Norfolk Natural Living X Retreat East: Fragrance Layering Afternoon Tea
We’re thrilled to be partnering with Norfolk Living to bring you a truly unique countryside experience: the Fragrance Layering Afternoon Tea – a playful, immersive afternoon that combines two of life’s loveliest pleasures: beautiful scent and glorious cake. This is perfume, but not as you know it. Hosted by the ever-glorious Bella Middleton, founder of Norfolk Natural Living, this afternoon is all about scent as pleasure — tactile, personal and ever-so-slightly addictive. You’ll explore raw botanicals, essential oils and beautiful Norfolk Natural perfumes, before settling in for an afternoon tea inspired by fragrance itself (bergamot tartlets! rose creams!). There’s a gentle massage element, a layering tutorial and plenty of time to play and shop after the event! You’ll leave with a complimentary 3ml perfume, a well-fed sense of contentment and a head gently swimming in scent and quiet joy. This will be a gorgeous, surprising, and memorable afternoon – a touch of light-hearted luxury with real substance beneath the prettiness. Spaces are limited, making this an intimate and indulgent event you won’t want to miss. Bookings now...
