Hello angels!
How are we all? I am currently writing this whilst getting some admin prep done for our first market of autumn/winter!
Honestly, where has this year gone?! I feel like I have blinked and it is only a few months until Christmas - wild!
As you all know, I am pregnant and due at the end of this year. This means that I am in a weird middle ground of amping up for a busy season as well as starting to slow down. I have been planning lots around markets where I may not be able to be there in person but still showcases our incredibly community and the support we all give one another! Watch this space for more updates on this!
As you know, we are going to be at Abney Hall and Mercato Metropolitano until the end of the year. Applications are still open as we are shortlisting but may be closing soon due to the amount of applications we are receiving. If you are wanting to join, now is the time to get in touch!
Here are some dates for you:
9th and 10th November at Abney Hall - Stoke Newington
30th November at Mercato Metropolitano - Elephant and Castle
7th and 8th December at Abney Hall - Stoke Newington
One of the businesses that are taking part of our market at Abney Public Hall in Stoke Newington on 12th and 13th October is SENSE’N’ by Sherif.
In a world where songs are embodied into enchanting scents, Sense'N' by Sherif stands as a unique Indie, Niche fragrance house that merges the realms of music and fragrance. Founded and created by Leonie Sherif, who is both a Musical Artist (Singer, songwriter), and perfumer this brand offers a unique sensory experience that allows individuals to explore and experience adventures through the joy of our senses.
At Sense'N', the belief is that both fragrance and music posses the extraordinary ability to transport us to different dimensions, awakening the senses and immersing them into a landscape of imagination and wonder.
Leonie draws inspiration from her musical compositions, allowing the textures, lyrics and emotions to inspire her when creating these captivating scents.
Each fragrance is meticulously crafted embodying the essence of a specific song, which evokes a rich tapestry of emotions and experiences inter woven into each scent story.
At its core, Sense'N' was initially inspired by Leonie’s deeply personal journey toward finding solace and liberation from the relentless grips of chronic pain. whilst navigating the challenges of conditions like Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, and Fibromyalgia, Leonie created Sense'N' as a sanctuary—a space where she can metaphysically disconnect from the anguish of physical pain and rediscover positive sensations and the beauty of the human experience through her senses and feminine essence.
In reconnecting back to her feminine essence amidst her health challenges Leonie found the inspiration to create "VENUS," a fragrance that symbolises strength and triumph.
Sense’N’s debut fragrance "VENUS," was released at the end of May 24’ a unisex scent which celebrates feminine energy. Although we all have masculine and feminine energy within us (regardless of gender) VENUS is designed to evoke warmth, beauty, and mystery, encouraging its wearers to connect with their feminine energy, and to embrace reciprocity, their vulnerabilities and strengths.
"VENUS" also draws its inspiration from the second planet from the Sun, symbolizing love, beauty, and pleasure, and represents the diverse aspects of femininity. With delicate notes of gourmand ambery vanilla powdery musk and a floral heart, the fragrance captivates with its nuanced qualities through subtle layers of cohesion rather than overwhelming notes.
The enchanting fragrance "VENUS" is uniquely complemented by its very own song/soundtrack, aptly titled "VENUS," which captures the luxurious essence of the scent.
Sense'N' is thrilled to announce that the upcoming release of their second fragrance, affectionately dubbed "Scent of the Szn" (#SOTS), is in the works and set to launch later this year.
In addition, Leonie will be offering exclusive samples with select purchases of "VENUS" at the WWC Market, as a sneak peak in anticipation of its official release later this year
