TPS Fragrance Stylists and attendees may wear face shields, masks or face coverings should they wish.

The nature of the event is that customers need their nose exposed in order to smell the fragrances, therefore they are not mandatory.

For the presenter we advise a face shield should the individual feel they want this additional control measure.

Fragrance Stylists to make attendees aware of the importance of social distancing and hotel policies.

COVID-19 spread through touch on perfume blotters and perfume bottles and fragrance registration cards

Fragrance Stylists and visitors.

Regular hand sanitising.

For the handing out of blotters, this should be every 3 blends presented.

For blending of fragrance hand sanitising should be after the blending of each fragrance.

When handing out blotters the Fragrance Stylist and assistants should pass each blotter directly to each delegate to reduce the number of people touching a blotter.

This is not necessary for those who attend from the same ‘bubble’.

When collecting fragrance cards, ask attendees to put them in a pile on a table and an assistant to collect from each table. This reduces people moving around the room.

Ensure that attendees do not pass fragrance cards to each other.

Fragrance Stylists by communication of these processes to the attendees and ensuring blotters are not passed between individuals.
