Special 50% Blowout Last Chance SALE of some of our limited-edition Arcanum Experiments. 

Arcanum Experiments are perfuming experiments and happenstance musing from our workroom. While they didn't make the cut to our catalog (or we didn't have enough ingredients to make a larger batch), we wanted to give you an opportunity for some playful olfactory exploration. None of these formulas are written down, making each Experiment unique and unrepeatable.

All are packaged in amber 5 ml.  As we pre-bottle these in advance, samples are not available. 50% discount will be given at checkout.
