Viva Las Vegas!

What happens in Vegas doesn’t necessarily stay in Vegas, and that’s a good thing! The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas has just partnered with leading natural perfumer Ajne to create the Demi-Blend Experience, which will guide guests through the fascinating process of creating their very own signature scent!

The Four Seasons Spa is the first in Las Vegas to offer such a service, and takes pride in the fact that the Demi-Blend Experience incorporates organic essential oils which are healthier for the patron and the planet alike.

The process begins with Ajne’s computerized Chakra test, which helps your personal trained specialist–or melanger determine which areas of your body need harmonizing. The multiple-choice test, which takes about three to five minutes to complete, asks such questions as which scents you’re naturally drawn to (such as floral or spices) as well as more personal questions relating to your stress level and your overall satisfaction with life (all answers are kept completely confidential). A computer processes your responses to determine which of your seven Chakras are most out of balance and, using this information, your melanger chooses the specific oils from the Ajne Rare & Precious Blending Bar that he or she determines will help to realign your Chakras. From this selection of oils, which may include such metaphysically pleasing names as Om and Printemps, you’ll be asked to narrow your choices to just a few which you find most pleasing. And, just as a wine connoseur knows to cleanse his pallet between each sip and swish, the professionals here keep a tray of coffee beans close at hand to keep your olfactory senses keen for each new fragrance sample. Once your melanger has determined that your choices include the proper balance of base notes, middle notes, and top notes, a sample blend will be spritzed onto your arms and given some time to react with your body’s natural chemistry (this step is extremely important, as anyone who fell in love with a perfume at the department store only to later find it disappointing can attest).

Once the fine-tuning is complete and your final mixture is blended to perfection, your melanger will bottle it up in one of Ajne’s striking handmade bottles and ask you to choose a name for your brand new personal Signature Scent!

The Demi-Blend Experience takes about an hour and a half from start to finish, and costs between $200 - $300, depending on the size bottle you choose along with any extras such as the Black Heart Flacon Dabber. All in all, a surprisingly inexpensive way to pass an enjoyable 90 minutes in Las Vegas with a guarantee that when it’s over, unlike an afternoon at the slot machines or roulette table, you’ll have something wonderful to show–and smell–for it!
