ODYSSEY IN MANHATTAN
Fragrant points of distribution in New York City were destinations of the Sniffapalooza group’s Fall Ball. Fragrance

The group began their two-day odyssey at Bergdorf Goodman where fragrances presented included CHANEL,
Palm Beach Beauté’s Judith Leiber Night, Balenciaga Paris, Bottega Veneta, Tom Ford Violet Blonde and A Dozen Roses.
The Sniffapaloozas breakfasted while sniffing the super-luxe scents.
