A Stroka Gene-Us Alpacas is located in Stringer, Mississippi at 383 County Road 155. Alpacas are a member of the camelid family that originated in South America and they look a lot like llamas.

I bought about 6 car scents in the scent Laurel as souvenirs to bring back home and give to friends. I also purchased wax melts!

I wasn't planning on buying anything and spent over $100. My one gripe is that the two women behind the counter didn't really seem to care if we were there and they never came out from behind the counter. The level of service they provided just really clashed with the vibe of the store. The product is 5 stars. The store is 5 stars. The staff is 3 stars. So I'll give it 4 stars.
