Welcome to the twenty-fourth issue of Black Girl Perfume Club! Let’s dive right in.
Hey loves, last Wednesday was an absolute dream. I hosted an intimate group of BGPC members at Scent Bar DTLA for our inaugural meetup, and the first of many! I’m already planning the next one (and your city could be next)!
Scent Bar associates Dana and Raoul guided us throughout the space while giving everyone space to find what scents they naturally gravitate toward. Some of my personal favorites that I smelled at the event:
Lorenzo Pazzaglia ‘Van Py Rhum’ - A sexy Twilight-esque scent.
Strangers Parfumerie ‘Cherry Amaretto’ - A cherry fragrance that doesn’t reek of cough syrup.
Matiere Premiere ‘Parisian Musc’ - A sophisticated, green-influenced musk.
Essential Parfums ‘Nice Bergamote’ - Like hanging out on the French Riviera.
Giardini di Toscana ‘BoraBora’ - A creamy, tropical floral flush with apricot.
Check out the video below to see what everyone else went home with.
As promised, the VIP membership raffle winner is: Rashidah T.! I’ll contact you personally so you can receive your VIP gift.
Thank you again Scent Bar for hosting us!
