    First one! Yes!!!!
    Awesome scents. I do believe I would enjoy the VERA the best. There's just something about lavender mixes....

    Ooh I'm number 1! www.rubyclover.etsy.com I can't believe I saw this, I was JUST talking to a friend on FB about how darling these little pink perfume pots are when I saw them on Etsy! But I would have to say my fave item would have to be a sample pack since I don't know what my fave perfume would be from this shop. It all looks divine though! http://www.etsy.com/listing/63541297/organic-botanical-perfume-sampler-eco

    Wow! I LOVE the pictures used. I think the scent that gets my nose itching to smell it is "Greenwitch." My husband calls me his Elf, so maybe it would fit me. :)

    I am not sure what to pick! I thought it would be easy, but I started going through your shop and then my curiosity lead me to your comments, and your perfumes sound incredible! I love the Romantic Natural Perfume Locket, I feel like I would get a lot of use out of it!
