Is it nearly the end of March already? After a few weeks of glorious weather, a cold Spring day today reminded us that we aren't completely out of the cold spell. Still, it is wonderful to glimpse early signs of Spring blossoms peaking out from leaves and happy bright yellow daffodils in the stores!
Exciting news at Scenterprises! We have been invited to participate at an Editor's Event on Thursday March 29 to present an 'uplifting'scent seminar at which we will take everyone on a 'fragrance journey' and discuss perfume ingredients which bring joy and happiness, as well as give everyone the opportunity to create their own personalized, individual fragrance.
On Monday April 16 we shall be collaborating with a spectacular diamond company, Royal Asscher (Since 1854) www.royalasscher.com and shall be creating Custom Perfumes and a tiny diamond shall be included in each atomizer....Diamonds and Perfumes - wonderful accessories for the ladies. Limited Space so check out our Calendar of Events and make sure you reserve your space early. RSVP info@scenterprises.com
On Thursday April 19th the Association of Real Estate Women (AREW) Charitable Fund will host an evening of make-up, scent, style and more. At the “Put Your Best Face Forward” event, guests will walk a step and repeat and be photographed red carpet style; have lips and eyes done by makeup experts; be able to refresh their fashion style for spring with tips from a top expert; and discover their custom scent.
The evening also includes refreshments, participation in drawings for make-up or head shot sessions and a complimentary gift bag. Make-up and services will be provided by Julia Dalton-Brush, Bruch Beauty Makeup & Hair Artistry. Other participating professionals include Victoria Janshvili, photograper; Julia Roth, style/image consultant; and Sue Phillips, Scent Image.
On April 25th , GLOW BEAUTY MAGAZINE'S Spring edition will be launched at NYU Langone Medical Center's Joan H. Tisch Center for Women's Health. As GLOW'S Fragrance Editor, I am thrilled that my article "The Healing Art of Perfume" is featured in this magzine that supports Women's Health and features Dr. Nieca Goldberg of The Tisch center. www.glowbeautymagazine.com
Also, don't forget that the next big 'celebratory' holiday is Mother's Day....and creating a custom perfume is a wonderful gift to give Moms. I shall be at Saks Fifth Avenue in NY and will help determine which fragrance family consumers like, so that we can make suggestions to try all the magnificent new perfumes they might like to try!
As always, I am passionate about fragrance and am thrilled to be able to share this with you.
Scentfully,
Sue

