Scent sommelier Kelly Jones led a “scentstorming” walk that inspired guests to think about how fragrances evoke different emotions and memories and how scents can be integrated into events and client experiences. She paired their discoveries with perfumes inspired by each element such as moss, stone, and fern. Guests were then able to make their own fragrance; Gifts for the Good Life collaborated with the perfumer to create the custom packaging.
