For those with a yen for Yin
The Harmonist, a homegrown luxury bespoke parfumerie on Melrose Avenue, will celebrate its new partnership with Barneys New York in Beverly Hills from noon to 4 p.m. Friday with a fundraising event and new fragrance launch. The Harmonist is known for its highly customized scents. Shoppers are aligned with elements such as earth, metal, water, wood and fire, and a scent is blended for them depending on which element they resonate with. The service will be available at the Barneys event, alongside the brand’s latest fragrance, Yin Transformation, with calypso orchid, Bulgarian rose, almond milk and white musk ($305). The Champagne-and-canapes affair is open to the public. Shoppers will receive a scented candle with any fragrance purchase, and 25% of sales will be donated to WIZO, a female-run foundation that supports education and social services in Israel.
