Many people find it unusual to open their home doors to colleagues and partners, but I love people very much, I value home coziness, intimacy, and that unique atmosphere that guests fill the home with.

The event offered an experiential space where guests could explore home fragrances and niche perfumes. Strolienė, hosting such an event for the second time, hopes it becomes a tradition to foster community and welcome the summer season.
