It was a gloriously sunny day in Nolita, as Sniffapalooza friends gathered at the Atelier Cologne boutique for an exclusive Master Class hosted by brand co-founder Christophe Cervasel. The Prosecco was flowing, delicious nibbles were served, and fragrant conversation abounded. Master Perfumer Ralf Schwieger, creator of three of the fragrances, was a special guest and the group was rapt as he spoke about his influences and experiences in creating the fragrances, including the just-launched Ambre Nue.

Attendees were treated to unlimited sampling, special gifts, and leather bottle covers were hand-engraved by store manager, Ross Barry. Also present to welcome the enthusiasts were Atelier Cologne President, Gerard Camme, and sales associate, Julia.

There are plans to produce another Atelier Cologne Master Class with Sniffapalooza in early summer, to premiere two new fragrances.
