ReplyDeleteThank you so much for honoring my Mother's Day Story and gifting me with the beautiful $1000 in Tijon perfumes and boutique items. There were so many heartfelt stories and so many wonderful moms. We are fortunate women.
I am looking forward to bringing my sister to Tijon in June and having that sister time creating a perfume that I will call Roselicious in memory of my moms roses.
Happy Mother's Day .....I'll let you know what I select for my daughter that our young Mothers at Tijon for their Mother's Day Gift. my sister is already thinking of what the name of her perfume will be. She lives in a beautiful town In Woodland Park Colorado known as The Ciity Above the Clouds so will select some deep woody and light floral tones for her perfume. We are so excited for the sister day ....we use to build sand castles in la Jolla and this time we will create our signature perfume....one of a kind. Thankyou Tijon for this special memory we are going to experience in June. Cynthia

Cynthia, congratulations! Your story really moved me and made me vow to try to stop and smell the roses. And of course the perfumista in me wants to know what perfume it was that she so carefully dabbed ......
