Fifth Note

Toronto is literally the place to be right now ⚽🇨🇦

The world cup is HERE. 6 matches at BMO Field, June 12 – July 2, including Canada’s first-ever home world cup game.

If you’re visiting Toronto for the tournament (or just lucky enough to live here), we have the most underrated thing to add to your itinerary.

Come build your own custom perfume at Fifth Note. It’s a 1.5-2 hour workshop where you blend, create, and leave with a 30ml fragrance. No experience needed. Just vibes.

Make a scent that smells like THIS summer. The one Toronto never forgets 🌍🧪

Spots are going fast (especially around match days)

That bowl of coffee beans at the fragrance counter isn’t there to help you…

Sniffing coffee doesn’t reset your nose, it just buries the fragrance notes you’re nose blind to. Your olfactory system recovers through rest, not by processing 800+ new aroma compounds. Retailers know this, yet the bowl stays anyways.

The real consequence: you end up evaluating a fragrance through a haze, buying something that smells completely different once you’re actually wearing it at home.

Your nose doesn’t need a palate cleanser. It needs a moment of clarity and rest.

Have you ever bought a fragrance at a counter and felt like it smelled different when you got home? Drop it in the comments 💙✨
