Have a fun Girls Day Out outing at INDIEHOUSE Modern Fragrance Bar, Atlanta's first interactive clean beauty bar in downtown Alpharetta! Address: 26 Old Roswell St., Alpharetta, GA 30009
Carrie Hadley brought a new concept in the fragrance world with DIY workshops, a custom mixing bar, and gender-neutral scents. Her story of how she brought her vision to life is inspiring, and I'm glad that we can celebrate her big win with her.
One of a Kind Experience
My girls and I were invited to experience this one of a kind beauty bar that fragrance lovers like ourselves will appreciate.We all had a fabulous time checking out 42 independent fragrance brands from around the world, and 150 individual scents you can't find anywhere in Atlanta. INDIEHOUSE only carries brands that adhere to strict EU laws and carefully screens brands for compliance. Also, there is a botanical category of fragrances with zero synthetics, that's a massive hit for those looking for pure scents.
When you first walk in the beautiful house setting, the place is bright, airy, and welcoming. It's such a gorgeous store that will have you wanting to spend your whole day inside exploring all the different scents.
Unlike other perfume stores, you don't feel overwhelmed with many expensive-looking bottles all over the walls, unsure how much they all cost and have to bother store employees to bring them down to you so you can smell them.
At INDIEHOUSE Modern Fragrance Bar, all scents are labeled with price, the artisan that created it, and what country it came from. Scents even are organized together by the type of fragrances they are, for example, sweet, minimal, woody, and romantic. You can smell them all at your own leisure without needing someone to help you.
The fun part of our experience was the DIY mixing bar when the girls and I got to create our own fragrances to bring home. Anyone can walk in and create their own perfume with a professional perfumer for an extra fee. We even got to name and label our creations, with me naming mine Lumi after one of our guinea pigs.
And for those who need extra space for a group, INDIEHOUSE has a Scent Blending 101 Workshop Studio that is a 2-hour class that is also led by an experienced perfumer. This is more in-depth apprentice-level classes.
The Scent Blending 101 Workshop is provided with soda, sparkling water, coffee, tea, and chilled filtered water, but guests can bring their own light bites and a couple of bottles of wine. This studio space is great to host events for bridal, company team building, family reunions, charity fundraisers, and birthdays. Everyone with a nose, over age 16 is welcome. Age 13+ is permitted when accompanied by a parent. The maximum for this workshop is 12 guests.
The COVID-19 Guidelines at INDIEHOUSE Modern Fragrance Bar
With COVID going on, you may be wondering, how is INDIEHOUSE keeping their guests safe?
INDIEHOUSE Modern Fragrance Bar, when you first walk in, will take your temperature, require their guests to use hand sanitizer before entering the store, and ask guests to maintain the CDC suggested six-foot social distance from other customers.
The fragrance bar has assembled cleaning disinfectant kits and implements a regular cleaning regime that targets frequently touched surfaces. Gloves, goggles masks, and aprons are always available for guest use in the workshops.
The store has a medical-grade Carbon-Filter Air Purifier from Austin Air running continuously that is known to remove viruses and bacteria from the air.
Curbside pick-up and free shipping are available for website orders.
Workshops can be booked online and, until further notice, only six guests maximum will be scheduled per session; however, up to eight guests will be allowed at private events if they pass a health check questionnaire.
I love perfumes too. Maybe I'll go one day when things get better. Sounds like a great experience.
