Perfume bar experience

A custom perfume bar experience for your event

Glitters & Grace creates fully interactive perfume bars where every guest designs their own signature scent. From intimate gatherings to events with thousands of attendees, we curate fragrance, flow, and styling so the experience feels seamless, elevated, and unforgettable.

We bring everything to you — fragrance materials, glassware, bottles, signage, and staffing — and customize the design to match your venue, palette, and guest journey.

Glitters & Grace Perfume Bar
How the experience works

From first note to finished perfume in three steps

Every Glitters & Grace perfume bar follows a simple, guided three‑step process designed to keep guests flowing smoothly while still feeling intentional, indulgent, and personal.

1

Select a base

Guests begin by choosing a fragrance base — such as floral, woody, fresh, gourmand, or soft musk — calibrated to your event aesthetic and guest profile. Bases help anchor the blend and make the process approachable, even for guests who have never created a fragrance before.

2

Explore & select perfume materials

Guided by our team, guests explore curated perfume materials — from bright top notes and romantic florals to textured woods and cozy base notes. Depending on your chosen bar style, they’ll have access to a carefully designed palette ranging from 50 to about 140 fragrance components.

3

Blend, label & receive QR code

We blend each guest’s final fragrance, help them name and label their bottle, and provide a QR code so their custom formula can be referenced again. Guests leave with a personalized signature scent and a keepsake that feels truly one‑of‑a‑kind.

Perfume bar styles

Three perfume bar styles, three distinct experiences

Each perfume bar style is designed for different guest flows, timing, and aesthetics. Whether you’re planning a vintage‑inspired celebration, a couture‑level gala, or a romantic wedding, we’ll recommend the right bar style and customize every detail to your event.

Artisan Perfume Bar

Artisan Perfume Bar

A vintage‑inspired perfume bar styled on a 6–8 foot table with approximately 140 fragrance materials. Vintage décor, apothecary details, and hand‑lettered chalkboard signage make this bar feel warm, collected, and deeply experiential.

Ideal for events where guests enjoy lingering, exploring, and talking through their scent choices — such as creative corporate gatherings, showers, and intimate celebrations.

Luxury Perfume Bar

Luxury Perfume Bar

A couture‑level experience styled on a 7‑foot counter with decorative glass perfume dispensers and approximately 80 premium fragrance options. Elevated, architectural styling keeps the bar feeling polished and photo‑ready from every angle.

Perfect for black‑tie weddings, galas, brand activations, and large guest counts where you need both visual impact and efficient flow.

Wedding Perfume Bar

Wedding Perfume Bar

A romantic cart‑style perfume bar featuring 50 curated fragrance materials optimized for blending. The design is soft, elegant, and tailored to wedding‑day décor.

Ideal for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions where guests flow through the experience in shorter windows while still enjoying a meaningful, personal keepsake.

Perfect for

Designed for weddings, kids events & corporate experiences

Every perfume bar is built to scale with your event — from intimate at‑home gatherings to large hotel ballrooms and brand activations serving thousands of guests. We adjust staffing, layout, and bar style to support your timeline and guest journey.

The Glitters & Grace difference

Operational excellence with couture‑level creativity

Behind every Glitters & Grace perfume bar is a process built for both beauty and reliability. We think through guest counts, timing, access, load‑in, and staffing just as carefully as we design florals, signage, and fragrance palettes.

The result: an experience that feels effortless onsite — for planners, venues, and guests — while still delivering the kind of detail and delight people talk about long after the event.