A "SCENT-SORY" TRIBUTE - Traveling to the Wine Region in Spain to celebrate the Senses!
A ‘Scent-sory’ Tribute in Great Places Directory
Scentologist Sue Phillips President of Scenterprises discusses sources of inspiration for her fragrances!
As a designer of custom fragrances for special events, I view our Sense of Smell to be extremely important in our lives. Of all our senses, our Sense of Smell is the most powerful (after our Sense of Sight), and some studies have now shown that it is THE most powerful….but sadly it is the most ignored. As we age, our olfactory sense diminishes and if people lose their Sense of Smell, they lose their Sense of Taste, which results in depression. Think about how so many social activities revolve around dining –having breakfast, meeting for a romantic dinner, sipping tea with friends, family brunch etc. If people can’t smell and therefore can’t taste, then people withdraw from society and lose interest in life.
The solution? Engage in our Sense of Smell. Smell well and smell often! Take time out to truly SMELL THE ROSES!
So, how do we do that? Every day we engage our senses with food, music, art, fabric and or course scents (encountering wonderful aromas and sometimes awful smells). I was recently in Spain visiting my daughter who lives in a lovely town called LOGROÑO in the wine region of La Rioja. We spent a few days together in Barcelona, visiting the Perfume Museum and walking on Las Ramblas, and had a memorable time visiting a few BODEGAS (not the colloquial NY ‘grocery store’ bodegas found in a Spanish-speaking neighborhoods,)but in Spain a real BODEGA is a wine-shop, or a warehouse for the storage of wine …and in Logroňo they are spectacular WINERIES.
Seeing the meticulous wineries with their beautiful wooden barrels lined up like plump dough-boys is a joy to see …and one naturally inhales the rich aromas! Not only are the wines first class, but the actual wineries are an architectural showpiece. Each one has a design aesthetic that is so unusual and yet so welcoming, and each has its own particular style. Here is the spectacular entrance to the YSIOS Bodega and the wine barrels.
Ysios is very special place and subscribes to the notion that smell and taste are so intertwined– and one of their wines was designed by wine and perfume maker Alexandre Schmidtt - take a look at this bottle and you will see the label.
But turn it on it’s side and you will see a profile of Schmidtt.
Another memorable ‘scentsory’ experience was the restaurant in Ezcaray, which is a small charming village in the La Rioja region with a fabulous restaurant EL PORTAL, owned by a chef who trained at the famous restaurant EL BULLI (described as “the most imaginative generator of haute cuisine on the planet” and closed as of July 2011). It will reopen as a creativity center in 2014. We had a magnificent 10-course tasting menu, complete with wines and the most delicious variety of grained breads infused with raisins and nuts and of course every course was a visual and sensory delight. The restaurant’s stark white décor with minimal flatware allowed each dish to take center stage with the food being the visual masterpiece!
After the gastronomic feast we walked around the area and came across a treasure! Who would have thought that in this tiny village we would encounter an artisanal cashmere ‘factory’ owned by a father and son who weave beautiful scarves which are sold at Bergdorf Goodman? I oohed and aahed at the magnificent colors and became the proud owner of the most gorgeous purple, violet, and lavender plaid-patterned scarf. How coincidental that I wore a purple sweater that day!
Finally, our last stop was at the luxury hotel and winery, Marques de Riscal, in Elciego which was also a delightful surprise. Not only was the winery (I can’t quite call this one a bodega) marvelous, but the hotel was designed by none other than architect Frank Gehry. His signature undulating roof is crafted n titanium, but as a tribute to the wine region, the signature ‘Gehry’ billowing roof also reflected the colors of Pink (for the Wine) and Gold for the gold netting that houses the Wine bottles of de Riscal.
How fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience this quaint region, in size, but gigantic in terms of visual, sensory, gustatory and olfactive beauty! The aromas linger, but alas, are no longer completely fresh in my memory, but the visual memories are magical, and to have shared this with my daughter was the most compelling of all!

AUGUST IN THE CITY
Many times I am asked by clients and journalists the question:
"What is the most important aspect of fragrance?" My answer is: "Wear something you love, and something which reflects who you are!" Don't always follow the trend, because the trend might not suit you.
Seasons, Mood, Emotions all play a part in what fragrances people like and will purchase.
On hot days the last thing people want are heavy perfumes and therefore light, refreshing scents are ideal for this time of year. My ideal scents for Summer are crisp, light, refreshing scents with a hint of hyacinth (for sweetness) and sparkling citrus notes from Bergamot, Grapefruit and a hint of lemon and lime. Fruity notes are fine, but be careful that the fruity fragrances don't become too sweet and 'cloying'in the summer, which can detract from the exhilarating feeling of 'fresh and clean' - two of the most sought after characteristics of a fragrance.
The rain yesterday and today in NY are a respite from the sweltering heat and humidity of the"Dog Days of August"! Once the rain clears, there will be an energizing crisp, refreshig scent in the air and like a wonderful large window-wiper, it clears everything away.
We have had some wonderful coverage of our Custom Perfume events and thanks to Charu Suri and her fabulous team of bloggers we have had lovely articles about our TRAVEL SCENTS events.
Here are just a few of them! Enjoy reading about our CUSTOM PERFUME events from bloggers who know!

SUMMER IN THE CITY - HOT, SEXY and SCENTED!
What an incredible busy few months! We have been preseting Custom Perfume events for companies like AOL, we did a pre-mother's day event for SAKS Fifth Avenue, parties for 50th Birthday Parties, Events at JUVA SKIN CARE SALON and in general making the world smell wonderful!
At a recent ISES EVENT for the BIG APPLE AWARDS I was thrilled to meet many EVENT planners and they are a great group. It was wonderful to introduce them to our Custom Perfume and Environmental Scenting initiatives. I was fortunate enough to meet Steve Fried of GREAT PLACES and he invited me to write a blog for their website. What an incredible busy few months!

http://www.greatplacesdirectory.com/blog/summers-%E2%80%9Csenses%E2%80%9D-sizzle
It was posted today and am delighted that I can add that to the roster of publications I write for: GLOW BEAUTY MAGAZINE, HAPPI, VUVUZELA and now GREAT PLACES.

