Hi, welcome and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and helped with the Inaugural Australasian Artisan Botanical Perfume Expo (wow that's a mouthful).

It was a day full of fun, fragrance and festivities. They say to be successful, you should surround yourself with talented people. My incredible co-exhibiters included Suzanne Banks of Banks Botanicals, Kim Lansdowne-Walker from Temp L Dor and the amazing Julie Nelson, creative force behind Aromatique Essentials and the Expo itself, so talent was in plentiful supply.

Thanks to our volunteers and helpers, notably Portia Turbo from APJ, Emma, Kath, Rebekah, Kitchen Green for the tasty treats and Amy for photography. It was great to see so many Sydney Perfume Lovers too.

Serenade and Lotus Lane were launched at the Expo and were the most popular of the Pearl Perfumery fragrances. They are so new they have not yet been listed on the web site but are available. Just click here to enquire@pearlperfumery.com.au

Oh, and I almost committed a terrible faux pas in forgetting the infamous Lord Foppington. He graced us with his presence and powdered pomposity. Hopefully he will be enticed to join us for the next Australasian Artisan Botanical Perfume Expo, already being planned for 2017.

Let us know if you have any suggestions!

If you could not make it to the Expo, but would like to come to a Salon Day, to sample fragrances and enjoy a free high tea please enquire@pearlperfumery.com.au
