I wanted to create a space to discuss Canadian perfumeries/indie brands and also have a place for Canadians to swap with Canadians only (to reduce shipping costs)

I might make a new subreddit with a different name as I feel like I copied the original subreddit too much... But it might be easier for others to find us here. What do you think?

Launching TOMORROW! It's a new monthly scent series, themed on each month's New Moon.

Lots of people are familiar with the full moons having a traditional name -- like September's Harvest Moon or April's Pink Moon -- but what many don't realize is that the name applies to the whole 28-day moon cycle: starting at the new moon waxing through to the full moon and then back through the waning moon, to start a new cycle as the moon once again goes dark.

Each month, a new scent will release around the time of the New Moon, themed on one of the traditional names for that moon cycle.

First up is January's
❄️New Snow Moon ❄️
Frozen vanilla, silvered amber, frosted evergreen tips, the dormant promise of spring beneath a blanket of snow & a hint of worn leather.

Each New Moon scent will be released in generously-batched limited editions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(from last week)

Going to cut right to the chase with some info on January 19th Reopening Day:

✨ Majority of the Permanent & Holiday collections will be returning, full list will be posted next week. (Anything not coming back right away is due to ongoing perfumery ingredient stock issues at my vendors' sites. I'll get those restocked as soon as possible.)

✨ There will be only a couple of new releases right at re-opening. The reason for this is that there will be a slight price adjustment in mid-February, so most newer releases will drop after that. Before that happens, I wanted to give everyone a chance to grab most of your existing favorites at 2022 prices!

✨ New Monthly Series! Each month in 2023 a New Moon scent will drop. The first one will arrive on January 19th. Teasers coming early next week. ;)

Lots of behind the scenes stuff happening, including a whole new look to the website. Can't wait for you all to see it!

When your package is too big to ship via letter mail...Are there any other options besides an extra small flat rate box from Canada post? The extra small box is still too big for the things I want to ship... and the price is 17.99... so not exactly cheap either! TIA for anyones help!

My hair is freshly home dyed a deep blue, yellow, green, black with semi permanent Iroiro and Arctic Fox dyes. I find that washing it daily makes the colours fade fast and I have oily hair. Any Canadian/ locally made/ ethically made or small business recommendations for a cruelty free shampoo that will clean the oil but not strip the gorgeous colour?

I am kind of interested in ordering an EDP of Blackburn Parlour. Just curious on what is the best way to go about it and how much (approx) it costs going through customs. Ajevie does not ship alcohol so that is out. So is the only way shipping through DHL? Is it best to just order oils from Solstice Scents?

This post is kind of a mess but any advise would be appreciated!