At a recent ISES EVENT for the BIG APPLE AWARDS I was thrilled to meet many EVENT planners and they are a great group. It was wonderful to introduce them to our Custom Perfume and Environmental Scenting initiatives. I was fortunate enough to meet Steve Fried of GREAT PLACES and he invited me to write a blog for their website. What an incredible busy few months! We have been preseting Custom Perfume events for companies like AOL, we did a pre-mother's day event for SAKS Fifth Avenue, parties for 50th Birthday Parties, Events at JUVA SKIN CARE SALON and in general making the world smell wonderful!

SNIFF YOUR WAY TO PROFITS!! Multi-Sensory Presentations by Sue Phillips
At my recent presentations for the Luxury Marketing Council in Tampa, West Palm Beach and Miami, I showcased Environmental Scenting Technology, and my focus was all about "Celebrating the Senses".
Many people from all industries are fascinated about the subject of fragrance, but some are a little leery about it because they don't really know much about it or understand it. Today, Scent Marketing is the new branding frontier, and it is a growing industry!
Our Sense of Smell is the strongest sense that we have after Sight and yet it is the most ignored! Without our sense of smell we can’t enjoy food because Scent and Taste are so intertwined, and as a result people get depressed and their lifestyle becomes severely impacted.
Many Fortune 500 companies are now recognizing the power of scent, and as a result are ‘scent-branding’ their properties to create a memorable experience for their guests, and to ensure return visits to their Casinos, Hotels, Spas, and Retail Stores. Even Corporate Event Planners are utilizing Scent to create a multi-sensory experience for their guests, and are incorporating ambient aromas for themed weddings, events, and Special Occasions.
Supermarkets are now enticing customers to buy food by incorporating environmental scent in the air.. and much like the Pavlovian response....when you smell the tantalizing aromas of coffee, delicious roast chickens and scrumptious deserts, the cash registers reflect that craving and start to ring as consumers purchase those items.
Today, ambient scenting can be programmed into individual hotel rooms! By selecting your desired scent when you check in at the front desk of an hotel, you can let them know what fragrance you like, and it can be controlled and activated from the front desk so that when you walk into your room, your favorite scent is already wafting in the room! This is an initiative that has already begun in Paris and we are bringing it to the USA.
Talk about customization and establishing a home-away-from home ambience!
This particular technology was developed in France by whiz guru Yvan Regeard of Exhalia and Scenterprises Ltd is the USA partner. Our environmental scent presentation is compelling and the product is amazing! We can deliver fragrance though computers, DVD’s, Videos and television!
Yes! We have Scent-o-Vision in a delivery system that offers amazing aromas for all kinds of interactive, multi-sensory video games, computer programs and TV cooking shows. We have interest from every major fragrance company and also from national Television shows for this application.
We offer 3 product lines to diffuse perfume interactively in association with multimedia contents:
• Scent Marketing products- for fragrance sampling; point of purchase programs, and store events;
• Hospitality Systems product line - Systems for olfactory marketing professionals and for air treatment,
• Home Systems product line-- wonderful ambient home systems
Today there are many wonderful delivery systems from a range of companies for all types of spaces: small, large and medium areas. There are nebulizers which diffuse liquid into vapor which is barely discernible; diffusion through scented pellets with fans; Saturated Pads that are placed in Scent Cubes where the air flow draws in the air and then diffuses it through the fan; Scented Gels which are diffused through digital scent technology through which the scent is synchronized with software and activated via the sound and images in videos and TV television.
The digital world is realizing that the use of fragrance for interactive video games such as “World of Warcraft”, TV Cooking Channels and Flower and Garden shows are much more experiential if the viewer can actually smell the wonderful aromas from their computers, DVD’s, Videos and Television!
