FAQ
Who are your experiences for?
My experiences are for people of all genders, whether they already have an interest in fragrance or not. It doesn’t matter if you have a trained nose or even if you have worn perfume before. Discovering scented artworks together and sharing an experience through smell is fun for anyone with an appreciation for beauty and creativity!
Do you make your own perfume?
No, I focus on curating and educating, not creating. While I am acquainted with many of the ingredients that are used in contemporary perfumery, I don’t work with them myself.
Will we mix our own perfumes?
No. Perfume making workshops can be fun, but their results are rarely as balanced and complex as a fragrance designed by a professional perfumer over the course of many months or years. The perfume market is bigger than ever before, with thousands of releases each year. So your perfect match is probably already out there, and I will help you find it!
Do you sell perfumes?
No, and I am completely independent from any brands or stores. My events are aimed at introducing you to beautiful works of art and share a transportive experience with you, whether that leads to a purchase or not.
So where can I buy the perfumes I discover?
You will receive a shopping guide and advice about where to purchase a bottle or a sample of any perfumes that call your name. Everything I recommend is available to buy in Europe, either in person or online.
What’s the difference between seminars, workshops, and consultations?
The main difference is how targeted and interactive the content is. At a 20 person seminar, all participants smell the same, pre-selected perfumes (but the line-up will be diverse enough for most people to find a new favourite). At a 6 person workshop, I’m able to show each participant personalised suggestions and take more time to answer questions. The consultations are even more tailor-made, consisting only of selections and recommendations for you specifically.
How do your experiences differ from shopping in store?
3 things: time, objectivity, and selection. First of all, at my events you can experience perfumes more mindfully and with more attention to detail than is typically possible in store, because we have much more time together. Secondly, I don’t sell perfume myself and don’t benefit from your purchases elsewhere, so I have no financial interest in pushing you to buy the newest or most expensive releases. In fact, if you don’t want to purchase a perfume at all and are just looking for a novel sensory experience, my events are equally suited for you. Thirdly, my selection of perfumes is carefully curated to represent the best that niche perfumery has to offer across a wide assortment of genres and styles. I only recommend perfumes I have thoroughly tested myself and consider meaningful works of art.
Can you recommend scents similar to a specific perfume?
Absolutely! Get in touch before your experience with the perfume you have in mind and I will try to suggest alternatives.
What language are your experiences in?
You can choose between English, German, and Dutch. Just let me know your preference when booking!
What’s required to host an experience?
A table to seat all participants, and for larger groups, a projector or screen. The rest is up to you: you can serve any refreshments your guests would like (as long as they’re not too strongly scented), you can play music, take pictures, or just opt to let the perfumes take centre stage.
How should I prepare as a participant?
Avoid wearing scented products on the day. That’s it!
How long do experiences last?
• Seminars: 90 minutes.
• Workshops: 2–3 hours, depending on the number of participants.
• Consultations: 2 hours.
How many perfumes can I smell?
I will have at least 150 perfumes with me, but to avoid olfactory fatigue we won’t smell them all. Each participant will typically smell between 15 and 25 perfumes, with plenty of time to evaluate them in detail.
Where will my experience take place?
Typically, at your own location: your home, office, or party venue. In the Antwerp region, I may be able to provide my own location. Contact me to discuss options.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Typically, at least two weeks, but it depends on the level of customisation.
How is the price calculated?
By number of participants, also taking into account my own travel time. If you are booking an event for a larger group, I can offer a lower price per participant. But even for a small group, your price won’t differ by more than 30% from the minimum price displayed.
How does the payment work?
After we agree on the details of your experience (number of participants, price, location, amount of customisation, any special requests,…) you will receive a written confirmation of the price from my billing agency, Smart. After your event, you pay by bank transfer directly to Smart.
