Scent Bar: A Custom Fragrance Experience

About this Experience

What you'll do:

It's an interactive perfume station where guests create their own signature fragrance to take home. Each participant chooses a custom glass bottle and velvet or canvas bag, finished with a bespoke label designed to match your event’s branding or vibe.

Styled with dried florals, luxe table coverings, and custom signage, the bar becomes both an experience and a beautiful focal point. Guided by our “Perfume Bartender,” guests explore essential oils, carrier oils, and botanicals to blend a fragrance that feels personal and memorable. Designed for easy flow, the setup accommodates around 10 guests every 30 minutes.
