Our Second Fragrance Swap
As you all know, we hosted our first fragrance swap back in May and it was an overwhelming success. The event also served as an opportunity for us to figure out what worked and what did not and we have all of you to thank for that. This time around we have a much better idea of how the event will be structured and what to expect.
Tracy and I sat down the other day and mapped out the remainder of 2016 and we decided that, given some of the other events we are planning and with the holiday season right around the corner, September would be the best time to host the final fragrance swap of the year.
Please read on for more details regarding the event. We have made a few changes based on your feedback and we think it will help the event to run more smoothly. The signup form is right below the event guidelines.
EVENT GUIDELINES
First and foremost, this is a functionally independent event hosted by Fumerie Parfumerie. The event will be taking place at Fumerie Parfumerie's boutique on SE Division Street 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 venue for this event to that end.
Participants must sign up below in order to attend. This time each participant will have a designated space either on the counter or on one of our display tables. Each space will be clearly marked and delineated. Spaces on the counter measure 12" wide × 18" deep and can accommodate up to about twenty fragrances. We will also have a table set up with larger spaces measuring 20" wide × 25" deep for participants who wish to bring more fragrances. There are currently seventeen spaces available. When signing up, along with your name and email address, please indicate if you will require one of the larger spaces. Please note that there are only three of these larger spaces available and spaces will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If you can provide a list of the items you plan to bring or even an estimate as to the number of items we should expect from you, it would be helpful. 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.
After we receive your registration we will assign you a space. On the night of the event, participants will bring their fragrances to Fumerie and set their fragrances out in the space bearing their last name. After everyone is set up, participants will be able to explore all of the fragrances. We will then reconvene and begin swapping.
