invites you to a bridal shower for her sister
Chiara Benedetti
A morning of perfume, a long lunch, and the women who love her, before she marries Luca in June.
The morning, composed

Arrive to something cold among the old flacons, neroli in the air and the shop all to ourselves.

At the perfumer’s organ each of us adds one essence. Maestra Ilaria blends them into the bottle Chiara will wear on her wedding day.

1:30 pm
A long table in the cloister, a Florentine lunch, and her gifts opened with dessert. We close the doors at three.
A few notes from Elena
Please wear no perfume that morning, so every note in the room is hers.
The cloister is open to the sky. Bring a light layer, and shoes kind to old stone.
Chiara and Luca keep their list at Bottega dei Servi in Florence. It is online too, if you are travelling.

Choose the essence you’ll bring to Chiara’s wedding scent, then sign the blotter.
