A Perfume Bar in Shorewood, From Our Lab Just Down the Road
A perfume bar in Shorewood brings a little perfume studio to your party. Guests choose a base, add the notes they love, and leave with a bottle they made themselves.
Shorewood is a Will County neighbor of our New Lenox lab, where every fragrance is made by hand. That makes it one of the easiest trips we take, and there is never a travel fee.
- Perfumer-led
- Made in nearby New Lenox
- Ages 5 and up
- From $500
Shorewood parties and the perfume bar
Shorewood celebrations lean toward home and family. Backyard birthday parties in June. Graduation open houses with a tent on the lawn. Bridal showers in a restaurant private room. A sleepover birthday in the basement when the weather turns cold.
A perfume bar fits each of those. It needs a table and some elbow room, and our hosts take care of the rest. If you are planning outdoors, ask about pairing it with our Bath & Body Bar, which runs without power.
Set the bar in shade, out of direct sun and wind. Perfume smells truest when it is not baking on a hot table.
Perfume bar options for Shorewood hosts
Every format is hosted, styled and packed out by our team.
Mini Perfume Bar
A blending bar with 60+ fragrance materials on one table. A natural fit for showers, birthdays and girls' nights.
Full Perfume Bar
120+ fragrances, including a family of signature scents for guests who want a head start. Blending bars move about 50 guests per hour.
Signature Perfume Bar
Not a blending bar. Guests pick from up to 12 in-house signature scents, about 85 to 100 guests per hour. Great for a big open house.
Kids and teen parties
Ages 5 and up, with age-appropriate formulas and background-checked female hosts trained to work with children. Kids birthday ideas in Shorewood
Bath & Body Bar
Guests build a custom bath soak from salts, botanicals and fragrance, plus a hand-made bath bomb. Quick, cheerful and happy outside. See the bath bar
Summer weekends book up
Most Saturdays need six to eight weeks, and May, September and December need longer. If your date is sooner, reach out anyway. We have a large team of hosts and can often fit you in on short notice.
