Christmas is Coming Early!

Friday 28 October 2016

Normally I would severely object to anyone talking about Christmas before we've even had Bonfire Night, but I'm making an exception this year.

So! Here's the important bit: Between Monday October 31st and Sunday November 6th, I'll be offering 10% off all full-sized perfume oils and solid perfumes (including Raw Brimstone perfumes).

On Monday 7th November, Common Brimstone will be closing for an extended winter break. So you've got just over a week to get your orders in before I shut until 2017!

The less important bit is the reason I'll be closing so early in the year, which is basically so I can write two books and edit three more (hopefully before the end of the year, but probably not...). That isn't really of interest to you guys, but I usually like to stay open as long as I reasonably can in the run-up to Christmas. This year, however, I need to focus on the writing. Closing early and for a longer period than usual will also give me time to make a ton of new perfumes for 2017, so it's not all bad news!

So, the short version of all this is: Sale! From Monday! 10% off full-sized perfume oils and solids! Enjoy!


Save Our Snake Sale!

Wednesday 11 May 2016

I've never done this before and it feels a bit weird, but here we go!

Starting tomorrow, Thursday 11th May, and running until next Wednesday 18th May, I'll be offering 15% off all full-sized perfumes (5ml and 10ml). That's the regular catalogue, the Full Moon Fragrances, and the Raw Brimstone line.

The reason is that our very lovely and very stupid king snake, Remic, has just had an operation to remove a mystery lump from his pancreas and, well, the bill is huge. On top of the regular fees for the investigation, ultrasounds, x-rays, operation, and his boarding fee (he's been at the vet's since Monday, bless him), there's an additional cost to have the lump examined to see what it actually is and what caused it, which would go a long way to determining whether it's likely to be a reoccurring condition.

Simply put, I want to give my pet the best possible care and future, and that means raising a little cash, fast. I hate putting my hands out and asking for money, but I feel like with this sale, we all win - you get a week-long chance to buy discounted perfumes, and my snake gets the care he deserves. I know snakes aren't as appealing as puppies and kittens, but look at him!


He does his best.

So I'm hoping that any of you who were pondering making a purchase this month will do so, or will spread the word over the next few days. Word of mouth is invaluable to my little shop at the best of times, and this week has not been the best of times!

Thank you!

Birthday Giveaway Time!

Wednesday 24 February 2016

It's a bit belated - I had planned to set this all up at the start of February, but between my dead laptop and my hacked bank account, I just never really got organised. But! It's still February, so it's still Common Brimstone's third birthday month, so there's still time to celebrate!



This year I'm giving away a 10ml bottle of the limited edition Unbirthday Cake '16 (coffee cake, amaretto, almond rum, and brown sugar), plus any two 5ml bottles or solids of your choice from the catalogue.


You can enter via Rafflecopter, starting tomorrow, and the closing date is 3rd March. Hopefully you'll all join me in celebrating another amazing year of perfumes, because of course I couldn't do it without you all!
