Sniffapalooza Speaks: HBA Global Expo 2013 in NYC!

IMG_0233 HBA Global Expo & Conference landed at the Javits Center in NYC last week, ushering in summer with a dazzling array of innovative products & packaging in the beauty, skincare, and fragrance markets. There were many new ideas to explore and engaging seminars to attend in brand development, natural & sustainable, trend watching, and innovation. Jamie Thomas of trend visionary Stylesight presented the Fall/Winter 2014 forecast for beauty & fashion, with emphasis on handcrafts from the BRIC nations, and themes of Quietude, Allegory, and Enrapture. Kelly Kovak of the Color Association of the US, tempted us with farmstand color trends – blue potato, endive, kale and corn. Sniffapalooza’s own Karen Dubin participated on the What’s Next for Fragrance? panel, along with Doreen Bucher of Symrise Fine Fragrance, Blair Bloom of Just Bloom, Abby Fazio of New London Luxe, and moderator Sue Phillips of Scenterprises. Niche fragrance trends influencing the mass market, sampling scents in the digital age, fragrance layering with ancillary products, and the proliferation of portable roller ball packaging were some of the many topics covered by the group. An inspired time was had by all!

Presenting The Essence of Fragrance –  a Perfume and Wine Aroma Sensory Workshop. Join us for this exploration of the aromatic experience of wine and perfume, led by Master Perfumer Sarah Horowitz and Sommelier and Journalist Mary Orlin. 

During our workshop Chief Perfumer Sarah Horowitz-Thran will educate participants on the history of fragrance and how our sense of smell works before delving into the principals of building a scent.

Sommelier and fragrance and wine writer for The Huffington Post Mary Orlin will speak to the similarities in the language of wine and perfumery.  Our guest vintner is Sonja Magdevski of Casa Dumetz Wines, and we will pair Casa Dumetz wines with perfume oil notes curated by Sarah Horowitz.

In this master class we take participants on a journey into the intersection of the arts of perfume and wine and how and why they are similar and complimentary to each other.  We’ll explore pulling out common fragrant notes in each.  

Come for an afternoon of fragrance, wine and nibbles.  Space is extremely limited so sign up now!

Art of Perfume Classes: Punk Perfume!

From our friends at the House of Cherry Bomb, Maria and Alexis:

PUNK CLASS

ART OF PERFUME: GOD SAVE THE QUEEN-A RIOT OF PUNK PERFUME

Saturday June 8th 2:00-5:00pm

Join House of Cherry Bomb perfumers as we create and deconstruct scent
while listening to the anarchistic cries of punk musicians in God Save the
Queen-A Riot of Punk Perfume class. Notes such as clove cigarette, gasoline
and jellybean, challenge our perception of olfactory beauty; just as wailing
guitars and wailing voices challenged pop music culture through microphones
buzzing with noise, and mosh pit -jumping crowds clad in the deconstructed
threads of Vivienne Westwood and the like. We will explore the work of punk
musicians, designers and artists as we challenge conventional fragrance to
the sounds of the Sex Pistols, The Dammed, Buzzcocks and NY Dolls.

Class fee-$75. Material fee: $25.
