Happy Spring!!  Hope this finds you well. 

Some of you may know this already but I am thrilled to be nominated as an HONOREE for the TJ MARTELL FOUNDATION’S WOMEN OF INFLUENCE Luncheon at the Plaza Hotel on May 13. It is such an honor to be chosen by an organization that is so altruistic, and which raises funds for such a worthy cause. Tony Martell is now retired from the music industry, but it was through Music that gave him the impetus to keep a promise to his son to find a cure for cancer, and today the TJ Martell Foundation has raised over $270 million for leukemia, cancer and AIDS research. Music is so fundamental to my wellbeing, too, as it is one of the joys of life and I grew up in South Africa, surrounded by music and art, inspired by mother.  Imagine a world without Music? Imagine a life without any of the Senses? That is why I am so honored to be chosen as a Woman of Influence because it is through the Senses that we can help people bring about positive change; bring HAPPINESS to those in need of it, and also to find a cure through the Senses for these terrible diseases. It is humbling to be honored and to be in the company of so many other remarkable women, and it only makes me want to work even more effectively and strategically to strive to make a greater difference. I know that many of you won’t be able to attend, but I wanted you to know that it is through my passion and love for the work I do in Fragrance that I believe this has come about, and so I am excited to share this with you. Of course, if you can make a donation or attend, it would be wonderful and so appreciated, as it is for an excellent cause, Warmest wishes, Scentfully Sue Phillips Invitation  

Honoree Questions for Social Media Campaign  - SUE PHILLIPS

RESPONDS: 1.What does it mean to you to be chosen as a Woman of Influence by the T.J. Martell Foundation? It is such an honor to be chosen by an organization that is so altruistic, and which raises funds for such a worthy cause. Tony Martell is now retired from the music industry, but it was through Music that gave him the impetus to keep a promise to his son to find a cure for cancer, and today the TJ Martell Foundation has raised over $270 million for leukemia, cancer and AIDS research. Music is so fundamental to my wellbeing, too, as it is one of the joys of life and I grew up in South Africa, surrounded by music and art, inspired by mother.  Imagine a world without Music? Imagine a life without any of the Senses? That is why I am so honored to be chosen as a Woman of Influence because it is through the Senses that we can help people bring about positive change; bring HAPPINESS to those in need of it, and also to find a cure through the Senses for these terrible diseases. It is humbling to be honored and to be in the company of so many other remarkable women, and it only makes me want to work even more effectively and strategically to strive to make a greater difference.

  2.What piece of advice would you give to young women today to inspire them to follow their dreams? As Adjunct Professor at LIM College, I try to motivate and inspire my students to believe in themselves, and to explore their surroundings, as they are living in one of the greatest cities of the world. I tell them that it’s important to fuel their passions and to open themselves to all kinds of opportunities. “You’re living in New York City. Avail yourself of everything that is here; the museums and galleries, lectures and parks. When you go from class to class; look around you, look up at the spectacular New York city views and architecture…keep your eyes open!” There’s so much that can help them in their future endeavors. Many of them are obsessed with reality shows, so I try and broaden their horizons and to inspire them to think exponentially. And, if they fail in their endeavors, my motto is to ‘never give up’ and to keep going! Hopefully they remember my words and dream big!

  3. What steps do you take to make health and wellness a priority in your life? Having been witness to so many people who have been afflicted with cancer, leukemia, AIDS and Alzheimer’s, I try and live my life in as healthy a way as possible. Exercise and a wholesome diet are important to me, but also incorporating beauty and the joy of Art, Music, Fragrance and other Senses, are ways to enjoy a ‘scentsory’ life, to completely ensure my wellbeing. I believe in the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the highest form of wellness!

• Motivational Speaker – sharing the fun, education and interest that perfume engenders in people is a very powerful team-building tool. I am always delighted to be asked to share my passion and knowledge of the fragrance world and use it to create positive dynamics amongst groups of individuals. I will be speaking in February 2016 at Canyon Ranch (www.canyonranch.com) – you can read more details here.
• Being interviewed by Journalists – every magazine, newspaper, blog or internet based media has its own unique and individual viewpoint and a particular audience profile. I am always thrilled when asked by journalists to explain how fragrance could be important to their particular client base.  Here’s a recent article in Guitar Girl Magazine (www.guitargirmag.com) where we discuss the link between music and fragrance. My Byrdie (www.byrdie.com) also interviewed me a few weeks ago and we discussed some of the more technical aspects of perfume and how or why certain scents will last longer than others. Click here to read.
• Custom Scents – when you have a special event, such as a wedding, what could be a more perfect way of sharing  your day with your guests than creating a custom scent yourselves for your special day and then gifting each of your guests with a sample?  Whenever they wear your special scent, they will think of you! And if they really love it, they can always re-order from my web site: www.scenterprises.com. Read the editorial written by the New York Post (www.nypost.com) and my custom fragrances for Weddings.

As a Bespoke Fragrance Designer or “Perfumeur”, my mission is to create custom scents, also referred to as bespoke or signature scents. I love fragrance and I adore sharing my knowledge and passion for scent with fragrance lovers.

Guests experience an educational, interactive and scentertaining™ voyage of ‘scentsory’ discovery and love the outcome of leaving with their OWN bespoke fragrance.  It’s not just for women, as 40% of our clients are men. For more details on how to book a fragrance workshop at the Scentarium™, please call: 917-449-1134, email: info@scenterprises.com or book on line

If you don’t live in New York, but would still like to have a bespoke perfume created just for you, I have a subscription service where you will receive 4 unique and distinct perfumes created especially for you. Once you’ve subscribed, you take my specially developed Scent Personality Quiz. Your answers to each question give an insight into the fragrance notes that you prefer and will allow me to create a beautiful and unique scent just for you. Each scent (4 per year) will be mailed to you with a unique reference code – so that you will be able to re-order it again and again from our website: www.scenterprises.com.  I have had rave reviews from so many of my clients who keep reordering  their  ‘bespoke perfumes’ time and time again. This way you can create and order your Bespoke Perfume or Signature Scent. How many times do you hear “Wow, I love your outfit – it’s so YOU!”? Well now you can hear “Wow, I love your perfume – where DID you get it?”!  Of course you will be able to answer – “It was designed JUST for me!” So, don’t miss out on the latest fashion trend – and if you’d like to offer someone a truly fragrant Christmas Gift – then why not offer them a Gift Certificate for a fragrance workshop at the Scentarium™?
