Changes are Afoot!

My dears,

You hear about it, you know it happens to others, but you just never think it's going to happen to you.

Yes, I'm talking about price increases.

Due to rising costs in both materials and operating, the price of Arcana's soaps, 5 ml perfume blends and 10 ml perfume blends are going up. (Layering notes will stay the same.) I can't say exactly how much prices will go up in retail terms, as all the retailers set their own prices.

For over 3 years the price of soap has stayed the same while ingredient costs have gone up and up. So it really is time.

xoxoxo,
Julia

Hiya Sugarcubesea!

Yes, some new things are in the works! You can probably expect to see them this spring or summer.

Thanks for asking!

I just wanted to say that I love your soap and perfume oils! I discovered Arcana this summer, and have already managed to build up quite a supply of bottles and bars for myself, thanks to your wonderful e-tailers. You've gotten me hooked on soap again, after years of sticking to gels.
Can't wait to see what the new scents are!

Hi Julia!
Thanks for the heads up about the price increase. Your oils are so completely worth the price. Looking forward to the Spring/Summer offerings!
Take care,

i have a challenge for your fevered imagination. i love your soaps and perfume oils! the problem is, i live in texas and starting oh NOW it's just to hot to wear perfume oils. i am so used to wearing perfume oils that regular perfumes smell to chemically to me. is there a way to transfer the wonderfulness that is your perfume oils to a body spray? this time of year, i prefer to wear body spray because oils are just to strong in the heat and humidity that is a texas spring summer and most of fall. thanks for your time and creativity,
sara(sirensong47@sbcglobal.net)
ps- am anxiously awaiting your new spring/summer creations!

So I am at a dinner party on Saturday night and mention to a woman that I am starting to retail to the local vampire and goth scene in Savannah. She mentions this absolutely WONDERFUL soap she got called Vampire's Garden, and that maybe I would be interested in vending from that company. This morning, she brings it to me in church (having a local UU church is great!) and all I can say is WOW!!! I definitely am interested in bringing on your line! I left a message at your contact number and hope to hear from you soon! You rock!
