What a cool place I would like to come back here at least every month. I recently quit drinking cold turkey and they had a great selection of mocktails so I could enjoy the flavors and scents . The staff goes above and beyond to make sure that you know what kind of drinks you are getting, and they even gave me a special birthday sample. They offer a charcuterie board, but I was not hungry. We did get the nuts and they were satisfying. It's been such a cool location with some seating outside and it's really a one of a kind unique gem in Detroit. The drinks were so beautiful and it was quite an experience to try the different scents that accompany them.

This review is long overdue! My husband and I have had the privilege of patronizing castalia/sfumato since opening and have had the pleasure of watching the knowledgeable staff and owners build an amazing business. Kevin, Jane, and Kyle are masters of their craft and I not only love existing in the space, but getting to know the people who make castalia so fantastic.Eventhough I'm sure they interact with thousands of customers, I always feel special coming here through their drink recommendations, knowing my preferences, and the conversations we have. Castalia strikes a beautiful balance of class and approachability.This place is a treasure and a fixture of midtown. Congrats to this business, I love it so much!!!

This place is honestly pure magic. My friends and I were completely mesmerized by the enchanting fragrances, the expertly crafted drinks that perfectly matched those scents, and the overall vibe as we made our way to the bar. The two bartenders were incredibly welcoming, even though we were in a goofy mood when we arrived. Their skills in crafting drinks with aromatic spices and botanicals, not to mention creating these incredible long-lasting oil-based perfumes, left us in awe. Trust me, this spot is a haven for both the classiest and nerdiest of folks. I can't recommend it enough - gather your friends and TREAT Y'ALLSELVES TO THIS!!

This is my second time here, first time they were so rush, and Mr. Peterson contact me directly to try them again, is surprise me they treatment and professionalism. This staff truly care about customer service and quality. Something that any customer needs to seek at the time to pick a place to have a good time and experience. I truly recommend this place not only for the quality of their cocktails and their customer service, also for the search of be a better version. 100% im coming back, great place for a date, happy hour or just enjoy the experience between the cocktails and the fragrance.

Took a Zero-Proof Cocktail Making class here! It was informative and delicious. There is so much detail and thought behind the cocktail, fragrances, and location aesthetics. Absolutely would recommend for anyone looking for an intimate, inclusive evening. Cheers!

Ive never imagined that paring a scent with a drink would be so amazing. This is the perfect chill spot in midtown perfect for a quick date or a friends night out. I ordered a mocktail and it was just as tasty as the real thing . The staff was funny and super personable.

My partner and I bought fragrance from Sfumato at our first visit to the cocktail bar and we have been super impressed with the quality, longevity, and scent profile of both, so much so that we got sampler sets of all 8 at our next visit. Great gift idea for someone you know well!

This is the coolest and probably the smallest bar in the city. The drinks are well prepared and paired well with their fragrances.We are huge fans and will always come here when we are in the area...if we can get in. Reservations are suggested, especially on the weekends.

The fragrances are divine, the branding is perfect, and the creators/owners are extremely knowledgeable and hard working. The staff is always friendly and helpful when I come in. I've been wearing Nijananda for years now and it will stay in my rotation. Absolutely check this place out for a unique sensory experience!

This was one of the best experience in my life. Delicious from de beginning. I smelled, I drunk, I dreamed, and I brought at home the bottle of natural fragrance: ARCANUM.

Surprised I had not wrote a review on this place already since it's pretty amazing. The fragrances they sell during the day are great. This has been my go to place for scents for about 2 years now.Also the cocktails they make here are great and unique. While the scent pairing with the cocktails is different for everyone, it still makes for a unique experience. The bartenders are always super friendly as well. Will continue to go her whenever friend want chill fun night.

I really love this place! It's an experience. The fragrance shop in the evening transforms into a fragrances and cocktails. Painstaking selected ingredients that matches the note with your drink. In mild weather they have an adorable outside courtyard.

I have taken two of their classes here and had so much fun and learned so much at both of them. I recently took the custom scent creation class and left with my own bespoke scent that I wear even when I'm at home alone because it makes me feel so happy. Also the cocktails are superb, if you can fit yourself in. :)
