Sniffapalooza
Last week in NYC, Sniffapalooza’s Salon Series kicked off with very special pairings of fragrance, art, design, and sweet treats! Michigan State Senator Jack Faxon graciously opened his Soho loft to us, sharing tales of his travels and the artifacts he collected along the way. Sniffapalooza’s Karen Dubin matched the artwork to fragrances from her vast collection. And Sherry of Sherry’s Short Cakes offered her interpretation in flavors. An enlightening time was had by all!
Sniffapalooza celebrates fragrance as an art, and we strive to create experiential events where we can explore the olfactive universe with kindred spirits who share our passion. And we particularly love to combine fragrance with other sensorial pursuits to heighten our awareness and appreciation! It is with great pleasure that we announce our premiere Sniffapalooza Salon: Fragrance, Art & Design, to be held on Friday, March 14, 2014 from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
We are invited into the amazing, design-filled Soho loft of the Honorable Jack Faxon – Senator, teacher, historian, explorer, and artist. He takes us on a journey through his travels, illustrated by the art, antiques and artifacts he has collected along the way that represent various periods, cultures and styles. And to add a fragrant twist, we’ve paired Jack’s magnificent collection with perfumes that interpret them by mood, provenance, ingredients or craftsmanship!
Last weekend, over 80 fragrance enthusiasts gathered in NYC for a thought-provoking session on personality and smell perception. Rutgers Research Professor, Dr. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist and scientific advisor at Match.com & Chemistry.com, guided us through the exploration of personality types and how they relate to the people we’re attracted to.
