In preparation for the holiday season many fragrance companies are introducing the convenient online shopping websites. Tocca has recently launched shop.tocca.com, where you can purchase all of their products. The first 100 visitors to spend $50 on Tocca shop will get a free Stella candelina, a blood orange scented mini candle. Tocca has recently launched three Eau de Parfums: Florence (bergamot, violet petals, blue iris and blonde wood), Stella (blood orange, spicy lily, white freesia, orchids, sheer musk and sandalwood), and Touch (gardenia, Tahitian tiare flower, pomegranate and Egyptian balsam).
I am Victoria Belim-Frolova, a Ukrainian-American author, ISIPCA professor and perfumer. My work weaves together stories of scent, memory, and resilience.
Through books, fragrance, and teaching, I explore how beauty can heal and restore us.
