Shipping Options

I wanted to clear up some shipping options here.

As of late you may be noticing that if your order is 6 jars or less I am shipping your order in a small priority mail boxed tucked inside a flat rate envelope for $5.05 (domestic) and $23.50 for International. I have started doing this in the past month (always for international) at the request of many of you.

I never ship the larger items in just the envelopes themselves and risk any damage. If your order qualifies for first class, I will ship that way (usually samples and lip balms ship in the 5x7 envelopes) or larger orders/items (depending on the size of the order), I ship as medium flat rate at $11.30 or Regional A boxes which is between $6-$10.00, depending on destination. Sometimes same state or neighboring states I can ship up to 3lbs for under $8 priority mail. 

I do this to help you save on shipping, insurance is always included up to $50. If for any reason, you do not want them shipped in the box and flat rate envelope, please let me know. I will ship the best way for you.

As always, I charge exact shipping and always refund excess shipping of $1.50 or more.

Thank you!

Quick Update and Medical Leave Notice

I'm a little slow getting online as of late but still working as quickly as I can to process all orders.

As I mentioned before. I have been having neck and shoulder problems and have been advised to limit my activities, but that's nearly impossible sadly. I have been going to physical therapy and acupuncture, alternately, to help alleviate my pain as I am not one to take meds. I will be having surgery next month because of the issues I am having. I plan to only take one week off from processing any orders but the website and etsy shop will remain open, so TAT will be upped to 1-2 weeks during that time. I'm really really hoping one week will be good but I have been hearing 2 weeks from others who have had a similar surgery such as mine. In the meantime, as well as processing all the orders to get them out as quickly as I can, I am also restocking inventory so that my daughter and husband can help out packing orders after my surgery, just in case recovery takes me a bit longer.

So please bare with me as I have not been able to get online as much as I want to to convo/email everyone back right away, or update tracking for all orders. Sitting here and typing for any longer than a few minutes creates a lot of pain for me unfortunately. I will work on getting online tonight to answer emails and convos and update tracking numbers.

As far as when I will not be processing orders, here is the schedule:

All orders will be processed and shipped by Friday June 13th. I will not be processing orders beginning June 14th until my return by June 27th. During that time the shop and website will remain open and orders will be reflecting a 7-14 business day turn around time, which does not includes weekends or holidays. 

At the moment, TAT is at 7-9 business days and should be back to 2-3 days by Monday May 12th.


Thank you for your patience!

New Perfumes!

So! I will be getting the remainder of the new scents up tomorrow. Such luck, but as of late my neck and shoulder have been bothering me so much that I just have to lay down. Finally saw a dr and now I am getting physical therapy for a strain in my neck. Go figure! But I am beginning to feel some relief after one visit. I am not one to take pain meds, so I have been dealing with the pain for 6 weeks now hoping it would go away.

I did manage to get a few things up already.

As far as TAT, we are at 3-5 business days still and I am getting those all done by Monday. Woohoo!

I have a new perfume debuting this week as well. Another honey scent, but a nice, sweet honey without the floral undertones. I've been working on this one for quite sometime. Name and description to be announced!


Many new perfumes are debuting at Debaucherous Alchemy this weekend, I'm so excited!

I want to thank everyone for their continued patience!

Have a fabulous week!

Current TAT

Just a quick note to say that all orders are completed and shipped! Turn around time is back to the usual 3-5 business days.

Thank you all so much for your patience!

Now I am off to start adding the new scent finally!

I hope you all have had a restful weekend and are prepared for yet another Monday! Have a fabulous one!

Perfume Petite Sample Clarifications

I just wanted to clarify a couple issues in regards to the free perfume petite sample that is included with every order as there seems to be some confusion.

With every order, no matter how small, I always include (1) FREE perfume petite sample. You may choose the scent by stating so in the coments section, but the free sample does not apply to the following scents:

DEBAUCHEROUS AMBER
HEDONISTIC
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
BIG BAD WOLF
CHOCOLADE
GOLDEN FRANKINCENSE
BEGUILING VIOLETTE
THE QUEEN BEE

This is due to the costs involved in making these particular perfumes. 

If you do not choose a scent, I will choose for you. 

Also, I am now offering a Fragrance of the Month perfume petite sample. This sample is included in all orders of $25 or more, in addition to the (1) perfume petite sample included with every order.

Also, there seemed to be quite a bit of confusion as to which scents could be chosen for the sample sets. Each listing had previously stated the above scents were not included in the sample sets and could be purchased separately, but many were still choosing these as part of the sets. So I went ahead and changed these listings to reflect the correct pricing for each sample. Now there is a drop down menu (via my etsy shop, my website will be updated shortly) that has the scents with the price next to them. I also updated the quantity so now you can order as many as you choose instead of 3, 5 or 7. Now, it'll be much easier to place an order for the perfume petite samples. Prices remain the same on all perfume petite samples.

From time to time I will still offer new scents as part of special sets, such as the Pin Up collection.

I hope this clears up any confusion there may have been previously.
