Love Letters...

"That was such an amazing experience and so fun to see how the scents my friend and I created both reflected aspects of our personality.  I was also really grateful that I was granted the time and assistance to get my scent blend to where it was just right..it was a truly transformative moment when notes just sang! I almost thought I'd been given a totally different blend. The resulting scent had a powerful effect too, that was embued with nostalgic feelings of both sorrow and peace. I called it Silent Night, and it still brings me to a special place when I wear it." - Fran 

"I adore walking into the space at Wellington Apothecary. It is like a magical little sanctuary in the heart of our beautiful city where I feel instantly calm and nourished." - Annie
