I was recently invited to attend an event by Glade that allowed consumers to explore their emotions at The Museum of Feelings. This interactive experience built to showcase the beautiful connection between scent and emotion. Visitors are taken on a sensory journey through the Museum, where Glade fragrances act as the inspiration for visitors to explore their emotions.

Host and popular signer, songwriter and actress, Becky G performed an acoustic set at the launch. She also tried out the technology at the various galleries to see her emotions come to life.

When you first enter the Museum of Feeling you will experience a responsive mood wall where your shadows break apart into colors represented throughout the space before moving into the five unique galleries that reflect the mood of each visitor. The galleries, are inspired by Glade fragrances, allow you to experience how the sense of smell, in partnership with the other four senses, create the emotions we feel. Temperature will change, wind will blow and disappear and subtle fragrances with heighten the experience.

Feel Optimistic

The first zone, inspired by Glade Radiant Berries fragrance, feature layers of reflective and sheer curtains that guide guests to the center of the room. Using reflective pass card, each guest will be able to activate sensors that trigger, audio and light as you go through the space.

Feel Joyful

Here you will explore a virtual forest inspired by the Glade Balsam & Fir Limited Edition Winter Collection fragrance. With mirrored and reflective surfaces on the floors and walls, the forest will appear infinite from above and below. Scented lanterns will react to light making for a magical moment.

Feel Invigorated

When you move into this space inspired by Glade Blue Odyssey scent, you will be surrounded and tracked by a halo of color and motion that can experienced in 3-D. The halo will react to your motions and speed as you move about the room and lead you to the scent beacons in the space.

Feel Exhilarated

Enter this space, and virtual kaleidoscope in the Exhilarated space, you can control the floral images that are displayed throughout the station and you are greeted with the scent of Blooming Peony and Cherry

Feel Calm

When you enter the Calm Exhibit, which is inspired by Glade Lavender & Vanilla fragrance, you will be walking among the clouds. Every three minutes a new cloud will be created while light and sound complement the calming feeling.

The Museum of Feeling is open to the public for a limited time this holiday season and is located at Brookfield Place, 230 Vessey Street. It is free and open to the public from November 4 through December 15.

On November 17, 2014, I was invited to attend the opening of the first Glade Boutique. This store opened in New York City and will be there through the holiday season. This one of a kind Pop-Up Boutique is here just in time for the holidays and it was a night of great fun and surprises.

The boutique features a multi-sensory, immersive, and interactive experience for shoppers-including a journey through five spaces all inspired and infused with fragrance. These rooms will knock you off you feet, when you step inside, you will feel like you have been transported into another land.

The idea behind this is one that is simple but one that we don’t think about with our busy lives. How does the power of scent make us feel and how it affects our mood?

The space was created collaboration with designer Pamela Dennis and noted interior and architectural designer Stephanie Goto. Both designers played role in designing the boutique and visitors can see how the interior space reflects the inspiration and emotion they drew from the Glade scents.

When you first enter the boutique, you are greeted by a Concierge to help guide your scent and emotional journey. You have these great sofas where you can just sit and relax from the hustle and bustle of the city and the holidays.

The boutique features five amazing and stunning rooms that bring to life the Glade scents that we have come to love.

Relaxation which was inspired by Hawaiian Breeze is a walk through a larger than life conch shell where a warm breeze blows through the air and an orange glow warms the skin. As sounds of the ocean waves relax the mind, when you come out the other side to experience a beautiful sunset.

Flirty inspired by Blooming Peony and Cherry. This allows you to participate in a personal high fashion photo shoot y stepping into a one of the the kind gown created by celebrity designer Pamela Dennis.
