When Maison Francis Kurkdjian launched their new fragrances Petit Matin and Grand Soir, a watercolour workshop seemed the perfect activity to engage their VIPs in a new and fun way.

The fresh scent of Petit Matin was inspired by the breaking dawn of Paris, while Grand Soir was inspired by the night in Paris.

Watercolours are easy to use (and clean up). And step-by-step instructions were provided to each guests to paint their own postcards.

The activity lasted about 20-40 minutes. There was a around 20 participants each session and they were all excited to start the workshop. Many of them enjoyed the session and said that it was very calming and it has been a long time since they held a paintbrush!

The activity allowed the participants to complete at different times, leaving great room for conversations and engagement at the boutique.
