The A Priori compounder at a vineyard event

The photo booth for scent — weddings, hotels, brand moments.

150 guests. 150 bottles.
None alike.

A live perfume machine at your wedding, launch, or lobby — every guest leaves with a scent made for them, your label on the bottle.

The N of 1 Protocol

No menu of bottles.
One made for each person in the room.

01

The Inquiry

Guests scan a QR code. They answer a short quiz on their phones — written around your event, brand, venue, host, or theme. Less survey, more tarot reading. No apps. No downloads.

02

The Synthesis

Their answers become a personal scent direction. Fresh, warm, floral, smoky, soft, strange, polished — the blend is made for the person standing at the table.

03

The Manifestation

The compounder dispenses the recipe drop by drop into a glass bottle with your label. Two minutes. One bottle. A personalized keepsake that belongs to the event.

The Quiz

A short quiz. Written for your crowd.

Every quiz is custom-written for your event. Questions reference the couple, the hotel, the product launch, the host, the venue, the dinner, or the inside jokes — whatever makes your guests laugh and lean in. Your branding, your names, your story. Their answers become a scent they can watch being made, but the experience feels entirely yours. No A Priori branding on the bottles — just your event, your label, your keepsake.

The Experience

The lull in the event becomes the thing people talk about.

Your guests have a drink in one hand and a few minutes between moments. They gather around the machine. They take the quiz. They watch the robotics work. They walk away with a bottle no one else will ever own. By the end of the night, people are comparing scent names, swapping bottles, and remembering the room through smell.

A Priori N of 1 bottle with custom scent label

Your label. Your event. Every bottle can show the guest’s name, their scent name, and your custom branding — a wedding, hotel welcome, launch party, private dinner, or VIP gift.

Packages

Every engagement starts with a fitting.

A fitting is a private session where a signature scent gets made — for a couple, a property, a campaign, or a company. The quiz guides, you smell the materials, the machine compounds candidates live until it fits. If you don’t love what we make together, everything stops there. When you continue, the fitting is credited in full.

Weddings

Three ways to bottle the day.

The Favors

The Scent Fitting, then a mini of your wedding scent in every guest bag — batch-made in advance and delivered before the day. We never set foot at your venue; your scent does the appearing. Each mini carries a small tag — guests who want a scent of their own can take the quiz from home. Works for any guest count, anywhere on earth.

The Booth

The Scent Fitting, plus the machine live at your reception. Guests take a two-minute quiz and watch their own 1-of-1 bottle compounded in front of them. 150 guests, 150 bottles. None alike.

The Signature

Everything. The Fitting, the live booth for guests who want their own, and a mini of the wedding scent in every guest bag — so no one leaves empty-handed and the couple's scent is the thread through the whole night.

Your personal formulas are yours alone — we never make them for anyone else. The wedding scent is yours to share: guests can order their own bottle of it after the day, and your pattern stays on file for an anniversary re-blend, remade exactly.

Hotels, Brands & Companies

Same fitting. Different signature.

Hotels & Venues

The House Scent Program

A fitting for the property turns your space into a signature scent. White-labeled minis as welcome amenities and VIP gifts, bottles at the front desk, and machine activation days in the lobby or at private events on-site.

Brand Activations

The Campaign, Bottled

A fitting with your team translates the campaign world into a scent. Bring the machine to the launch — guests take your branded quiz and leave with a 1-of-1 or your campaign scent, your label on every bottle. We stay invisible.

Parties & Gifting

The booth for holiday parties, client dinners, retreats, and milestone nights. Or skip the event entirely: a leadership fitting makes your company scent, and batch minis become client gifts and onboarding welcomes — no machine on site required.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is the Scent Fitting?

A private session weeks before your wedding, scheduled like a dress fitting. You smell the materials, the quiz guides the direction, and the machine compounds candidates live until it fits. You leave with three formulas: his, hers, and the wedding scent. The fitting is priced on its own and credited in full toward any package.

What if we don't love our scent?

Then the package stops at the fitting and you owe nothing more. That's the point of fitting first — the big commitment only happens after the scent is right.

Can guests order bottles after the wedding?

Yes. With the booth, every guest's formula stays on file and they can order a full bottle of their own scent later. With any package, guests can order the wedding scent if you choose to share it — and anyone can take the quiz from home to find their own. Your personal formulas are never made for anyone else.

How much space does the machine need?

About the footprint of a small cocktail station — a standard 6-foot table is more than enough. We bring everything and handle setup.

Do you provide an attendant?

Yes. Every booking includes a dedicated A Priori attendant who runs the machine, guides guests through the experience, and handles any questions.

What if a guest has allergies or sensitivities?

Full ingredient list is printed on every bottle. Guests can flag any ingredient to exclude before their scent is made.

How long does each bottle take?

About two minutes from quiz completion to finished bottle. Multiple guests take the quiz simultaneously on their own phones, so there’s never a long wait.

What do guests take home?

A 30ml glass bottle of their 1‑of‑1 fragrance with your custom label — guest’s name, scent name, and your event branding. It can feel like a wedding favor, hotel welcome, brand gift, or private-event keepsake.

Can you customize the quiz for our event?

Absolutely — that’s the point. We design the quiz around your event: references to the couple, venue, property, product, host, brand world, or inside jokes.

Is your branding on the bottles?

No. Every bottle is fully white-labeled to your event. The label can carry your names, venue, property, brand, date, and the guest’s scent. The brand is entirely yours.

Do you travel outside the Bay Area?

Yes. We’re based in Marin County and primarily serve the Bay Area, Napa, and Sonoma, but we’re available for destination events. Reach out and we’ll make it work.
