Some people are experts in wine, others in cheese, fewer still in various teas and then there is Denise Estrada, who falls into the even lesser known group of "perfume connoisseurs." For Denise, perfume is something she uses lightly, but takes very seriously.
"It's my fun, my joy," she said.
Opened only a year ago in July of 2007, Denise's perfume shop, Melange Apothecary, has already been praised in such publications as WWD and OK! Magazine as well as formed a lengthy list of celebrity clientele to add to their extensive following of devoted customers. This popularity does not come for no reason. In addition to selling fine perfumes, soaps, body creams and more, most of which Denise happens upon in her travels and daily dose of magazines, Melange apothecary offers a create-your-own perfume bar which allows customers the unique experience of making their very own one-of-a-kind scent. Working almost like a salad bar of scents, customers can schedule an appointment to learn about the art of perfume making and discover what smell works best with them.
