Styling Ideas for Setting Up a Perfume Bar<\/strong><\/p>\n

You could opt for a minimalist setup<\/strong> (1, 4, 5) with a simple table covered with a solid black, blush, or white cloth \u2013 and the perfume vials and supplies arranged on a tray with a sign or cards to guide the guests. Decorative touches could be a floral centerpiece<\/a>, a small potted plant, or a single giant balloon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Want something a bit more elaborate? You could go for a wider array of scented oils, plus varied bottles and supplies<\/strong> (2) presented on mirrored sheets. Your containers could be extra special, such as apothecary jars for the scents selection <\/strong>(6) and vintage perfume bottles for filling and taking away as favors.<\/p>\n

Planning on a themed look? Create a fanciful vintage motif<\/strong> (3) decorated with lush rose arrangements, fancy glassware, and lacey linens.<\/p>\n

DIY Fragrance Bar: To-Do Checklist<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a basic approach to planning for a fragrance bar:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do your research.<\/strong> Read up or consult a reputable source on skin-safe scented oils that can be handled and blended without risk of allergies or other harmful effects. Be guided by this information when buying your perfume bar needs.<\/li>\n
  2. Buy ahead<\/strong>. Stock up on either a complete, ready-to–use Perfume Bar Kit (see our product picks below), or buy the needed supplies separately: larger bottles for displaying essential oils, smaller empty bottles for guests to fill, droppers, pipettes, funnels, paper towels, sticker labels, and favor pouches.<\/li>\n
  3. Print a perfume blending guide.<\/strong> To help your guests, type up a step-by-step procedure for how to combine scented oils, plus 2 or 3 sample \u201crecipes\u201d to follow. Print these out as signs or small cards.<\/li>\n
  4. Set up a table or counter.<\/strong> Be sure there is enough space for guests to comfortably gather round, whether seated or standing.<\/li>\n
  5. Prepare display elements.<\/strong> With or without a tablecloth, set out trays or platters to hold the perfume supplies. For varied heights, you can use tiered racks, cake stands, even boxes covered with fabric or doilies.<\/li>\n
  6. Arrange supplies.<\/strong> Lay out the bottles of scented oils, empty vials, decanting\/blending supplies, signs\/cards of the blending procedure, and your chosen favor packaging.<\/li>\n
  7. Add decorations.<\/strong> Pretty up the presentation with flower arrangements or potted plants, ribbons, bunting, balloons, confetti or loose petals.<\/li>\n
  8. Provide\u00a0hand towels, tissue, and aprons<\/strong> for guests. Some oils can stain clothes easily, so an apron would be helpful, but optional.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
