Melanin Magic Meetup: March 28th | richmond, VA
Scent bar & sips:
Fragrance Happy Hour 🍷
Featuring Brown Sugar Babe Body Oils
Welcome to Melanin Magic Meetups with Charlene T. Easter
Melanin Magic Meetups are the in-person extension of my online community — fun, feel-good gatherings designed for melanated women to connect, converse, and indulge in beauty, fragrance, and wellness experiences together.
Our next gathering is Scent Bar & Sips: Fragrance Happy Hour — an evening filled with scent exploration, sangria (or soda), and plenty of sisterly vibes.
For this event, I’m excited to feature one of my favorite Black-owned fragrance brands, Brown Sugar Babe. If you’ve heard about these amazing body and perfume oils but haven’t had the opportunity to try them yet, this is your chance.
Brown Sugar Babe offers a variety of designer and niche-inspired fragrances in the form of nourishing body oils that can be used from head to toe. They deliver that luxurious “designer scent” experience for a fraction of the cost of the original fragrances.
During the evening, we’ll explore the Art of Fragrance Layering for soft, smell-good skin all day (or night 😉). You’ll have the opportunity to sample Brown Sugar Babe oils alongside a curated selection of complementary fragrances to create your own signature scent combinations.
Whether you love yummy gourmands, sophisticated florals, or sensual skin scents, this experience is designed with you in mind.
Expect guided fragrance layering tips, scent sampling, and a relaxed atmosphere to connect with other fragrance-loving women.
Join me for this fragrance sampling experience at Art Works Studios & Galleries on Saturday, March 28, 2026 from 5:30 PM – 7:15 PM.
Want to make it a “Double Date”?
You can also grab a discounted ticket for Part II of the Brown Sugar Babe Scent Bar & Sips: Fragrance Happy Hour on Saturday, April 25, 2026. During this second event, we’ll explore even more Brown Sugar Babe nourishing body oils along with budget-friendly fragrances (think $50 or less) that are perfect for warmer weather in the Fruity, Woody, Aquatic, and Solar scent families.
📌 Tip: If you’d like to attend both events, once you reach the next page scroll to the bottom and add the April Scent Bar & Sips event to your cart before completing checkout.
While both gatherings will feature Brown Sugar Babe nourishing body oils, each event will highlight different oils and fragrance combinations for you to explore.
