The Spirit of Lakeview Scent
Top Note: Green leafy accents dance in crisp air reflecting the essence of shade on our tree-lined streets, where you can catch the scent of herbal tea as you stroll through our corridors and pass one of our many cafes
Middle Note: In the heart of this fragrance you will find harmony between woody and peppery nuances intertwined with earthy tones, creating a blend that represents our community members and businesses. When these scents are blended, they shine brighter as if they stood alone, counting on the support of one another and creating an impact larger than life
Base Note: As the scent settles, a luxurious warmth envelopes. Creamy, richness invokes connection within a thriving community, inviting you to linger in its comforting embrace. Like the bonds between neighbors, a lasting impression of unity remains.
The experience that brought the Friends of Lakeview to life: Executive Director Becca Girsch; Marketing and Events Director Alyssa Lombardo; and Friends of Lakeview Board member and Chamber President, Stepanie Biederman visited the AURA studio to blend custom fragrance inspired by three adjectives representing our community that AURA’s team assisted in brainstorming; Bright, Proud, Resilient. AURA Candle Bar’s Scent Consultants worked with Becca, Alyssa, and Stephanie to choose their favorite fragrances from over 100 single-scents offered at AURA before they were then guided through AURA’s guest process to create their unique fragrance translations via fragrance theory and candle science. The three candles created in AURA’s studio were then sampled by the Friends of Lakeview Board of Directors. The Board evaluated and then voted on the fragrance that became the representative fragrance of The Spirit of Lakeview.
