Wynwood just got a whole lot better-smelling. Popular custom fragrance shop Olfactory NYC has landed in Miami, opening a shiny perfume counter where you can play perfumer and create your very own custom scent in less than an hour.
The process is fun and foolproof. First, pick a base scent from the curated wall of fragrances, each with details on its notes, the perfumer behind it, and even the iconic scents they’ve worked on. Once you’ve found “the one,” head over to the Scent Bar, where a Scentologist helps you fine-tune your fragrance. If your nose can handle it, you’ll sniff through eight scent combos before narrowing it down to two for a final wear test. The winner? It gets bottled, labeled with your name, and—boom—you’ve got a signature scent.
Olfactory NYC also offers private event bookings, making it the perfect alternative to those candle-making classes you’ve probably seen everywhere. Plus, once you’ve nailed your fragrance, you’re in their system and can come back anytime for a refill—or grow your collection with a body wash, lotion, or even a candle in your signature scent.
