Created by a mom who loves scent and meaningful parties
Glitters and Grace was created by Cheryl Gleason, a mom, trained perfumer, and cosmetic and skincare formulator who loves scent, beauty, and thoughtful experiences. She trained with master perfumer Karen Gilbert, at the Institute for Art and Olfaction, and through courses and workshops around the world. These parties were born from her passion for creativity, education, and joyful celebration, and they continue to inspire families across the Aurora Area.
What about activities for boys
Boys love to build their own colognes and they are always welcome. We bring boy-friendly scent options and black atomizers so they can create blends that feel cool, personal, and age-appropriate.
As a mom of two boys, Cheryl continues to expand co-ed and boy-inclusive party options for families across the Aurora Area.
