The 7 Virtues Fragrance Company founder Barb Stegemann is returning home to her native Antigonish to set up a one day store at Aphrodite
This Sunday November 10 from 12 – 4 pm.
Barb will be giving away signed copies of her wonderful book The Seven Virtues of a Philosopher Queen with every fragrance purchase. All four fragrances are made with natural ingredients delicately dispersed in an ambrosia of gorgeous scents that lightly descend on your body like a veil. Even if you shy away from fragrance you will be delighted by these scents: Vetiver of Haiti, Middle East Peace, Afghanistan Orange Blossom and Noble Rose of Afghanistan
Here’s Barb with former US President Bill Clinton on a recent visit to Haiti where she sources the world’s best vetiver. Barb toured Haiti with President Clinton visiting farms and meeting with her suppliers.
See the video below for an update on her amazing journey to empower families in countries that are rebuilding. Her made in Canada fragrance collection is created with essential oils from nations including Haiti, Afghanistan and the Middle East.
Barb will be joined by other special guests this Sunday. They are celebrated jewellers Clare Bridge and Dorothee Rosen who are setting up full displays of their stunning collections. And artisan Lisa Nishi is coming from Cape Breton to show us her exquisite silk organza creations.
Bring us a printed copy of this page and receive 10% discount on your jewellery purchases on Sunday.
Afterwards head over the Townhouse Brewpub & Eatery 76 College St. to have an early dinner. It’s located just behind and over from Aphrodite. The owners are preparing a special Aphrodite Goddess dessert for this Sunday. We will be handing out 2 for one coupons at the store.
