All About Limiteds

Several people have written to ask how limited editions work-- why they're limited, whether or not they'll come back, etc.

The answer is that they are all different. Some scents/soaps are made on a limited basis because I have a relatively small amount of an ingredient and want to do something interesting with it. Others are limited because I want to try something out, maybe even for half a year, but for various reasons (such as being difficult to make or containing especially costly ingredients) it's not something I necessarily want to make forever and ever. Still others are limited because they are seasonal and will generally hang around for the length of the season to which they relate. Obviously the latter are the most likely to make comebacks, though there are no guarantees. I do admit to getting a bit of nostalgia now and then for ye olde scent blends...

Speaking of limiteds, Guy Fawkes, Haint, Holy Terror and Little Ghoulie will no longer be available to our retailers after November 30th. The retailers will probably continue to have stock past that point, although one never knows. It all depends on how much they ordered and how fast they sell out of the remainder of their stock.

The holiday blends will start to be available at the end of November. They will stay available to the retailers until mid-January, but again, it's a case of how fast they sell through their stock, whether or not they reorder, whether or not the postal carrier gets hijacked by soap-craving highwayman and avid, deranged perfumistas, and many other variables.
