The Salons
The intimate atmosphere of the Salon offers a special opportunity to experience the arts as revealed by the artists themselves—whether seeing color through the eyes of a painter, hearing harmonies with the mind of a composer, or exploring fragrance alongside a master perfumer, we awaken and refine our senses, allowing us to more deeply experience and appreciate our everyday lives, each other, and the natural world around us.
