Not sure how many people on here are from St. Louis but I would love to see more community among the fragrance fans here so let's see if we can make it happen! Feel free to introduce yourself here.
My username is booonbooon (Booon! Booon!). Fairly new to this hobby (about 3 months lol) but enjoying it a lot so far. Been enjoying sampling at Neimann Marcus, LV, Nordstrom, Macy's and Sephora. Wondering if there's anywhere I'm not aware of with really cool selection or more indie/artisan fragrances for sale, or some kind of cool events (despite how much I use this site, I generally much more enjoy an IRL community than a virtual one). Some of my favorite scents are

Nimitr,

Black Orchid Eau de Parfum,

Sticky Fingers Extrait de Parfum,

Derviche,

Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette, and

Oscar Parfum.
Welcome! I hope there's more here :) If there's enough people from outside of St. Louis proper maybe this could pivot to Missouri or if REALLY needed, Midwest, though I'd love if this could be as local as possible.

hi! I'm bosco, popped in from the St. Louis sub on reddit. I've been into BPAL/Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab since 2019, and recently started branching out into other indie houses. right now the ones I wear the most are Arcana Wildcraft, BPAL, and Whisper Sisters, but I've also dipped into Pearfat, Pineward, Pulp, and Treading Water.
I tend to do my sampling thru online services like Ajevie and Arae Decantery. the latter is operating on discord only at the moment and that community is a bunch of delightful enablers, but I am good at getting myself into trouble anyway, so I really can't blame them.
if there's interest, I would love to help get a monthly-ish meetup going where we can gather (ideally outdoors when the weather is nice) and gab and sniff and swap. maybe alternate between the city and county if needed.

awesome, welcome bosco!

Aaahh I have enjoyed your perfume reviews on Bluesky and they have made me want to try some of those BPALs for sure! I would love to do a meetup/sample swap too

omg hello! that would be so rad!

I guess I should do a proper introduction-- I'm Lana, south city (Shaw), 50F old goth/punk. Right now my favorites are Tom Ford Soleil de Feu, Habibi Desert Oud and Rare Woods, Boy Smells Woodphoria, Atelier Bergamot Soleil, Terre D'Hermes...I like bitter citrus, teas, and woods for the most part but want to try some weirder stuff too. I'm going to China this month and hoping to snag some To Summer scents and duty-free goodies.

I'm a bit late to this post, but hi! I'm Alea, 37F, and I'm a South City resident that is getting back into fragrance again after leaving the scene for about 4-5 years. I would be so interested in a monthly meetup to sample, swap, or just gab about perfume!

I'm not familiar with too many niche/indie houses, but I am so interested in learning more about it.
