Sniffapalooza

Two of our favorite parts of Fall Ball Weekend are our scrumptious luncheons at Opia and Barolo. Meeting new friends from all over the world who love what you love is a phenomenal experience! Our Saturday Lunch Loot gift bags will be filled to the brim, as usual, and we have special treats at our Sunday luncheon, too. Our Speaker Line-Up each day is incredible, and we’ll be revealing two new creative projects that you can be involved in!

Here’s a sneak peek at our wonderful presenters:

• Christophe Jouany – Jouany Perfumes
• MJ Rose – Author, The Book of Lost Fragrances
• Francois Duquesne and Jonina & Bradley Skaggs – The Fragrance Club
• John Caplan – Founder and CEO, OpenSky
• Sabine Poncet – S. Poncet Eau Eternelle
• Sue Phillips – Scenterprises
• Remy Bhatia – Make A Wish Foundation
• Carlos Huber – Arquiste
• Miriam Driot – Technique Indiscrete
• Gordon Schaye – Bellegance Interactive Perfume Project
• Debra Butler, Firmenich, and Allison Slater, Sephora – Sephora Sensorium

At the Nars Boutique, we’ll enter the beautiful galaxy of Francois Nars, legendary makeup artist and creative visionary. Because sometimes you have to stop and smell the makeup! Here, at Nars’ only free-standing shop on the planet, we can see his personal gallery of artifacts, mementos, books, and artwork that have influenced his work and style and continue to inspire him daily in his life.

Be among the first to premiere Nars’ new Kabuki Holiday Collection, an exquisite range of handmade cosmetic brushes and tools that are truly a marriage of functionality and extraordinary craftsmanship, and an accompanying collection of color cosmetics in brilliant hues that are at once universally flattering and easy to wear. See Nars’ full selection of candles  –  it is only here that we can find ‘Space Odyssey’, Nars glowing silver nail lacquer that has become a sought-after cult-favorite!

Sip something bubbly as Pierette brings in a special staff of makeup artists to demonstrate short-cuts to the perfect red lip, dramatic smoky eye, and effortlessly luminous complexion. Play to your heart’s content, and take away samples, tips, and treats… it doesn’t get any more beautiful than this!

Sephora and Firmenich have joined forces to create a multi-sensory pop-up experience located in the Meatpacking District, just a short walk from Bleecker St! We’ll take a journey of six encounters designed to explore the brain’s purely instinctual & uninhibited reaction to scent… leading us through the magical world of creation, extraction and art. The final stage will be at the fragrance flight bar with our emotions guiding our way. This is a limited-engagement production, and Sniffapalooza has a special invitation!
