Perfumeverse Meetup, Squishmallows, & Events this Weekend
let's hang??!
You're on this list because you subscribed to smelling good! Each edition brings you local NYC perfume news, fun fragrance events, and exclusive features to spark your scent exploration.
Hi friends, it’s Nadia! I’m cooking up some special events for the rest of this year, and this first one is a bit last-minute. I wanted to float it by you all before we move forward.






We’re talking with Joya Studio in Red Hook (499 Van Brunt St) — one of Brooklyn’s most iconic fragrance houses, known for their sculptural candles, immersive installations, and artist collaborations — about hosting a fun meetup on Saturday, October 4th! [UPDATE: RSVP HERE!]
Here’s the idea:
✨ A private walkthrough of Joya’s studio where you’ll see their creative process up close, experience their current installation with Tom Fruin, and get a peek at some of the incredible projects they’ve worked on, including collaborations with A24, Dominique Ansel, Ernest Hemingway, and more.
🍷 A wine pop-up by Dancing Wines: a winery that partnered with Joya to create three fragrances inspired by their winemaking process. (My favorite is Midnight Crush — juicy plum-cassis with a smoky, spicy dry-down.)
To make it easy to get there, I may even run a complimentary shuttle from the nearest station to Red Hook!
Hit reply or drop a comment to let me know — your feedback will help me decide if we make it happen. 💌
