Sniff and Swap: An Event for Fragrance Lovers

Join the Virginia Scent Society in Richmond, VA for Sniff and Swap — a fun, fragrance-filled afternoon made for perfume lovers!

Connect with fellow Virginia-based scent enthusiasts at Maven Theory, a locally loved, woman-owned fragrance and candle shop. This unique event will feature:

✨ A fragrance swap and exchange (bring gently used full-size bottles, minis, samples, or decants)
✨ Conversation and connections
✨ Prizes and giveaways

You'll also enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes look and private shopping experience at Maven Theory, where luxury fragrances and candles are thoughtfully handcrafted in small batches using eco-friendly ingredients. Each purchase supports locally-run organizations in the communities that inspired the scents.

Come sniff, swap, and support a business that blends luxury, sustainability, and community impact — all while celebrating your love of fragrance.

Want to participate in the fragrance swap? After registering, you’ll receive a short form to list the items you plan to bring. This helps us keep the swap organized and fun for everyone!

Swap Tips:
✔️ Bring gently used full-size bottles, travel sprays, samples, or decants
✔️ Label your items clearly (if possible)
✔️ Be open to discovery — part of the fun is trying something new!
✔️ Swapping is encouraged, but not required — you're welcome to come just to mingle, sniff, and learn!
