With intimate group numbers and a shared appreciation for the finer things, this experience is designed to spark genuine conversation, meaningful connections, and lasting impressions.

Ilias bio: Science meets perfume; ”Being a scientist with a worldwide research publication, I always felt confined to logic. There was never enough room for expressing my creative side, at least not to the extent my heart and mind were craving for. I soon realised that I had to do something to satisfy this insatiable need to express my inner worlds; and what better way to do this through Art!

Fragrance has been a vital part of my life for as long as I can remember. Following both Science and the Art of Perfumery at the same time, I was fortunate enough to work for some of the world’s biggest companies and be trained by the biggest names in the industry.”
