Scentevents recently designed a CUSTOM FRAGRANCE BAR for the Dewar’s Luxury Experience Pre Golden Globes Event at the new SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills CA.
 
The fragrance bar replicated an actual creative perfume laboratory experience. Attendees learned about and smelled fragrances ingredients commonly used by master perfumers such as: Jasmine, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Mandarin, Lavender, Lemongrass, Spearmint, Sage Clary, Tobacco, Vanilla, Vetivert and many other exotic materials. They learned how to describe fragrances using the vocabulary of perfumers: “top notes, heart notes and base or finish notes”.
 
The next step was for the guest to actually formulate their own Custom Signature Scent. Master Perfumer Chris Buccellato of Custom Essence and Neal Harris founder of Harris Fragrances and Scentevents assisted the guests to design their own signature fragrance. Once the fragrance formula was completed, approved and signed off by the formulator (the guest) it was then bottled. The formulator signed each individual bottle and took their custom scent to enjoy. The formulas are in safekeeping at Scentevents.
 
Scentevents can set up custom scent experiences for women, men and children’s products, or design a custom scent experience for the client’s needs and brand. Custom fragrance bars are great for intimate gatherings and unique corporate or client experiences.
 

The bravest of guests made their way through the scares and stenches of the Musty Mansion, a haunted house that looked, sounded and smelled horrrrror-riffffic! Ghastly games and a costume contest were also big attractions but we all know Halloween is never complete without a good ‘ol Ghost Story! Junior Blind and Scentevents were thrilled to welcome The Spirit Cabinet’s Ghost Story, a spooky tale written by Kevin McTurk and narrated by Christopher Lloyd.
 
“It was a great interactive experience for our children that integrated the use of all the senses,” says Michael Martinez, Student Outreach Coordinator at Junior Blind. “The story was told through words, smells and actions, and the kids even had the chance to play a role in the performance.”
 
Freakishly fun and family friendly, Junior Blind’s Halloween Carnival was exciting and fun for all—blind, visually impaired and sighted alike!
 

After a gorgeous wedding ceremony in The London West Hollywood garden followed by a stunning outdoor rooftop dinner for 180, guests were then directed to the “Winter Wonderland” ballroom for dancing, drinking and desserts.
 
When guests walked into the Kensington Ballroom they were greeted with a sensory overload. Beautiful blue, lavender and white lights with snowflake breakup patterns danced across the entire room and on the white, tufted leather furniture.
 
Swarovski crystals sparkled along the Candy Bar and the Chocolate Bar and a Polite in Public Photo booth with a winter backdrop made hilarious photo opportunities for the guests to take home fun favors.

There were also actual snow machines outside the windows creating a snow storm to set the mood.
 
As guests took the entire scene in, they also realized that the ballroom smelled like fresh, wintery peppermint!!! Scentevents helped give the entire design of the “Winter Wonderland” theme that extra special touch that takes an awesome wedding and makes it extraordinary.

Paul Mitchell's early-evening event at a rooftop garden and loft in Rockefeller Center used two distinct areas to launch two product lines to beauty editors. Curly or straight, coarse or fine, long or short, hair can have opposing qualities, so why not a dual-themed party designed to showcase two dramatically different new product lines from a professional hair-care product manufacturer?

Last night about 65 beauty editors gathered at 620 Fifth's loft and garden for the Paul Mitchell Pro Tools and Tea Tree launch event. The doubleheader was designed to introduce the editors (and, it follows, their readers) to the company’s newly revamped Tea Tree line of shampoos and conditioners, as well as its new Pro Tools line of professional appliances.

Overdevest wanted the garden part of the event to reflect the experiential aspect of the Tea Tree products; to that end, piped-in aromatherapy from Scentevents replicated the scent of each product line, and guests were treated to hand massages and pulse-point massages using the line’s soon-to-be-released body moisturizers, as well as scalp massages. “We’re trying to hit all the senses,” Event Energizers’ John Ierardi said.

Sammy Hagar Plays Contractors' Holiday Party
Greg Jenkins and the Team at Bravo Productions incorporate the Scentevents system to enhance the performance of Sammy Hagar

KH&S Contractors chose a potent all-red theme for its holiday party—and brought Sammy Hagar for a two-hour concert. The party was a red-hot ticket, so to speak. Or, at least, the look of the event on December 1 at the Grove in Anaheim for 800 guests featured red in abundance – a nod to both the traditional holiday hue and the company's record-breaking sales year.

The main space featured 10-foot-tall columns covered in red fabric, from metallic shag to sequins. Giant flower displays incorporated red purses, Western boots, heating and plumbing supplies, chains, feathers, and other miscellanea. A 40-foot-long water wall served as a focal point to the stage, where Sammy Hagar performed a two-hour concert of both old and new tracks. Invitations and guest credentials had the look of concert tickets. Four scent machines gave the space the scent of cinnamon candy.

Baby Talk Kiosk

"We opened up our first kiosk called Baby Talk in The Westfield Topanga Mall and incorporated a Scentevents scent player into the kiosk. We sell baby and toddler clothes. We are using bubblegum to scent the area around us. Customers said that the smell of bubblegum lured them to us. We think that the scent system is bringing potential customers over to our kiosk who may not have stopped by. They're in a good mood, and they seem really interested in the clothes and more inclined to buy our products. We were told this is the first time a kiosk has used scent to draw in customers. So far, it's working wonderfully! Next week, chocolate scent!"

JAFRA Cosmetics
Radar Creative worked with Jafra's marketing department in order to create a spa-like experience for 500 women. Sounds easy, right? But when you have less than 45 minutes to change the room from a general session to a full-out spa environment, it allows for challenges to arise. So Radar got in the right mood immediately by playing soft relaxing music and lighting candles on every table during the change-over. They also played a soothing wallpaper loop while women entered the room.

The actual fragrance from the spa product filled the room (thanks to Scentevents®) creating an immediate product experience that worked. Most of the ladies surveyed said this was one of their favorite parts of the 3-day event. Not bad for 45 minutes. For more on this Scentsational event check out www.radarcreative.com

Scentevents assisted with the kick off of “The Special Event” by providing an Orange Blossom and Cinnamon Scent for the Queer Eyes & a Straight Guy - Event makeovers seminar by the creative team at Bravo Productions.

The transformations are accomplished through the skills of the team, consisting of expertise in scenery, lighting, food station decor and floral design and Scentematography design. Speakers: Greg Jenkins, Partner, Bravo Productions; R. Scott Huntley, Event Producer & Lighting Designer, BT West, LLC; Sam van Wert, Senior Floral Designer, Flower Dec; Dan Smith, Event Planner/Producer, Good Gracious Events; and Thom Neighbors, Partner, Bravo Productions.
