Sniffapalooza and Methods & Madness

Fragrance Dinner with Atelier Cologne

Sunday, February 17, 2013 in NYC!

Dear Fragrance Friends,
In Sniffapalooza's never-ending quest to bring you the most fantastic sensory experiences, we've been dreaming of an event that combines extraordinary aromas, tastes, textures, creativity, insight and stimulating conversation joined together in perfect harmony. And now we've collaborated with incredible partners to bring our fantasy to reality!

It is with extreme pleasure that we invite you to Sniffapalooza and Methods & Madness' Multi-Sensory Fragrance Dinner celebrating Atelier Cologne on Sunday, 2/17 at 6pm at Jo's Restaurant in Nolita in New York City! We will be joined by special guests - perfumer Ralf Schwieger and Methods & Madness founder, Chef Tessa Liebman.

We all know Atelier Cologne as a stellar artisanal fragrance brand and purveyor of amazing scented products for body, bath and lifestyle. Atelier Cologne is the first perfume house dedicated entirely to the traditional Eau de Cologne form of fragrance, expanding on the characteristic freshness with new innovations and unusual combinations of ingredients, and giving birth to a new classification of fragrance, the Cologne Absolue. And, over the duration of our six-course dinner, we will step inside their fragrant world for a comprehensive look at the brand concept and creative vision of this beloved cult-favorite!

Methods & Madness is an intimate dinner series where Chef Tessa Liebman focuses on the work of an artist/perfumer/maker and creates a menu influenced by their body of work. Chef Tessa has spoken extensively with perfumer Ralf Schwieger about his process (the "methods") and the inspiration (the "madness") behind the fragrances he has created for Atelier Cologne: Orange Sanguine, Vanille Insensee, Ambre Nue, and there will be a special feature of the newest jewel in Atelier Cologne's crown, Sous le Toit de Paris, which is currently in premiere launch.

Our journey begins with a glass of sparkling Prosecco as we gather together in the warm embrace of Jo's private back dining room. As we dine, each course will explore a different Atelier Cologne scent.  Ralf Schwieger will offer insight into his inspiration of creation, and Chef Tessa will speak about preparing the menu to reflect Ralf's work. Barista Ezra Baker will provide olfactory and palate cleansers in the form of specialty coffee cuppings throughout the meal. Guests may bring their own bottles of wine, if they desire.

After the meal and the presentations, the party moves across the street to the Atelier Cologne boutique for bespoke cocktails created especially for this evening! There will be ample time to sniff and sample all the Atelier Cologne fragrances, and to chat with Ralf and Chef Tessa.

As a special token of appreciation, each guest will receive deluxe samples of all the fragrances explored at the dinner, and a personalized leather bracelet stamped with their name in silver. A special GWP is a 30ml fragrance of choice with the purchase of a 200ml fragrance. Complimentary monogramming is available to customize your bottles, and samples of any of the Atelier Cologne range are yours for the asking!

Due to the private and interactive nature of this incredible event, spaces are extremely limited. The registration fee for Sniffapalooza and Methods & Madness' Fragrance Dinner with Atelier Cologne is $130, and includes six curated courses, coffee cupping palate cleansers, presentations with Ralf Schwieger and Chef Tessa Liebman, glass of Prosecco, bespoke cocktails, tax and gratuity, and gifts.
