Exciting news!
I've been working behind the scenes all month to craft a new collection of one-of-a-kind solid perfumes in vintage containers, which will go live tomorrow, July 27th at 8:00 AM Central.
I'm posting the product details here on the blog tonight so you can make a game plan and decide which one(s) you'd like!
I also made quite a lot of freebie samples, which I'm not going to sell because by the time you get it to try it out, the perfume you want could be gone. BUT - good news: you'll be able to request any of the scents that have sold out through the Build Your Own Scent listing.
Scroll down for all of the details, then set your alarm for tomorrow morning!
I'm so pleased with how these turned out. I had so much fun making them, and I truly hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

I crafted this new collection of limited edition solid perfumes using unique combinations of my single note fragrances with different botanical waxes to create eight new and totally distinctive one-of-a-kind scents.
They're meant to be layered and worn with your other favorite Twinkle perfumes, but they also stand on their own when worn alone. I hope you'll enjoy adding them to your fragrance wardrobe, and that you'll treasure these quirky and cute vintage keepsakes for years to come!

The packaging
These perfumes are packaged in vintage or antique containers, which I've sourced from local thrift stores, vintage resellers, and antique shops over the course of this past year. They are mostly porcelain, with the exception of 1 - alabaster, 3 - metal tin, and 8 - plastic/resin.
They are all quite delicate, and the lids are not meant to fit tightly. These are not appropriate for travel, but instead are meant for display on a vanity, nightstand, or desk.
Note that the perfumes are priced according to the amount of fragrance they contain, not for the quality of the container. They should last for at least 2 years, if not more. I have included any descriptive markings of note in the photographs. Feel free to ask questions, but keep in mind that these one-of-a-kind products might disappear before I'm able to answer.
Good luck!
