The Great Purge

Hello sweethearts,

First, note that the e-tail and retail lists on the site have been updated. So very many places to find a wee fix!

Second, I know discontinuations are not your favorite thing, but it's time to clear some shelves in anticipation of spring. The dates for discontinuations reflect, as always, the time when these goods will no longer be available to our retailers. The retailers may sell out of their stock sooner or later than the dates given.

I was going to send the winter blends on their merry way in mid-January, but since I've been remiss in announcing that, let's give them a slight reprieve, shall we? As of January 31st, the following will retire to rest in their little snow caves until next Yule:

Arctic Bear
Hogmanay
La Befana
Solstice Sugar
The Ulda
Winternights

The following layering notes will also be retired (probably forever) on January 31st:

Eggnog
Citrus Creme

Also on January 31st (but you knew that, didn't you?), the following limited editions will finally come to the end of the line:

Espionage
Revival

Finally: If you used to buy Spitfire soap and found it not quite strong enough, you are in luck. The scent just got stronger and the color got redder. I know! As if it wasn't exciting enough!

xoxox,
Julia

These new stores will be added soon to the retail list on Arcana Soaps. Yes, the aforementioned list will finally be edited, added to, cleaned up, and generally buffed, since it has been sadly out of date for far too long. I don't want you zooming over to one of the stores listed, excited to do some serious sniffing, only to find the very shop itself was razed to the ground 6 months earlier and there's not a damn thing to sniff except scorched earth. You so don't need that.

xoxo,
Julia

Edited to add the address of the new Greg's on North Lombard, as promised. Also, you might like to come over and join us at a charming spot for which I can't take any credit, as it came to two wonderful UK customers in a dream (similar to Coleridge with Kubla Khan): click here to go to a stately pleasure dome of Arcana reviews and swappage.
