Fresh Bet Bits, Claire Burke Original Memories, Home Fragrance Product Updates and Commentary

I have long known of Aromatique and remember admiring it nearly 10 years ago when I started this business. Aromatique has always stood firm that they only allow brick & mortar gift shops to retail their beautiful products. For this reason, we were never eligible before to offer this fine product line.

This month, while attending the January Gift Show in Atlanta, I stopped into their showroom to try again. Voila! Success! So, I am indeed proud and excited to report that we have now been accepted as an Aromatique retailer in our area.

We are starting out with 2 new scents that have just arrived at the store:
* Fresh Fig
* The Smell of Spring

Over the next 1-2 months we expect to receive:
* Peach Pizazz (NEW)
* Citrus Plum Berry
* Summer Sorbet

We will be offering: Room Sprays, Refresher Oil w/brass ring set, Reed Diffusers and Glass Candles. They gave me a Peach Pizazz votive candle to bring home and I have to tell you I was VERY IMPRESSED with the fragrance and scent throw. For such a small candle, it did an excellent job of fragrancing my entire kitchen and even wafted into the living room. Excellent performance!

Their glass candles are 5 oz and sell for $10.00 - a great value! Their room sprays are comparable to Claire Burke and sell for $10.00. I am so happy to be able to offer you a brass light ring with refresher oil set. These are perfect for winter evenings.

We will be working hard to get all these new items uploaded to the site asap. In the meantime, feel free to call the ladies at our toll-free number (1-800-322-0525) and they will gladly take your phone order.

The Claire Burke inventory situation seems to be slowly improving. Currently we are awaiting our first shipment from their new Canadian warehouse which seems to be taking forever to arrive!

These items are already enroute to us:
Apple Jack Warmer Refills, Reed Diffusers, Hand Soap, Tin Candles & Potpourri
Vitabath Gelee Gallons - all scents
Festive Simmer Oil Samplers
Original Tin Candles, Vapourri, Parfum, Luxury Candles, Votives
Sea Simmer Oil, Warmer Refills

We expect the above items to arrive by the end of this week. I asked about the status of a few other items which are out of stock:

Original Warmer Refills - expected to arrive at the Factory on Feb 1, 2008.
Apple Jack & Peel Simmering Oil - not expected to arrive until May 20, 2008.
Original Lampourri Oil - due at the warehouse on Feb 20, 2008.
Original Reed Diffusers - due to us within 2 weeks.
Christmas Memories & Oh Christmas Tree Warmer Refills - sometime in May or June 2008.

Please know that we are doing our best to keep you informed. We appreciate your patience!

We only recently added the Caswell-Massey line and it has been quite well received. Their men’s lines are wonderful so we thought we should expand the ladies bath & body offering.

Our 2 new scents are: Almond & Aloe and English Lavender. Caswell-Massey tells me these are their top selling ladies scents. Deb has already been using the Almond & Aloe lotion and seems to simply love it! I recall Jenn always like the scent of Almond too. My personal favorite would be the Lavender.

In Almond & Aloe, we are starting out with Cold Cream Bath Soaps, Foaming Bath gel and Hand & Body Emulsion.

For the English Lavender, we are starting with: their Foaming Bath Gel and Body Lotion.

There is a local gent who has been shopping in our store lately who seems to adore the Caswell Massey. He specifically requested their Verbena line so we now offer: Bath Soap, After-Shave and Spray Cologne in this delightfully fresh lemony scent.

Last, but not least, is my husband’s new favorite: Tricorn. The Factory mistakenly shipped us the Tricorn soaps and I gave a box of them to Wade for Christmas. He really likes this fragrance, so I thought we should also offer: After-Shave, Cologne and Bath Soaps.

So, if you are looking for a personal gift for a loved one for Valentines Day, consider our MADE IN THE USA Caswell-Massey bath and body for both men and women alike. Click here for more information.
