A Corporate Perfume Bar for Lake County's Corporate Corridor
A corporate perfume bar gives life sciences and technology companies in Lake County a celebration with real substance. Guests work with a host to blend a fragrance from authentic perfumery materials, then take home a bottle labeled with your company's name.
Lake County's corporate corridor runs along I-94 and US-41 through Lake Forest, Lincolnshire, Vernon Hills, and North Chicago, about 30 miles north of the Loop.

Why a corporate perfume bar works in Lake County
AbbVie's executive offices are in North Chicago, while Abbott is headquartered in Abbott Park. Meanwhile, Grainger and Packaging Corporation of America are based in Lake Forest, Zebra Technologies in Lincolnshire, and CDW in Vernon Hills. Together they make this one of the Midwest's densest clusters of large headquarters.
Science-minded teams especially appreciate knowing what is in the bottle. That's why our hosts explain each material, and our founder, a trained perfumer and formulator, composes every blend from absolutes, CO₂ extracts, and essential oils. Our most requested Lake County events are recognition dinners, leadership retreats in Lake Forest, and holiday parties at the Lincolnshire resort.

Corporate perfume bar pricing in Lake County
Corporate perfume bars start at $500 and are quoted per event, rather than per guest. As a result, your quote reflects guest count, bar style, staffing, hours, and any custom labels.
We arrive with the bar, linens, displays, and signage, and our team arrives one hour before your first guest. Then we host every guest and, afterward, pack out cleanly.
Travel within our core service radius is included, and anything beyond it is itemized in your proposal. We also send an itemized proposal within two business days. After that, a 50% deposit holds your date.
