"Hosted twice weekly in the gardens of the perfumery inside historic Stewart Hall, I enjoyed a classic English afternoon tea served from Harney & Sons—teas like Tower of London and Paris arrive in quaint mismatched cups alongside tiered trays of finger sandwiches, tiny cakes, petits-fours, and scones with clotted cream, honey, and jam, many featuring local ingredients, making for a properly British yet distinctly Bermudian experience." - Katherine Cusumano, David LaHuta
"A perfumery housed in a 1700s-era home in historic St. George that crafts fragrances inspired by island botanicals and dates its roots to 1928; visitors can join complimentary tours (typically held daily at midmorning and midafternoon except Sundays and public holidays) and may attend afternoon tea in the garden on select days." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.

"Selecting a Signature Scent at the Bermuda Perfumery The abundance of tropical flowers and plant life flourishing along Bermuda’s sunny shores makes it a prime location for the creation of fabulous fragrances. The Bermuda Perfumery has been blending essential oils and floral essences into sweet-smelling perfumes, under the Lili Bermuda name, since 1928. Located at Stewart Hall in St. George, visitors can see the perfume-making process, sample different scents, and purchase lavish gifts. All fragrances are developed on the island under the direction of perfumer Isabelle Ramsay-Brackstone. Specially blended fragrances represent the natural beauty and floral, citrus, and sea-inspired scents of Bermuda. Whether your fragrance tastes lean toward flirty florals, hints of honeysuckle, or fresh bursts of citrus, there is a scent to suit every body. Exotic concoctions of coconut milk, guava, and sea salt will stir up memories of Bermuda's tropical location. Men’s fragrances include refreshing aromas of loquat and seagrass as well as masculine mixes of warm Bermuda cedar, rosemary, and lavender. A wide variety of products are available for purchase, including perfume, eau de toilette, cologne, body lotion, and shower gel. Can’t decide between all of the enchanting scents? Try a mix of small, sample-size vials."
