I love your scent combination, especially since you put so much thought into them. Thanks for sharing. :)

You always learn so much from little ventures like this. I actually never understood why girls always lose their shit over scented candles, but I promise to buy one if I’m ever in Goa :)

(ideally region … morjim / siolim / … candolim etc – or mapusaI

It would cost quite a lot to ship so I’m waiting on that. Yes, feni is not moonshine we just say that as in the U.S. moonshine is homemade alcohol and most local bars make it themselves.

I wonder how much it cost to ship it US. get to know some fine Goan guys to help you out. but then you will have to go to church and get to know the priest (lol), you know although some of us liked the hippies back then in 60s/70s, but they didn’t leave a good impression on the Goan society as a whole because of drugs and nudism and Goa is not India
and Rachel, Feni is not a moonshine drink, it is actually made from cashew fruits.
take care , i hope the Russians don’t bother you

Cool! I will be in Karnataka, but they should be in Thalassa by then, which is the best restaurant in Goa! And you can get them at Natti’s Naturals and in Panjim at White Brick Wall. Have fun in Goa!

Exactly! Keeping the scents simple and not as Indian as most of what I’d find here. I love lemongrass too! wonder what I can mix that with… hmm

Thanks Alex! I have two more shops to drop them off to tomorrow and see how they sell. Also, the post is scratch and sniff ;)
