Live Event Calendar

 

Come shop small with us at live events & markets in 2026!

Fragrances are always better experienced in-person. Plus, we often test new scents and unique products in our booth that we don't yet show online.

We have several more events pending for fall. We will update here as soon as they are confirmed. This calendar is always current.
