A Perfume Party on the North Shore
From a Kenilworth living room to a Lake Forest garden, we bring a hosted perfume bar to North Shore homes and venues. Guests blend their own scent with a trained perfumer, and every bottle goes home with them.
Made for lakefront living rooms
The North Shore runs along the Lake Michigan bluffs from Evanston through Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe and Highland Park up to Lake Forest. Many North Shore parties happen at home, around a kitchen island or a dining table that seats twelve.
That is exactly where a perfume party shines. We arrive about an hour early, set up a styled bar, and guide each guest from first sniff to finished bottle. It works for a 40th or 50th birthday, a book club that wants something new, and the milestone celebrations that fill North Shore calendars, including bat and bar mitzvahs.
Our kids and teen bars use their own kid-friendly materials, so younger guests get a version made for them. For adults, the bar uses absolutes, CO2 extracts and essential oils, the same materials fine-fragrance houses build with.
