Cocktails of the Craftsman Era at the Magic House

Step inside one of Pasadena's most extraordinary historic homes for a rare evening at the Magic House. This private residence in one of Pasadena’s most sought after neighborhoods, will host this once in a lifetime event.

Throughout the evening, enjoy live music, Craftsman Era cocktails, and time to explore the house and grounds at your own pace. Whether you're drawn by history, architecture, or a good party, this is a unique opportunity to experience one of Pasadena's true hidden gems.

For Pasadena Heritage’s Craftsman Week, chef, natural perfumer, and sensory educator Jeffrey Paul, founder of The Aromatic Gourmet, is creating three signature perfumed cocktails inspired by Craftsman-era Pasadena and California.

Each cocktail will use aroma, flavor, presentation, and historical references to interpret the culture and character of the period through the senses. Accompanied by specially created menu cards and visual storytelling, the cocktails are designed to complement the experience of the historic Craftsman setting.

Through The Aromatic Gourmet, Jeffrey brings together the disciplines of gastronomy and perfumery, using scent and taste as tools for sensory storytelling and cultural interpretation.
