Sunday walking tour

This map of Sunday’s walking tour shows you just a fraction of the weekend’s travels.

Sunday alone offered such great company for us to join. We were wonderfully received at the La Mela luncheon in Little Italy for our presentation of UME Eau de Parfum, our latest fragrance and grateful for all of the feedback.

Thanks to Talfoto.com we were able offer beautiful floral note cards with our UME sample sets to Sunday’s guests.

Organized by the intrepid Sniffapalooza team of Karen Dubin (pictured) & Karen Adams, MC David Ecker also presented lots of great affordable fragrance ideas from Banana Republic and Christian Siriano.

Spotting the familiar and oh-so-friendly faces of Cafleurebon correspondent, Hernando Patrick Courtright, Elizabeth Rose of Ave Parfum, & Karen Adams of Sniffapalooza at La Mela. Honored to have AVE PARFUM help us launch UME online as well.

Writer, Jane Bernard of Curious Happening gave an introduction to the core principles of her philosophy of Sensual Thinking and Perfumer, Irina Adams of Phoenix Botanicals presented her new Lotus Pollinator fragrance.

Everyone enjoyed the five courses of eating, drinking, and making fragrant merry! The Sniffapalooza community is so devoted, there were many familiar faces and conversations that were picked right up from the last event.
