Even better than a wine tasting party, in my opinion! Here are some thoughts: - Grab the book "Perfumes - The Guide", by Luca Turin off of Amazon.com. This quick read and perfume reference guide will give you the history of perfume, plus a rating and review for all of the popular fragrances on the market today. It could be used to get some games going (guess the perfume by reading the description?) - For group activities, divide everyone up into group names like FRESH, FLORAL, FRUITY, CHYPRE and WOODSY. Divide up the groups, and have each work together to create their own new scents by layering the scents that they bring to the party. You can cut strips of heavy-stock paper to use as your testers. - Check out LuckyScent.com for samples of the latest, niche and cult fragrances. And visit www.SaludSpaBar.com for more ideas! - we are a modern, online perfumery that creates custom fragrances, and we can help if needed with scent samples, door prizes and more. Happy blending!

These are lots of fun and super easy to make. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/entertaining/danny-seos-scented-paper-flowers-065028 People could also bring in any small samples that they have and do a sample swap. Small sample vials are often found on Ebay in lots and would make great favors. You could also make perfume sample flowers to use as decorations. These are lots of fun and super easy to make.

You can use epsom salts from the pharmacy and get scented oils from a craft store. I think a cute idea for an invitation would be to make a potpourri sachet and tie the particulars onto the sachet with ribbon. A party game idea would be to get small jars that you cannot see through and fill them with different spices (don't label them, just use numbers on the lids) and have your guests guess the spices by scent alone and have a prize for the one who gets the most scents correct. If you need more ideas, just let me know and I'll put my thinking cap back on! One idea that comes to mind is making fragranced bath salts together.
