Tijōn Winter Park Joins FABCO, Strengthening French-American Business Connections in Central Florida
NEWS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Orlando, Fla., July 8, 2026 – Tijōn Winter Park, Central Florida’s first interactive custom fragrance-making experience of its kind, has joined the French-American Business Council of Greater Orlando & Space Coast (FABCO), further strengthening the connection between local businesses, French heritage and international entrepreneurship throughout the region.
Located at 1015 S. Orlando Ave. in Winter Park, Tijōn Winter Park brings the art of fragrance creation to Central Florida through immersive, hands-on perfume and cologne making experiences inspired by the traditions of the famed perfumeries of Grasse, France and the French Caribbean culture of St. Martin.
Founded in 2007 in Grand Case, St. Martin, Tijōn transforms fragrance creation into an interactive experience where guests become the perfumer. During workshops, guests wear lab coats and create their own personalized scent from an “oil organ” featuring more than 300 fragrance oils with guidance from trained perfumologists. Each custom fragrance formula is archived, allowing guests to reorder their signature scent in the future.
As the first Tijōn franchise location in the Orlando market, Tijōn Winter Park is owned and operated by serial entrepreneur, philanthropist and author Alyce Bartolomeo, who opened the location to bring a unique cultural and creative experience to the Central Florida community.
“Joining FABCO is an exciting opportunity for Tijōn Winter Park as we continue building relationships throughout Central Florida’s business community while honoring the French roots that are at the heart of our brand. Tijōn is built around creativity, connection and celebrating life’s special moments, and FABCO provides an incredible platform to collaborate with other businesses that share a passion for innovation, entrepreneurship and cultural exchange,” said Alyce Bartolomeo, owner of Tijōn Winter Park.
FABCO serves as the official voice for French business interests in Central Florida, connecting companies, entrepreneurs and organizations through networking opportunities, educational events and initiatives that promote economic growth and cross-cultural collaboration. Established in 1990, FABCO has supported businesses of all sizes and industries throughout Central Florida and the Space Coast for more than 30 years.
“I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Tijōn Winter Park to the FABCO family! Having personally stepped into the 'perfumer’s shoes' at their beautiful new boutique, I can tell you that this is an experience like no other in Central Florida. From the moment you put on your lab coat and stand before that incredible 'oil organ' with over 300 scents, you aren't just taking a class—you are being transported to the traditions of Grasse, France. I had the best time crafting my own signature scent, 'Morning Whisper,' and it is such a special touch knowing that my unique formula is now archived forever. Whether you are looking for the perfect date night, a memorable birthday celebration, or a unique corporate team-building event, Alyce Bartolomeo has created a true sanctuary of creativity here in Winter Park.
Congratulations, Alyce! Your passion for craftsmanship and connection is a perfect match for our mission at FABCO. I can’t wait to see the community fall in love with this experience as much as I did!,” said Isabelle Tran, president of FABCO.

Workshops are ideal for corporate team-building events, client engagement experiences, bridal parties, birthdays, anniversaries, girls’ nights, date nights, travel groups and other special occasions.
Tijōn also offers mobile fragrance experiences throughout Central Florida for private events, corporate gatherings and off-site activations.
