Episode 1: Tanya's Story

2 minutes read

Hi, I'm Rebecca, and I work on the customer care team here at Aromafume. Every day, I get to hear stories from the people who bring our scents into their lives and every once in a while, a call stays with me long after I've hung up. This is the first in a series where we want to share some of those calls with you, just as they happened.

Our first story is about Tanya, 24, an international student living abroad, far from home.

Tanya called in with a few questions about our range curious about what else we had beyond the She Who Blooms perfume she'd already ordered. But as the conversation went on, it turned into something much more personal. She told me the scent reminded her of Diwali season back home that specific smell that fills the house: gajras, fresh jasmine, tuberose. All the warmth and celebration wrapped into one memory.

She said it felt like a home away from home.

Because the perfume is travel-sized, she carries it with her everywhere, and she's gotten compliments on it more than once. She's already planning to order more before Diwali this year, so she can keep that little piece of home close.

What stayed with us the most was how she put it, home away from home. At Aromafume, we've always thought of our customers as family, so hearing that our perfume could carry someone's memories across the world with them meant everything. It's a reminder of why we make what we make, one small, natural, alcohol-free bottle at a time.

To Tanya, and to everyone who's found a little piece of home in our scents: thank you for sharing your story with us.
