Cancer Research UK: An Evening With Perfumer Sarah McCartney

© Emma Simpson

On Friday I attended a perfume event for Cancer Research UK. Sarah McCartney, a perfumer and the founder of 4160 Tuesdays, was there to develop an unique fragrance named 'A Midsummer Night's Breeze' to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

She brought a selection of a few of the perfumes she had created herself so everyone can have a sniff. She shared her expertise and explained what her technique is to developing a new fragrance.

This little bottle was our ticket, we handed this in and in a few weeks times we'll receive a little bottle filled with the perfume she has created.

As Emma's mum was one of the lovely women in charge of hosting the event, I along with Emma, Chloe and another girl helped behind the 'bar' (well, I just sipped my champagne and smiled).

Lovely Chloe and I.

At the end of the event we received a little goody bag full of samples from L'Occitane, I do love me some samples.

I'm a sample hoarder so they can join the other samples desperately wanting to be tested.

It was a lovely evening and it was interesting to find out how a perfumer works and what inspires them. But the purpose of this event was to raise money for Cancer Research UK, which as we all know is a very important organisation. Please check out Emma's post to find our why Cancer Research is important to her.
