Every Great Memory Has a Scent

The Lost Note Society was founded on a simple belief: fragrance deserves a place of its own.

Not a retail counter. Not a department store. Not an algorithm.

A place where people can gather, discover, learn, and connect through the invisible art that shapes how we remember the world.

Inspired by the intimacy of old-world salons, listening rooms, and private societies, The Lost Note Society was created for those who believe scent is more than something you wear.

It is memory. It is identity. It is emotion made tangible. It is a story told without words.

Founded by Sheena Tahilramani, founder of Banter & Bliss, The Lost Note Society is the culmination of more than a decade spent studying, teaching, and sharing the art of fragrance. What began as a passion for scent evolved into one of Southern California's leading fragrance experiences, introducing thousands of guests to the world of perfumery through immersive workshops, scent creation, and fragrance education.

The Lost Note Society was born from a desire to create something deeper—a dedicated home for fragrance culture. A place where collectors, enthusiasts, creators, and the scent-curious could gather around a shared appreciation for perfume as both art and experience.

Nestled within a hidden space inspired by the legendary Jungle Room, The Lost Note Society invites members and guests to explore fragrance through conversation, discovery, and shared experience. Here, rare perfumes are passed across tables. Stories are exchanged. New favorites are uncovered. Every gathering offers an opportunity to experience scent in a way that feels personal, thoughtful, and unforgettable.

Our events bring together collectors, enthusiasts, creators, and the scent-curious alike. From guided fragrance tastings and blind smelling experiences to conversations with perfumers and immersive sensory gatherings, each experience is designed to deepen appreciation for the art of perfume.

We believe fragrance is one of life's most powerful yet overlooked pleasures. A single note can transport us decades into the past. A familiar scent can evoke a place, a person, or a feeling we thought we had forgotten.

The Lost Note Society exists to celebrate those moments.

To rediscover what moves us. To follow a scent wherever it leads. And perhaps, to find the note we didn't know we were searching for.
