Private Events

A guided custom-fragrance experience for your group, in one of our studios or at your own venue. Every guest blends, names, and bottles a scent that's entirely their own.

How private events work

Our advisors guide every guest through choosing a base, layering accords, and bottling a finished 50ml fragrance. We bring the materials, the glassware, and the setup. You bring the people.


01

Tell us about your event

Group size, date, and whether you'd like to host in a studio or have us come to you. We'll come back with package options and a quote, and a $250 deposit confirms your date.

02

We set the scene

A private area, the full scent bar, and your advisors are ready before you arrive, along with wine and cheese.

03

Everyone leaves with a scent

Over two hours, every guest blends, names, and bottles their own 50ml fragrance, labeled and ready to take home that day.

Offsite Events

You name the place, we'll come to you with our mobile scent bar.
