Hey there,

Hope everyone is well and able to endure the terrible weather nature has been dealing everyone, everywhere during the past month or so! But, you know what, every time I feel like whining about the weather or anything, I look at this cat and don't feel like complaining anymore. Isn't he awesome?

Here are some store updates and some new arrivals:

You asked and we listened!

**We now have lower shipping charges for orders that contain *only* decanted samples
   (meaning orders that only have 1mlvial samples in them).

U.S. = $4.00
Canada = $5.95
International = $9.99

**We are now offering larger decants for a few selected fragrances.

We chose these cobalt blue bottles so that the fragrance would be better shielded from light and for their stability. They do not fall over easily.

As you can see, there are spray atomizers as well as screw top bottles. We know most people like to spray fragrances, but the screw top bottles (with removable orifice reducers) offer a more conservative and controlled release, which is sometimes preferred for pure perfumes in small quantities.

In related news, starting this Sunday (February 7th) we will begin offering Decanting Supplies-- and yes, we will ship them internationally. You can buy your fragrance and decanting supplies all in one place. Yay!

We now offer Gift Certificates! There are still a few details to work out, but as of next week you can
buy Rei Rien gift certificates that can be sent via email (a jpg to paste or attach) or snail mail in a nice
envelope. Give to a friend or have a loved one gift one to you-- so easy!


And now, on to the good stuff! NEW ARRIVALS!

• We have Tocade- IN EXTRAIT! I've seen several people in the blogosphere wish for this to be true, and now it is. If you ignore the silly bottle, this is a truly wonderful fragrance. (To me the bottle looks like a character from Toy Story) Tocade is usually only available in EDT (eau de toilette), and in fact this is so rare that some of the bottles we have are a limited numbered edition. There were only 500made.

• Jean Patou's Chaldee, Invitation (back in stock) and Divine Folie- all in EXTRAIT!
• We have couple of Nina Ricci's Coeur Joie back in stock!
• The discontinued and hard to find, Theirry Mugler A*Men Pure Coffee.
• A few (final) bottles of Gucci's L'Arte (in edp!).
• Guerlain's Mitsouko Extrait (1oz) at an amazing special price!
• Claude Montana's Parfum de Peau in EXTRAIT.
• Vintage Gucci pour Homme (1976).
• Barbara Bui's Le Parfum is back in stock.
• And last, but not least,a rare, little gem by Capucci: Filly in extrait.

Asa token of appreciation to our wonderful, charming and supportive customers, we have a free gift for everyone who places an order this weekend:

All orders placed between Friday (Feb. 5th) and Sunday (Feb. 7th) will receive a FREE Sample Pack containing: Prada L'Eau Ambree, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Lolita Lempicka Si Lolita and Rochas Tocade (edt). While Supplies Last.

Make sure to take care and love yourselves for Valentines Day!

cheers~~
