Book a Private Appointment
Monday and Tuesday are ours alone. The boutique is closed to walk-ins those two days and kept for private appointments — one guest, or one small group, with a fragrance specialist and no one else in the room.
What happens in a session
- We ask before we spray. What you wear now, what you've loved, what you can't stand, where you're going.
- You smell in a planned order — usually 6 to 10 scents, on blotters first, then on skin. No more than that; the nose stops being honest after a while.
- You leave with samples of the two or three that worked, so you can live with them for a few days before spending anything.
- Nothing is pushed. If nothing is right that day, we'll tell you, and we'll write down what to try next time.

Sessions we run
- Find your signature — about 60 minutes. For anyone starting from scratch or changing direction.
- Gift consultation — about 30 minutes. Bring what they already wear, or a photo of the bottle, and we'll narrow it down.
- Collection building — about 60 minutes. For people who already own several and want the gaps filled: a summer scent, an evening scent, an office scent.
- Bring a friend — up to four people. Good for birthdays and for couples buying together.
Practical
- When: Monday and Tuesday, 11:00 am – 7:00 pm. Wednesday to Sunday you can simply walk in during opening hours.
- Where: 92 West Main Street, Somerville, New Jersey.
- Cost: free, and there is no obligation to buy.
- Please come without perfume on — bare skin makes the session far more useful.
