"The Perfume Salon works perfectly as a platform to explore
and discuss the world of perfumery. The crowd around me all
enjoyed themselves thoroughly.” Fragantica


First launched in 2014 and now firmly established after three successful London salons, The Perfume Salon offers both established and emerging perfumers and musicians an opportunity to showcase their wares. This Salon will feature a presentation by Perfumer Dom Bridges, founder of the Margate based wild fragrance brand Haeckels, followed by live music from English blues and swing artists The Ottermen.

Haeckels is a wild fragrance brand founded in 2012 by Dom Bridges who wanted to reconnect fragrance with the beautiful Jurassic chalk coastal area that surrounded him in Margate, Kent. All Haeckels products are formulated at its cliff top Margate laboratory including distillation of herbs and other plants grown nearby in its local allotment. Haeckel's products are very much a work of love, of natural ingredients, of design and quality but ultimately a love of reconnection whether with a plant, a person or a place.

Playing a mix of Blues, Swing, Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly, with influences from Hoagy Carmichael to Bob Dylan, The Ottermen are band with a unique English take on tradition, music and culture. In recent years they have performed alongside such acts as 'Sweet Babboo', 'The Wave Pictures' and Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets).
