One of the world’s oldest perfumeries is all too happy to pass on some of the tricks of its trade to Bermuda visitors.
Lili Bermuda Perfumery’s master perfumer, Isabelle Ramsay-Brackstone, welcomed guests to the Olde Towne for an in-house class on exploring fragrance.
The perfumery dates back to 1928, when it was founded by William Blackburn Smith and his daughter Madeline Smith.
Visitors this month got to try their hand at creating their own scent in Seward Hall, its historic 18th-century headquarters in St George’s.
