Blend Your Own Scent Above the Lake in Streeterville
A perfume making party in Streeterville comes with a view most hosts never get. Between Lake Michigan, Navy Pier and the Magnificent Mile, the setting does half the work. We bring the rest: a full perfume bar, a Lip Lab and a skincare bar.
Our team rides up the service elevator, sets up and hosts. Then, when the toasts end, we carry everything back out.
Why a Perfume Making Party Suits Streeterville
Streeterville is a vertical neighborhood, so space is shaped by elevators. Many residents live in towers with party rooms, rooftop lounges and guest suites. Those rooms are lovely, but they can feel empty without a plan.
A perfume bar fills that gap. Guests gather around the table, smell, compare and blend their own eau de parfum, which is a concentrated, long-wearing perfume. Meanwhile, the skyline does the decorating.
Visitors book us, too. Bachelorette groups staying near the Magnificent Mile want one activity that isn't a bar crawl. So a perfume party in the hotel suite becomes the calm, pretty start to the weekend.
Perfume Making Party Ideas Streeterville Hosts Love
These ideas lean into lake views and city energy. Of course, each one can be scaled up or down.
Lakefront Bachelorette Kickoff
Start the bachelorette weekend in the suite with perfume and lip color. Then walk to dinner wearing your new scent.
Fresh Air and Florals Brunch
For a birthday brunch, choose the fresh and floral bases. Open the curtains to the lake and let the light in.
Fireworks Night In
Navy Pier is known for summer fireworks. So plan a party room evening with glitter, gourmand scents and a view.

Two studios
Our Studios and Your Streeterville Party
Our Mokena studio opens in January 2027 at 19060 Everett Blvd, Suite 107. It offers walk-ins and appointments to make your own perfume or lip color, plus a private party room for up to 40. Guests can also BYOB and bring food to the kitchen.
Of course, Mokena is a long way from the lakefront. That's why a second studio is planned for Chicago, opening in late 2028. Until then, every Streeterville perfume making party happens in your space, because we come to you.
