This was a great evening. The space is a good size not too big or small just right. It was intimate which allowed the instructor to give personal directions and tips. With a little science and glamor I was able to mix a fragrance just for me. Loved it.

The class was fun & the host was informative. You leave feeling like you’ve learned something. This memory will last forever and being able to repose the scent is a great bonus!

Overview

Souvenirs can be a fantastic way to remember a trip, but ones you’ve made yourself are even more special. In this small-group perfume-making class, craft your ideal fragrance from a range of different scents, from soft floral notes to exotic spices, and when you’re finished, personalize your bottle with a name or initials.
  • Small-group class: Lots of chances to ask your instructor questions
  • All tools included, from pipettes to beakers
  • A great way to socialize with like-minded fragrance-lovers
  • Choose from both synthetic and natural scents to suit your tastes

What's Included

  • Wide Selection of Fragrance Notes: Access to a variety of high-quality fragrance oils and essences, both synthetic and natural, to explore and choose from.
  • Guided Experience: Expert guidance throughout the workshop on fragrance selection, blending techniques, and perfume creation.
  • Perfume Blending Tools: All necessary equipment provided, including pipettes, mixing beakers, and other blending tools.
  • Parking Validation - $12 for 3 hours
  • Alcoholic Beverages
    During the workshop, we maintain a fragrance-focused environment by prohibiting food and alcohol. This ensures your palate remains clear, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the intricate scents

Wonderful guided experience. Activity leader was fantastic in encouraging trying new scents/encouraging participants to step outside of their comfort zone. Turns out one of my favorite scents was not one I thought I would enjoy. Went solo but would be fun for any number of people.
