Over the weekend I made a short but sweet surprise visit to the newly opened 2 Note Perfumery in Hudson, New York. Our friends, Darcy & Carolyn, closed the doors to their shop in Portland earlier this winter in preparation for a very exciting move, and while we were sad (heartbroken, really) to see them leave, we couldn’t be happier about their new adventure! Selfishly, we’re pretty excited to now have four great reasons (we’re also in love with their two dogs) to make many future trips to the Hudson area, a region we fell in love with immediately after we first visited in June.

While my time in Hudson on Sunday was all too brief, I did manage to snap a few photos of their beautiful new shop and the facelift the 2 Note brand received. As usual, Darcy & Carolyn have outdone themselves in the design of the new store – a must-visit for anyone making the trip to Hudson in the next few months! We’re, of course, already counting down the days until our next visit to the new 2 Note shop so that we can stock up on our favorite shave cream & face balm… and share some amazing meals in Hudson with our talented friends.
