The A Priori compounder at a vineyard event

Live custom fragrance for events, hotels, and brand moments.

A scent experience your
guests will actually remember.

We bring a live perfume compounder to weddings, private parties, hotels, venues, and brand activations. Each guest takes a playful quiz, then receives a 1‑of‑1 fragrance in a glass bottle with your label. Two minutes per guest. 150 guests, 150 bottles. None alike.

The N of 1 Protocol

No menu of bottles.
One made for each person in the room.

01

The Inquiry

Guests scan a QR code. They answer a short quiz on their phones — written around your event, brand, venue, host, or theme. Less survey, more tarot reading. No apps. No downloads.

02

The Synthesis

Their answers become a personal scent direction. Fresh, warm, floral, smoky, soft, strange, polished — the blend is made for the person standing at the table.

03

The Manifestation

The compounder dispenses the recipe drop by drop into a glass bottle with your label. Two minutes. One bottle. A personalized keepsake that belongs to the event.

The Quiz

A short quiz. Written for your crowd.

Every quiz is custom-written for your event. Questions reference the couple, the hotel, the product launch, the host, the venue, the dinner, or the inside jokes — whatever makes your guests laugh and lean in. Your branding, your names, your story. Their answers become a scent they can watch being made, but the experience feels entirely yours. No A Priori branding on the bottles — just your event, your label, your keepsake.

Built For

One format.
Many reasons to gather.

Weddings

A favor guests actually use, built around the couple, venue, weekend, and story.

Hotels & Venues

A memorable welcome amenity, VIP gift, lobby activation, or private event add-on.

Brand Activations

A tactile way to turn campaign mood, product world, or launch concept into something guests take home.

Private & Corporate

A polished guest experience for dinners, retreats, holiday parties, client events, and milestone nights.

The Experience

The lull in the event becomes the thing people talk about.

Your guests have a drink in one hand and a few minutes between moments. They gather around the machine. They take the quiz. They watch the robotics work. They walk away with a bottle no one else will ever own. By the end of the night, people are comparing scent names, swapping bottles, and remembering the room through smell.

A Priori N of 1 bottle with custom scent label

Your label. Your event. Every bottle can show the guest’s name, their scent name, and your custom branding — a wedding, hotel welcome, launch party, private dinner, or VIP gift.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much space does the machine need?

About the footprint of a small cocktail station — a standard 6-foot table is more than enough. We bring everything and handle setup.

Do you provide an attendant?

Yes. Every booking includes a dedicated A Priori attendant who runs the machine, guides guests through the experience, and handles any questions.

What if a guest has allergies or sensitivities?

Full ingredient list is printed on every bottle. Guests can flag any ingredient to exclude before their scent is made.

How long does each bottle take?

About two minutes from quiz completion to finished bottle. Multiple guests take the quiz simultaneously on their own phones, so there’s never a long wait.

What do guests take home?

A 30ml glass bottle of their 1‑of‑1 fragrance with your custom label — guest’s name, scent name, and your event branding. It can feel like a wedding favor, hotel welcome, brand gift, or private-event keepsake.

Can you customize the quiz for our event?

Absolutely — that’s the point. We design the quiz around your event: references to the couple, venue, property, product, host, brand world, or inside jokes.

Is your branding on the bottles?

No. Every bottle is fully white-labeled to your event. The label can carry your names, venue, property, brand, date, and the guest’s scent. The brand is entirely yours.

Do you travel outside the Bay Area?

Yes. We’re based in Marin County and primarily serve the Bay Area, Napa, and Sonoma, but we’re available for destination events. Reach out and we’ll make it work.
