I made my own custom perfume in NYC ✨💋🗽

Olfactory NYC

One of the highlights from my NYC trip last December was creating my own custom perfume at Olfactory NYC 🤍✨ It was such a fun and memorable experience! I ended up naming my fragrance “Fiancée24” because I got engaged during the trip 🥹💍 It felt like the perfect way to bottle up the moment forever. I also ended up creating a custom diffuser scent as well and it still smells sooo good in our living room 🥰. (p.s. I am aware it says fiance and not fiancee lol but I didn’t realize they spelled it wrong until it was too late)

... Read moreCreating a custom perfume is a delightful way to express your personality and memories. Olfactory NYC offers a unique experience where visitors can select their favorite notes and create a personalized fragrance that truly resonates with their essence. This process not only allows you to have a scent that is identifiable and distinctive but also serves as a perfect memento of special moments, like engagements, weddings, or significant life events. When choosing notes, consider starting with a base, mid, and top notes to achieve a well-balanced fragrance. Base notes such as sandalwood, vanilla, or musk ensure longevity and depth, while mid notes like jasmine or rose add character and complexity. Top notes, like citrus or mint, provide a fresh first impression that fades into the deeper scents as you wear the fragrance. The story behind your perfume, like mine 'Fiancée24', adds sentimental value, making it more than just a scent; it becomes a cherished memory. Plus, custom diffusers can enhance your personal space, allowing the aromatic experience to linger in your living area. Many people find joy in gifting personalized scents to loved ones, making it a thoughtful gesture that’s rare in the world of mass-produced fragrances. Olfactory NYC is not just about making perfumes but also about experiencing the joy and creativity that comes with scent creation. They guide you through the selection process, educating you about different fragrance families, ensuring that you’re not just creating a scent but an experience. If you're looking for a unique activity on your trip to NYC, creating a custom perfume not only provides you with a signature fragrance but also delivers a memorable interaction with the art of perfumery. Whether you’re celebrating an engagement or simply indulging in a creative process, Olfactory NYC is worth a visit!
