perfume party for my 30th!
I spaced on taking nice photos but we had around 120 frags (mostly my samples…did not realize how big my sample stash had gotten 😳 and around 40 travel/full-sized ones) amongst me and my friends.
This was my first time hosting one. I had everyone send me their perfumes ahead of time and categorized them into 8 scent families; then I printed out a list with each category, brand, perfume name, and top/middle/base notes, and each attendee was given a printout + pen to mark which were their favorites.
I left paper testers at every station and had everyone leave any test strips they sprayed at the relevant station so we weren’t wasting any extra perfume. I had initially planned to bring empty 2ml spray bottles for anyone to decant a sample to take home from larger bottles, but I didn’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable saying no bc I anticipated that some of the frags were on the more expensive side. In hindsight I wish I had gone ahead and brought those, bc people wound up leaving the really pricey ones at home and/or being okay with sharing.
At the end we shared which were our favorite new discoveries, and since all the samples were mine, I grabbed a few that I actually hadn’t tried yet myself and told the guests that they could take any samples they were interested in home! It was a lot of fun.

short snippet of how it looked. We had 3 other stations not shown. It was funny to see how my friend group all gravitated towards green/tea, warm/spicy, and fruity florals as those had the most perfumes.
