Planning for the ScentExpo 2026

[Joe]

Yes, of course! We will be selling tickets for all venues from midweek next week (except for the London ScentExpo 2026 - tickets already on sale at www.scentexpo.org - as I have been in the Far East for the past week (still in China at the moment). I am talking to a couple of other vendors for inclusion in the London ScentExpo and that will be announced in the coming days.

We lost almost a week due to a collaboration with the London Perfume Exhibition who approached us and asked if we wanted to join them and this caused chaos and destabilised a couple of our vendors in our planning for the London ScentExpo, but was worth the try as some very big names were attending there. Anyway that is no longer happening as they have had to postpone until December, but I have had to put things on hold and be discreet while we were talking to them.

This below is a screenshot of the title page of the proposal document they sent us.

hope you folks are having a good time...

I hope someone takes some pictures of the different vendors and/or their set-ups and shares them here. I understand about people not wanting to share photos of themselves online but maybe some images of the various tables?

I got you, albeit with the disclaimer that my photos are really bad, taken hurriedly and wanting to be fairly mindful of people’s privacy! If anyone has issues with these photos let me know and I’ll edit this post.

It was/is a lovely event with lovely people in attendance. I’m jumping the gun a bit since proceedings are still ongoing - I think Faizal is giving a talk in 30 mins time. It was proper Ouddict behaviour and reckless spending from me - I needed to leave before I made any more bad financial decisions. 💸 🤣

Habz of Habzoud couldn’t make it on the day due to a bereavement, so thoughts with him.

Check out these big pieces!

Elkhaldi Studio - I somehow failed to take a photo of this one. Sorry … was too busy sampling and buying!

Al Hashimi/Ghaliya Perfumes - including Nadeem’s enlightening talk about the history (and future) of Ouddict.

Outside view of the venue in Fitzrovia … just off Tottenham Court Road. A superb location. Took a quick detour to Soho and the Coach & Horses afterwards for a quick refreshment, then a taxi to Waterloo. Bosh!
