Fragrance Swap Nº18
EVENT GUIDELINES
Back quickly by unprecedented demand, we are proud to announce our sixteenth and seventeenth Fragrance Swaps here at Fumerie Parfumerie! Our swaps are among our most popular events and are a great way to get to know other members of our wonderful fragrance community, explore fragrances beyond our regular offerings, and are absolutely always a ton of fun! Tickets go fast, so if you’d like to join, make sure to snag one soon!
Join us on Sunday, April 26th, from 5:00-6:30 pm to meet fellow fragrance lovers for conversation, the opportunity to explore new scents, and maybe even leave with something for yourself!
There will be some changes from our pre-Covid swap format- the most notable being that the bottle offering limit will be set to five, and that we will limit the event to 25 attendees. We are making these changes to show respect to our community in regard to their safety and their time. If,f for some reason, you find that tickets have sold out and you would like to attend, please use our Waiting List page to add yourself! Most Waiting List requests result in attendance, so don’t talk yourself out of using it!
This is a functionally independent event hosted by Fumerie Parfumerie, though we will have protocols in place to ensure order and fairness, which we will explain at the onset of the event. Absolutely no cash sales will be permitted for bottles brought to this event (excluding products for sale at Fumerie)- the bottles brought in by participants in this event are explicitly for swapping only.
After claiming a free ticket, each participant must submit the information requested below in an email to swap@fumerie.com.
Your first and last name
The (up to) five bottles you are bringing and any details you’d like to share about them/ anything that makes them special (i.e. discontinued or pre-reformulation, etc.)
We will also be sending an RSVP request the week of the event, which we kindly ask you to respond to as soon as you are ready to commit to the swap you’re a ticket holder for. As mentioned before, we always have more folks who want to come than tickets available.
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 and offer your spot to someone on the Waiting List. On the night of the event, participants will bring their fragrances to the bar at Fumerie to be set up for the Swap. Please make sure to only bring bottles you can part with, as all swaps are final. Please make sure to bring fragrances in their original bottles and not in decants or separate bottles; decants of any kind will not be accepted for the swap. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out, or you can click here to see the FAQ answers posted to our Events page! Thank you!
If you plan to bring more people (even if they aren’t swapping) you must reserve a ticket for anyone who will be in the shop during the swap.
In the spirit of sharing this info we have updated the information on this page to address a few FAQs about how our Swaps work. We hope to see you there!
• What fragrances/ products qualify for the Swap?
Any perfume in its original bottle* can be brought to the Swap to be traded! Bottles do not need to be full (and can even be very low on juice) or have boxes as long as they are in their original bottle; no decants, samples, travel size/ sample sets, soaps, body oils/ lotions, or other non-perfumes are eligible for our Swaps. Alcohol and oil based perfumes are all we trade here at our Fumerie Fragrance Swaps.
• How much does a ticket to the Swap cost?
Attendance at our Swaps is always free! Tickets are limited, but we offer this service as a conduit for the experience, and as a meeting opportunity for members of the wonderful fragrance community we are so proud to be a part of!
• Do my fragrances need to be niche/ independent? Do I need to have purchased my fragrances at Fumerie?
Of course not- we don’t stick our noses up at any fragrance or taste preferences and neither does our community! The rubrics of our curation and the focus of our shop do not represent a wider opinion of all the wonderful things that can be found in the world, and the sleeper hits that can be found anywhere! Swaps are always more fun when there is a more eclectic variety of fragrances at them!
• If tickets are “sold out” and I still want to join should I join the Waiting List?
Without a doubt. Using the Waiting List results in a high chance of attendance, and not using it results in none!
