinta-Essentia website, on the Zodiac page. Select the Zodiac sign you want to purchase, and with one click you will be able to order your favourite Zodiac perfume oil (or creme parfum). If the fragrance is still in stock, you will be refunded immediately for the 50% discount. If we need to make it especially for you, the full price will be charged.

For your information, here is a list of the Zodiac perfumes still in stock:

Taurus - Oriental rose deepened with patchouli and vanilla and a sprinkled with a hint of palmarosa and tangerine.
