The photo booth for scent — weddings, hotels, brand moments.
A perfume made while they watch.
One guest at a time.
A live perfume machine at your wedding, launch, or lobby. Each bottle takes about five minutes, made in front of the guest it belongs to, your label on it.
The N of 1 Protocol
No menu of bottles.
One made for each person in the room.
01
The Inquiry
Guests scan a QR code. They answer a short quiz on their phones — written around your event, brand, venue, host, or theme. Less survey, more tarot reading. No apps. No downloads.
02
The Synthesis
Their answers become a personal scent direction. Fresh, warm, floral, smoky, soft, strange, polished — the blend is made for the person standing at the table.
03
The Manifestation
The compounder weighs the recipe out material by material into a glass bottle with your label. About five minutes. One bottle. A personalized keepsake that belongs to the event.
The Quiz
A short quiz. Written for your crowd.
Every quiz is custom-written for your event. Questions reference the couple, the hotel, the product launch, the host, the venue, the dinner, or the inside jokes — whatever makes your guests laugh and lean in. Your branding, your names, your story. Their answers become a scent they can watch being made, but the experience feels entirely yours. No A Priori branding on the bottles — just your event, your label, your keepsake.
The palette — citrus to smoke, petal to salt

See more →The Experience
The lull in the event becomes the thing people talk about.
Your guests have a drink in one hand and a few minutes between moments. They gather around the machine. They take the quiz. They watch the robotics work. They walk away with a bottle no one else will ever own. By the end of the night, people are comparing scent names, swapping bottles, and remembering the room through smell.
A wedding scent and his and hers, from a fitting in Sausalito. Every bottle can show the guest’s name, their scent name, and your custom branding — a wedding, hotel welcome, launch party, private dinner, or VIP gift.

Packages
Every engagement starts with a fitting.
A fitting is a private session where a signature scent gets made — for a couple, a property, a campaign, or a company. The quiz guides, you smell the materials, the machine compounds candidates live until it fits. If you don’t love what we make together, everything stops there. When you continue, the fitting is credited in full.
Weddings
Three ways to bottle the day.
The Favors
The in-person fitting, then a mini of your wedding scent in every guest bag — batch-made in advance and delivered before the day. We never set foot at your venue; your scent does the appearing. Each mini carries a small tag — guests who want a scent of their own can take the quiz from home. Works for any guest count.

The Booth
The in-person fitting, plus the machine live at your reception. Guests take a two-minute quiz and watch their own 1-of-1 bottle made in front of them, about 12 an hour. For a big guest count, add minis so no one leaves empty-handed.

The Signature
Everything. The in-person fitting, the live booth for guests who want their own, and a mini of the wedding scent in every guest bag — so no one leaves empty-handed and the couple's scent is the thread through the whole night.
In-person fitting for two · live booth · wedding-scent minis for all · custom quote
Your personal formulas are yours alone — we never make them for anyone else. The wedding scent is yours to share: guests can order their own bottle of it after the day, and your pattern stays on file for an anniversary re-blend, remade exactly.
Hotels, Brands & Companies
Same fitting. Different signature.
Hotels & Venues
The House Scent Program

The Campaign, Bottled
A fitting with your team translates the campaign world into a scent. Bring the machine to the launch — guests take your branded quiz and leave with a 1-of-1 or your campaign scent, your label on every bottle. We stay invisible.

Parties & Gifting
The booth for holiday parties, client dinners, retreats, and milestone nights. Or skip the event entirely: a leadership fitting makes your company scent, and batch minis become client gifts and onboarding welcomes — no machine on site required.

FAQ
Common questions.
What is the in-person fitting?
A 90-minute in-person session in Sausalito, weeks before your wedding, scheduled like a dress fitting. We keep pouring until you love it. You leave with your wedding scent in a 30 ml and a personal scent for each of you. It's $600 for the two of you, and the full price comes off any package you book within 12 months.
What if we don't love our scent?
Then the package stops at the fitting and you owe nothing more. That's the point of fitting first — the big commitment only happens after the scent is right.
Can guests order bottles after the wedding?
Yes. With the booth, every guest's formula stays on file and they can order a full bottle of their own scent later. With any package, guests can order the wedding scent if you choose to share it — and anyone can take the quiz from home to find their own. Your personal formulas are never made for anyone else.
How much space does the machine need?
About the footprint of a small cocktail station — a standard 6-foot table is more than enough. We bring everything and handle setup.
Do you provide an attendant?
Yes. Every booking includes a dedicated A Priori attendant who runs the machine, guides guests through the experience, and handles any questions.
What if a guest has allergies or sensitivities?
Full ingredient list is printed on every bottle. Guests can flag any ingredient to exclude before their scent is made.
How long does each bottle take?
About five minutes, so one machine makes about 12 bottles an hour. Guests take the quiz on their own phones while they wait their turn. For a big guest count, pair the booth with minis of your wedding scent so everyone leaves with something.
What do guests take home?
A 10ml glass bottle of their 1‑of‑1 fragrance with your custom label — guest’s name, scent name, and your event branding. It can feel like a wedding favor, hotel welcome, brand gift, or private-event keepsake.
Can you customize the quiz for our event?
Absolutely — that’s the point. We design the quiz around your event: references to the couple, venue, property, product, host, brand world, or inside jokes.
Is your branding on the bottles?
No. Every bottle is fully white-labeled to your event. The label can carry your names, venue, property, brand, date, and the guest’s scent. The brand is entirely yours.
Do you travel outside the Bay Area?
Not yet. We’re based in Marin County and currently serve the Bay Area, Napa, and Sonoma only.
