What better way to ease (slowly) into the festive season than by announcing we’re going on the road for winter?
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the two shows we’ve attended, it’s that talking to customers, showcasing our products, and seeing their reactions to our Stove Fans and Essential Fragrances is truly heartwarming. It reinforces our passion and commitment to attending as many shows as we possibly can.
What’s most exciting about our winter outings?
This will be our first time venturing into Festive Markets and shows, and we can’t wait to bring our fragrances to life in these vibrant, magical settings.
Below are the four confirmed dates we’ll be attending—and one kicks off this month!
