Sniffapalooza Spring Fling 2012!

Saturday, May 5 - Sunday, May 6 in NYC!

Dear Fragrance Friends,

 

In just THREE short weeks, fragrance lovers from around the globe will be gathering in NYC for the most spectacular scent event of the season, Sniffapalooza Spring Fling! We have friends travelling from Germany, France, UK, Canada, and all across the U.S. to celebrate the sensory arts with us. But demand for tickets has been amazingly overwhelming, and only a few precious spaces remain... so we urge you to let us know right away if you would like to join your fellow fragrance enthusiasts for our biggest & most extraordinary Sniffapalooza yet!

 

This time we've got some brand-new, one-time-only surprises arranged exclusively for Sniffapalooza and you'll only be able to experience them at this event. We invite you to meet Chandler Burr, Curator of the Department of Olfactory Art at the Museum of Art and Design, as he gives us a preview of the The Art of Scent, the premiere exhibit opening in November 2012! Have a chat with author Alyssa Harad, and get a sneak peek at her new book, Coming to my Senses: A Story of Perfume, Pleasure, and an Unlikely Bride! Learn how Veronika Bartosch of Naked Scent is changing the consumer experience! Get the behind-the-scenes scoop of the FiFi Awards with Mary Ellen Lapsansky, Terry Molnar, and Lyn Leigh of The Fragrance Foundation! Discover the global style hub everyone's talking about, Refinery29, with Senior Beauty Editor Megan McIntyre!

 

And did we mention the filled-to-bursting gift bags and lunch loot??? You won't believe all the goodies!
