SEPHORA Fragrance Flight Bar: Experience Scent Like Never Before

Hello all you fragrance lovers, I have some great news. You may remember my post last October about Sephora and Firmenich’s Sensorium: A Sensory World, refresh your memory here – Sephora and Firmenich Present Sensorium – A Sensory World. Well, the beauty and fragrance powerhouses are bringing another sensational fragrance experience.  Sephora invites you to a unique event experience, a one-of-a-kind fragrance lesson to transform how you think about fragrance at the fragrance flight bar. These capsule events are based on Sephora’s pioneering Sensorium™ fragrance experience in New York City, produced in partnership with global fragrance powerhouse Firmenich, which allowed consumers and fragrance lovers to sample scents categorized by “impressions” instead of traditional fragrance notes.

Similar to a wine tasting, you take your place at a table in front of scents classified by one of four impressions: Addictive, Playful, Casual or Chic (as seen above). Each scent is unlabeled and presented in stemless wine glasses, allowing you to experience how each fragrance makes you feel, without branding or preconceived notions.

You can try any or all the scent impression stations at your leisure.

Once the Fragrance Flight Bar journey is complete, a Sephora fragrance expert is on hand to reveal your preferences and can provide you with additional information about the scents, help you select products, or provide samples for you to further assess the scents after wearing them on your skin. A scented guidebook is also provided as a takeaway to continue the fragrance education, based on the four impressions.

Sephora’s Fragrance Flight Bars will be available for three weekends only:
