Hi. I make lots of different things as this is what I like, variety, but am I doing the right thing or should I concentrate on 1 or 2 key products. I can't decide. What do you think.

Good luck with the site, it's a real 'find' and a treasure trove of ideas and I love it!
I am a fragrance engineer so that means I create scents for the home by using essential and fragrance oils. I am based in London, and tend to trade at various events and pop-up shops and also sell online.
