Selby Gardens is happy to collaborate with Anastasia Sokolow of Sulékó for an interactive fragrance masterclass that invites guests to vibrantly experience wild Florida in springtime. The event, scheduled for Thursday, March 20, 2025, from 6-8 p.m., will take participants on a journey to uncover the richness and variety of Florida’s habitats and their unique scents. Registration $165 for non- members and $145 for members. Register atselby.org
After a brief introduction to the fascinating geological history of Florida’s formation, guests can follow along as Anastasia explores forests where magnolias and citrus grow wild among old oak trees, across barrier islands, through mangrove tunnels, pristine springs and rivers, pine forests, swamps, and the famous River of Grass. As Anastasia takes you through these unique environments, she will also guide you through the specific ingredients that evoke the scents of Florida’s flora. Anastasia and Selby Gardens staff will reveal how valuable and fragile these treasures are and how important and urgent it has become to preserve their beautiful habitats.
Throughout this interactive presentation, Anastasia will introduce guests to the Sulékó Language of Scents wherein scents and emotions meet. She will describe how she used this language to translate her experience of Florida and create Florida Vibrations Eau de Parfum and its unique bottle. Guests will discover more about Anastasia’s approach to perfume design and how she selects and uses scents to narrate a story and stir emotions. For this class, participants will receive a box which includes materials such as various fragrance notes from the Florida Vibrations Perfume and ingredients that reflect the olfactory facets of natural habitats of Florida.
