Fragrance Swap
Months ago when Tracy and I were brainstorming event ideas, we started discussing the possibility of hosting a fragrance swap. Over the past few months we have tested the waters so to speak and the interest seems to be there so at the end of this month we will be hosting our first fragrance swap.
Tracy and I discussed in great detail how exactly this would work and so now in order to make the event enjoyable for everyone and in order to ensure that we can have future events like this, I am going to go through the "terms and conditions" of attendance. If this event is successful, we are more than open to hosting fragrance swaps on a regular basis. Please read through the following boring stuff. I know it is no fun but it will help to make this event something that works. Once you have read through this, go ahead and enter your information below.
EVENT GUIDELINES
First and foremost, this is a functionally independent event hosted by Fumerie Parfumerie. The event will be taking place after business hours and moderated by Tracy Tsefalas and André Gooren. One of our goals is to serve as a meeting place for fragrance enthusiasts and the boutique will be functioning as a meeting space to that end.
Each participant must submit the information requested below including their name, email address and the fragrance or fragrances they plan to bring to the event in order to attend. Due to the nature of the event, if you find out that you will be unable to attend after registering, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can plan accordingly.
On the night of the event, participants will bring their fragrances to the bar at Fumerie. Participants will be checked in by André or Tracy and given a ticket for each item they bring. The ticket will list the name of the participant and the item. Fragrances will be lined up on the bar and Fumerie staff will spray smelling strips with each fragrance. Participants will have the opportunity to smell all of the items available for swap before the event begins.
The event will be structured in the following manner: Fumerie staff will call numbers at random. These numbers will correspond to fragrances available for swap. When a number is called, all interested participants may offer any one fragrance or any combination of their fragrances for swap. The owner of the fragrance will then choose which offer to accept, if any. This will continue until all remaining numbers have been called.
