An Update and Upcoming Event from our Fabulous Friends at Sniffapalooza

Peachy Deegan loves Sniffapalooza so much she has been in it for years, and even was in it in her previous life as a banker....an update from the lovely Karens:



Dear Fragrance Friends:

We've had a truly amazing Summer. The Sniffapalooza World Tour took us to London, and now we're back and throwing ourselves into planning another edition of the ultra-fabulous Sniffapalooza Fall Ball! This is our biggest and most jam-packed event ever, so sit back and enjoy reading about all the aromatic possibilities... we've added lots of new experiences!

We're dubbing this event 
Celebration of the Perfumer, because we've got so many perfumers and fragrance designers joining us. We'll be welcoming Francis Kurkdjian, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, Josie Natori, Ulrich Lang, Pedro de Leana, Neil Morris, Juliet Stewart, Montgomery Taylor, Gerald DuBose, Patricia Namm, Sarah Barton King, and Yosh Han, just to name a few! And we'll be visiting several new stores, like the elegant Krigler Perfumery at The Plaza, the sensational Anna Sui Boutique, and Pure Dark, the incredible new chocolate emporium.

For those of you who are just joining the Sniffapalooza family, the Sniffapalooza Fall Ball is an entire weekend crammed full of olfactory and multi-sensory experiences. You'll come away from the weekend with new knowledge, new friends, lots of new goodies, and a new perspective on a fragrant life. There's nothing else like it on the planet.

This year's event will be held on Saturday, October 17 - Sunday, October 18. As always, Saturday will be our
uptown day, and Sunday will be our downtown day.
