Fund the Perfumery!


Updated May 2016

In mid-March of 2014 I found a great location for my perfumery. Auspiciously things aligned themselves and the glorious space manifested into a work / showroom / teaching space. A few things are still needed now to complete it. Below you will find some incentives to be one of the founders of the Roxana Illuminated Perfumery, first ever, studio/showroom! If you are new here, read more about me at this link on the website where there are a few more links to delve further.


I am in need of:
1. Counters for the perfume workshop  √
2. A display case for the showroom has been purchased, but I'm still paying it off.
3. Chairs, stools and/or bench for the teaching space
4. Stools for the display case



1. Glass Display Case
The display case has been purchased and is stunning, I need assistance paying it off.

2. Apothecary Inspired Counters
A local carpenter built the three counters for me, we painted them and with the help of Eve and Greg added some little curtains, they are terrific! DONE! √

3. Chairs, benches and stools
The chairs and stools are yet to be found. World Market has some chairs that are good options, so far I have one. I'm also hunting flea markets and estate sales. Ideally I'd like to have seating for eight more people.
