Paula, of Paula’s Essentials, comes to the Rochester Public Market weekly to sell a wide variety of creatively named fragrances. As a shrewd businesswoman, she says that she declined the opportunity to take a picture for this story and instead requested that her logo be posted on the website to increase brand recognition. Paula also encouraged our group to like Paula’s Essentials on Facebook to attract the college crowd. Paula also owns her own shop in Rochester and says she comes to the Public Market to attract customers and increase traffic to her store. Supplying unique fragrances with a playful twist, Paula’s Essentials brings a dynamic flavor that stands out, even in the vibrant Rochester Public Market.
