  • Welcome back to New York, Tanja. A few days ago, I read a post on April Aromatics FB site. It was a short announcement of New York “where it all started.” I felt your happiness, love and excitement full of positive vibes. The Ocean between Europe and America is smaller than the love and healing power built into your marvelous perfumes.
    I follow Twisted Lily from Croatia. It is nice to see many of small, artisan, natural houses at Twisted Lily. It is excellent for the extension of this segment in perfumery, my favorite. I love all April Aromatics perfumes I have tried. Maybe Erdenstern astonished me the most.

  • Welcome back to New York, Tanja – I wish you every success there. My favourite April Aromatics perfume is Unter den Linden, which holds very happy memories for me.
    Twisted Lily is new to me – I’ve never been to New York – but it’s lovely to see support for natural perfumery.

    I live in the EU. Thanks for the draw!

  • Welcome, welcome, welcome back Tanja. New York is the place to be. I have never tried a singe April Aromatics but have really been wanting to. I’m a 100% sure I would love Calling All Angels. I am a true diehard fan of Twisted Lily and recommend it to all I come in contact with. Every time I buy from them, they have been more than excellent to help with any questions I may have, etc. Thank you for a super draw. In the USA.

  • Welcome back to NY, Tanja. And congrats for selling at Twisted Lily, a really fabulous store. I’ve not been there in person, but all my NY friends and relatives go there (’cause I told them to!) – the shop turned my brother into a true believer – and I do my perfume shopping from their online store. The customer service is fabulous!! I haven’t tried all your fragrances, only one, and I loved it – Rosenlust. In the US! Cheers!

  • Welcome back to New York dear Tanja and a big thanks to Twisted Lily for promoting really talented and gifted creators and their aromatic creations like April Aromatics House creations are.
    My favorite from this House is Rosenlust and it is the only one that I had the chance to experience since I was given the opportunity to when I won it in one of Cafleurebon’s contests.
    I am a registered reader living in EU and I thank you for this generous draw. Once again all the best to Tanja Bochning !!!

    I’m in Europe.

  • Eric and Stamatic are right Tanja, like Mandy Eftel, has indeed set a high bar for natural perfumery. I remember from previous articles that Tanja lived in New York for a while before moving back to Germany. My favorite Tanja’s creation is Calling All Angels. I am in the US

  • Yeah! Finally we’ll get April Aromatics to NYC,
    Tanja’s nose for finding the note to elevate someone into higher consciousness is a blessing.
    I love the chakra oil set and I can not live without my precious woods perfume, much love and light, Gerald
