We were left regretting our willingness to let our guide cajole us into this visit, a lot of hard sell & a lot of very strong heady oils that left us with headaches, it alos took a lot of washing to rid ourselves of the overpowering smell, would never go to anything like this again

First the artist gives you a brief history about the plant being used for your perfume. I chose a perfume made from pyrus plant that supposedly Cleopatra's perfume of choice for seducing men. lol I dont know about all that, but the perfumes are amazing.
