ORIENTALS

It's undertsandable that not all like the combination of vanilla and chocolate in the Soft Oriental fragrance MAYA but they were considered key ingredients in a fragrance whose genesis was Mexico as both aromatic ingredients came from there (in fact chocolate is an Aztec word which found its way into the English language via the Spanish Conquistadores. We are trying to exactly recreate the historical aroma experience.

SAMPLING

Because the range is new not all are available in sampler form yet except as testers in the retailers selling. However the fragrance families they belong to (and modern fragrances in the same family) are listed on the website To use a music shop analogy if you were into heavy metal I would send you to that section of my shop and not the classical section. Then you could decide if the “music” suited.

US AVAILABILITY

It may be that some of the retailers offering the scents (see website) can despatch to US but since 9/11 things have got tougher in terms of air dispatch as all perfumes (not just mine) have considerable amounts of alcohol in them and now carry a UN number- 1266.

Hope above useful and thanks for your own comments which are valuable to me.
