Charna Ethier cracked frame of an article about her in More magazine
When disasters happen we can feel overcome by helplessness and devastation Somehow an Act of G-d is easier to accept than the recklessness of mankind. In our fragrance community, a terrible event has taken place.
Burned ceiling after the fire
On August 3 in Providence Rhode Island, a careless strung out over the hill ex musician (I hope he reads this) flung his lit cigar out the window and Perfumer Charna Ethier of Providence Perfume Co beautiful store on 31 Wickeden Street (opened April of 2013) was severely damaged destroying almost everything but her perfume. That is a miracle.

The long road to reconstruction begins. Charna won our CaFleureBon’s hardest working perfumer award last year as she balances retail, perfumery, and a family. Now this. She has more hard work ahead. We need your help. This is not a kickstarter, Charna is not looking for a handout, just support of her perfumery that so many of our readers enjoy. If there is a draw on CaFleureBon she’s in.
It will take longer to rebuild than August
