Hi Dawn,

Their about me page is funny! I was laughing while reading it.

I had never heard of them before ( and I thought I'd heard of everthing!!).

I think their prices are kind of high for such cheap packaging, all of the money

must go into the natural oils.

best regards,

Pixie

Hmmmmm,

Well, my opinion is that most of their perfumes are reasonably priced

at $75 to $95 per 1/2 ounce. That is up to 90 drops of perfumers

materials to make that 1/2 ounce. Some oils like neroli and the roses

and others can be $1 to $2 *per drop*! Others can be $4 per drop or

more! And yet, still others can be 20 cents per drop or less. And

then, they are more than likely purchasing in bulk at wholesale and

their costs are far different than mine.

Now, are they worth it? Well, I don't know. I would definitely have

to try them out or know their formulations. Do they have a strong

long-lasting perfume? Does it smell good?..... Do they indeed use a

25% to 30% dilution? Do they use mostly inexpensive notes? All in

all, with using organic grape alcohol and figuring in their markup...

it sounds about right.

Now some of those other ones just sound ridiculous in price... Wild

Thing? Yep, that it is --looks like they went wild all right. $525

for a 1/2oz of perfume??!! I'd have to be crazy.... and demand to be

shot...

OK, that's my 2 cents worth!
