Event Recap: Sniffapalooza Curates #DiscoverScent at Cosmoprof NA in Las Vegas!

We had an amazing time at Cosmoprof NA in Las Vegas last week and can’t believe how quickly it all flew by! We met lots of wonderful people from all around the world – our booth was right smack in the middle of Beauty Avenue and hard to miss! – and whether they were involved in nailcare, haircare, skincare, or cosmetics, so many were interested in niche fragrance!

We kicked things off with a very special Fragrance & Chocolate Pairing, which matched our curated niche brands with 2 Chicks With Chocolate‘s delicious bonbons!

Then 28 of us hopped on the bus, box lunches in hand, to tour three of the most unique beauty boutiques in Las Vegas. Marc Birenbaum, Executive Editor of Beauty Store Business Magazine, led the way!
