What we’re about
Where perfume sparks connection, and beauty is lived — not just seen.
This group was born from a simple desire: to bring together people who share a particular kind of sensibility — a love for perfume, for calm and meaningful conversations, for beautiful spaces and good food.
After attending various Meetup groups, I often found parts of what I was looking for — but never quite the whole. I longed for a space where scent wasn’t just a passing interest, but the common thread that could link shared passions like interior aesthetics, cultural outings, and quiet connection.
Scented Conversations is that space.
It’s a not-for-profit social group for those who find joy in scent, detail, and lived beauty. A group for people who wear perfume with intention, who restore and decorate their homes with personal flair, and who find meaning in the small, beautiful moments of life.
🌸 Each event begins with the scent you’ve chosen to wear that evening
🪞 We share thoughts, stories, and memories linked to our perfumes
🧴 We dive into one or more fragrances together — often themed around a specific brand or perfumer — exploring their creations through conversation, storytelling, and hands-on discovery. During dinner or drinks, we might sample a few scents, share impressions, pass around blotters, and enjoy the simple pleasure of smelling something new, together.
🛍️ Some weekends, we may also plan small olfactory explorations — visiting iconic London perfumeries like Liberty, Harrods, or Selfridges, to discover new scents together and share the joy of in-person sniffing.
But perfume is just the beginning.
We also gather for:
🍷 Calm evenings in quiet pubs and refined restaurants
🎨 Cultural outings: exhibitions, art, cinema (especially noir), design
🍣 Culinary wanderings — with a love for Japanese cuisine and subtle pleasures
🛠️ Creative interiors — from DIY decor and object restoration to vintage market strolls and antique-hunting
This group is LGBTQ+ inclusive and open to anyone who values beauty not as a show, but as a lived, shared experience. Whether you're new to the world of fragrance or have a long-standing passion, you'll find kindred spirits here.
Events will be intentionally small (4–8 people), to foster authentic conversation, unhurried exchange, and a warm, sensory atmosphere.
If you believe perfume is more than a scent — it's a language — this might just be your circle.

See all- 🎬 Scent & Screen: The Divorcee (1930) at The Cinema MuseumThe Cinema Museum, London, SE11 4TH
Let’s continue our scented journey with an evening where fragrance meets cinema.
Join Scented Conversations for a vintage movie outing to see The Divorcee (1930), hosted at the iconic Cinema Museum.About the movie:
Norma Shearer dazzles as Jerry, a modern woman who shocks society by embracing independence after her husband’s infidelity. Defying double standards, Jerry explores love, heartbreak, and empowerment in this bold story of passion and revenge.
The screening is part of the Women & Cocaine movie series. The movie will be preceded by a short introduction and followed by a raffle.***
How does scent fit in?
As always, perfume is our connecting theme. For this evening, we’ll explore which scents might capture the atmosphere, mood, or characters of the movie.
💡 Feel free to wear a fragrance that reflects the movie’s energy — powdery, smoky, rebellious, or dramatic.
If you like, bring a small decant or bottle to share impressions and ideas casually with others.***
Plan:
- Meet at 7:00 PM outside the Cinema Museum entrance
- Brief intros + scent conversation
- Watch the movie together at 7:30 PM
- Optional chat after (in the bar or outside)
