Notable features:
  • The apothecary has a very old aesthetic internally. Historical nerds may be able to pinpoint it having a very late 1400s, early 1500s feel to it.
  • All signage, from labels to notes, is written in English with a Bulgarian translation. All cards have an old, stained look to it, and appear handwritten.
  • Entire shop is made of wood.
  • Smells different every week, often alternating between floral, citrusy, and even perfumed scents.
  • Katherine is at the apothecary daily, unless kidnapped by Deerington.
  • There is a small set of tables for people to sit and drink while they try samples.
  • Vasilka will appear and disappear (like the Cheshire Cat), follow interesting customers around, and generally cause mayhem if she feels like it.


Products:
  • All items are handmade and organic, unless otherwise stated.
  • Hand creams, face creams, and eye creams.
  • Moisturiser for the body, offering different mixtures i.e. thick creams for night, lighter creams for day.
  • Shampoos and conditioners.
  • Soaps, from bars to liquid/cream.
  • Deodorants and perfumes.
  • Oils.
  • Herbal remedies from the 1400s, 1500s, 1600s, 1700s, etc.
  • Herbal teas, drinks.
  • Herbal tobacco.
  • Equipment, such as mortar, pestles, empty jars, scales, etc.
  • Herbs.
  • Wine.
  • A very special line of very special and unique products will be introduced later. (Vervain, wolfsbane.)
  • All items are labelled with handwritten labels. Each item has a humorous name.





A few notes:
  • Katherine's extensive life and travels are evident in the variety of products available.
  • Katherine may or may not create everything by hand out of pure boredom.
  • She is always trying to improve; she's constantly sourcing new things and researching into potential items. This is a hobby of hers.
  • There will be opportunities to learn how to make your own shampoo, soap, etc.
