Sonoma Scent Studio Updates

Temporary Break

written by Laurie June 29, 2015

I have taken the cart down today for a temporary break. I was going to wait until late July to take a two-week break while my assistant is out of town (last week of July and first week of August), but I’ve strained a muscle or ligament or something in my right side (rib area) and need to give it a rest. If it feels better soon I will put the cart back up as soon as I can.

If you need something for a gift or you are an international customer and want to time a package while you or a friend is visiting the USA, please email me and I will take care of your orders. It won’t be hard to take care of a few orders; I just need to limit them for a few weeks.

Thanks for your understanding (and I apologize for the lack of notice — this was unexpected)!

Thanks, Melissa! I’m hoping it comes around quickly. Maybe I can finish the gardenia in the meantime. 🙂

I hope you’ll feel better soon.
July isn’t the best time to be sending perfumes anyway 😉

Thanks, Undina! That’s sure true today — it was a scorcher, 104 degrees on my porch late this afternoon!

Hi Laurie, hope you’re feeling better soon. I need some Voile de Violette because I decided I can’t live without it, but it can wait. The Amber Incense was tremendous and will be my fall purchase. It may wear close to the skin, but lasted a full 12 hours, 8 hours of which were sleeping, and I toss and turn a lot.

Thanks, Farah! I’m glad Amber Incense lasted well for you and you liked it! 🙂

Sending healing vibes your way! I have frequent back/rib pain issues myself and it can be a real bummer. Rest, heat, massage, Advil, and time.
Thanks for being so transparent and personal! That’s part of the appeal of your brand for me. The other part is that your fragrances are gorgeous 🙂

Thanks, Elisa! Good advice. 🙂 I’m feeling better (as long as I don’t sneeze or laugh!), but it’ll take a little more time to be back to normal. Glad you’ve enjoyed the fragrances and the blog!
