The initiative launches tomorrow, Saturday 9th May, at Bloomingdale’s Roosevelt Field store, NY.The Perfume Studio Master Class will begin at 11.00am and consists of a one hour seminar with Sue, a well-known face in the fragrance world whose expertise comes from her experience of launching the Tiffany perfume for their 150th anniversary and similar work with Avon, Burberrys, Lancôme and Davidoff. Scenterprises describes the experience thus “much like a wine tasting, you are invited to take a magical and mysterious ‘olfactive fragrance journey’. You will experience 18 different, exquisite perfume blends. The blends have been created by a world-renowned perfumer and are designed to be worn in combination or alone. You will explore the exotic world of perfumery by trying various categories of blends and selecting the three or four that you desire as your own unique ‘bespoke formula’.”Howard Kreitzman, Bloomingdale’s VP of Cosmetics and Fragrances, said “we continue to strive to offer unique, innovative products that encourage people to enjoy shopping in our stores. The Custom Perfume events are creative, informative, interactive, and customers leave feeling good about their experience.”The cost of the masterclass is $25 and this is redeemable against any purchase over $85. The custom scent that is designed and named by you during the masterclass can be purchased afterwards in a 20ml designer purse spray.Scenterprises will be running a series of events across the US:
