New York’s newest perfumery, The Scentsorium, was filled with the International social set and media, who gathered at its trendy intimate location at 85 Franklin St. Much like a sommelier, Phillips guided guests on a fragrance olfactory journey, explaining the differences between fragrance categories and the sensory link between scent, memory, and emotion. She presented a range of 18 exquisite perfume blends for guests to customize their optimal signature fragrance which were decanted immediately into a designer purse perfume spray or elegant men’s cologne canister. Guests received a certificate of registration once they named their fragrance and formulas from the evening were stored in The Scentsorium database for ease of refilling. Guests had the opportunity to select various size perfume Bottles including a rare Austrian Cut Crystal Signature Bottle filled with their preferred scent.

Proceeds from the event benefitted the research to fight breast cancer at the Look Good Feel Better Program and initiatives for the cure of various women’s cancer at
Memorial Sloan Kettering, a world class facility whose sole focus is on the treatment and prevention of cancer. Phillips' goal is to help people heal by offering guests the opportunity to design their custom ambient scenting to make their worlds Scent-sational!

What looks like soap bars is actually solid cakes of amber, with a most delicate scent.
When Sue asked me if I wanted to design my own fragrance, I went for unmixed amber oil.
Every time I wear it, I am constantly getting compliments. |
