A Smelly Surprise, An Interactive Adventure for Curious Kids & Their Grown-Ups

Every child dreams about what they’ll be when they grow up—but how often do they hear about becoming a perfumer or a scent designer?

This joyful, hands-on event opens the door to the magical world of fragrance and flavor, offering a rare, behind-the-scenes experience designed especially for kids (ages 3-10) and their grown-ups.

What to Expect:

A live storytime reading of Stinky and Bigs – The Smelly Adventures with author Nancy Cavallaro
An exclusive scent discovery experience created by Cosmo Fragrance House, where children explore ingredients found in the book
A deliciously fun perfumed potions curated by WTSA co-founder Mindy Yang, highlighting yummy tastes that bring the story to life
A kid-friendly intro to the fragrance industry—featuring real professionals who design the scents all around us
Q&A + hands-on play + take-home sensory learning

“We wanted to create a space where children can discover the beauty of their senses and imagine new possibilities for the future,” says producer Ariella Halperin of Storied Senses. “Fragrance is all around us—but few people know how it’s made or who creates it. This event changes that.”
