Real Perfumery, Not a Craft Project
Guests aren't mixing pre-made scent combinations off a worksheet. They're working through the actual building blocks of fragrance, top notes, base notes, naturals like jasmine, cedarwood, and citrus alongside some of the unusual materials that hooked the founder in the first place. In the guided workshop format, she walks the group through how a formula is actually built before anyone touches an ingredient. At a scent bar setup, guests drop in throughout the event, sample the organ of materials, and build with her guidance whenever they're ready. Nobody is handed a formula. Everyone works out their own.
Why It Works as a Group Activity
Perfume-making turns social fast. Guests start smelling each other's blends within minutes, asking what's in them, comparing reactions, arguing over whose is better. There's a specific moment, usually somewhere in the middle of the session, where someone smells what they just made and realizes they actually built it themselves. That moment is what makes this format land for bachelorettes, birthdays, and corporate groups looking for something that isn't another paint-and-sip.
Built to Scale With Your Group
The Custom Fragrance Bar is designed for bigger gatherings, up to 50 guests, with full setup and breakdown handled by the team so hosts can focus on their guests instead of logistics. Branded labels and an expanded material selection are available for events that want more polish. The Sip & Scent Party is built for smaller, more intimate groups of up to 10, hosted at home or, for parties under 8, at the studio in Altadena. It's BYOB-friendly for guests 21 and up, runs about two hours, and ends with everyone holding a 15 ml bottle of eau de parfum built entirely from their own notes.
What Guests Actually Take Home
The bottle isn't a party favor. It's a formula the founder keeps on file, so guests can reorder the exact scent they built whenever they want. Because smell is so tightly wired to memory, wearing that fragrance again tends to pull people right back to the room, the people, and the night they made it, long after the party itself is over.
