Chicago Perfume Launch Party

Spend an afternoon with us celebrating the launch of Marina Kozak’s artistic practice, In Bocca Al Lupo Studio (IBAL Studio). At the center of the gathering is Smoke Toad, IBAL’s inaugural Eau de Parfum, presented alongside its companion incense burner.

Created as an antidote to the inward drift of winter, Smoke Toad carries notes of black pepper, coriander, oakmoss, guaiacwood, musk, and smoke—dark and grounding, yet energizing. The toad-shaped incense burners are meant to act as small companions through the colder months, inviting you out of your head and back into your body: write down what weighs on you, and offer it to the Smoke Toad.

Each burner is fired using a raku process, giving every piece its own surface and character. No two are alike, and visitors are invited to choose the one that feels right to them.

While shopping Marina’s new collection, enjoy a delicious selection of cakes and treats from Maggie McInerney of cakesux.
