Smells Like Bridal Spirit: Neil Morris Custom Fragrances

Want a scent that will be totally unique for your wedding day? In a one-on-one consultation at the Neil Morris Fragrances boutique in Boston, you can devise a custom creation. Morris will ask you roughly 25 questions, ranging from your favorite time of day to your favorite childhood memory. Based on the answers, he’ll select some of his 700 oils for you to smell, and together you’ll build the fragrance right on your skin. The 90-minute consultation costs $475 and includes a 2-oz. bottle of parfum, as well as a travel-size spray bottle.

Not in Boston? Don’t fret. Morris also travels the country for bridal showers and engagement parties. For $300 per person, he’ll complete an abridged version of the process in a bridal shower “game” your guests will love. After all, a bridal shower by any other name but Neil Morris wouldn’t smell nearly as sweet.
