What better way to kick off the fall season than exploring mythical stories of Vampires. Join perfumer Rubia Homa for a presentation that not only explores what repels Vampires, but also how they attract humans. Rubia will take you through a journey exploring Vampire stories from Romania and beyond. Join us for a beautiful gothic evening, of scent exploration and storytelling. Guests are encouraged to dress in Vampire/Goth attire. Trick or Treat: Rubia will be launching her new vampire fragrance for the season, giving attendees first access to preview and purchase. Free with Garden admission. Sponsored by Nancy Ridenour.
