A fun morning with my friend learning how perfumes are created, how to combine scents to evoke an emotion; that become your own signature scent.
This is an amazing, memorable experience. We are still using the perfume we made in this class and would do this again if we visited Paris!
Perfume making was so much fun! A different experience indeed! Marina was incredibly nice and patient explaining the process and encouraging along the way. Definitely recommend this tour!!
A lovely stress free fun couple of hours with Marina, making 3 different blends to get 1 that smells just right that you then get to take home, blended and bottled in the size and strength you prefer. Also Marina offers additional purchases if you like more than 1 mix and cant decide
This was a very interesting workshop and we left with a bottle of the scent we had created. So much was shared about what to think about when mixing the various aromas. Brautifully presented.
Even though I arrived late, Marina was so welcoming and still allowed me to take my time experimenting with and perfecting my three scents. She has a beautiful location and an equally beautiful, soulful spirit. Her passion for perfume oozes through every little piece of advice and every sniff of her carefully curated scents.
It was an education too. I finally learned why some of my perfumes may not last as long as I'd like! I left with two gorgeous new fragrances, one complimentary and another extremely affordable, both in customisable bottles. Such a personal, creative and memorable experience. 💕
Loved this intimate and knowledge filled class! A lot of great direction and instruction along with own scent exploration.
Fun experience with our family, including 10-year-old twin girls. The location is a little awkward as it’s tucked away in a private apartment. You get to practice with making a few different styles of perfume and then pick one to take home with you. Instructor is knowledgeable.
If you have some extra time to kill in, Paris could be worth it however, if you’re pressed for time I would skip it.
We had a fabulous time in our workshop. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. The session was informative and fun, and we were all super happy with how our perfumes worked out. Highly recommend.
Our family had an amazing experience with this perfume-making workshop, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, Marina made us feel welcome with her warm personality and genuine enthusiasm.
Marina is incredibly knowledgeable about fragrances and did an excellent job explaining the different scent families, notes, and how they work together. She took the time to understand each person’s preferences instead of rushing us through the process. Her guidance helped every member of our family discover combinations we truly loved while still encouraging us to be creative and make something uniquely our own.
What really stood out was how attentive and patient she was throughout the experience. She answered every question thoughtfully, offered personalized recommendations, and made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. Even those of us with no prior knowledge of perfumes felt confident creating a custom fragrance by the end.
The workshop was well organized, relaxed, and interactive. We never felt hurried, and it was clear that Marina genuinely wanted each guest to leave with a scent they would enjoy wearing long after the trip.
If you’re looking for a memorable, hands-on experience that’s different from the typical sightseeing activities, we highly recommend this workshop. Creating a fragrance that is uniquely yours is such a special souvenir to bring home, and Marina’s expertise and passion made the experience exceptional. We would absolutely do this again and recommend it to anyone visiting Paris!
What a lovely experience. The perfumer was so nice, and spent time perfecting the perfect perfumes/colognes. Everyone enjoyed it!
This was the perfect Paris experience and we loved every minute. It takes place in a beautiful home that is located in the middle of a business district. The perfumer who teaches the class is very knowledgeable and has many years of experience in the industry. She gave us the basics to make our own scent, and later guided us in the right direction after our first attempt smelled more like bug spray than perfume. (It was hysterical). Thanks to her guidance, we all left with a beautiful bottle filled with our personally made scents. This was our favorite Paris experience and something we will never forget. Additionally, we asked to change our workshop time from morning to afternoon the day before the workshop. They responded quickly to let us know it was ok to do so. That’s something to keep in mind. The traffic in Paris is crazy, so give yourself lots of extra time to get anywhere.,
Marina was a great instructor/teacher - had a lovely time and came away with my own signature scent.
I reached out to the organizers beforehand and didn’t get a response, but the class itself was absolutely wonderful. It was fun, hands‑on, and educational. Such a unique experience! You get to experiment with three different scent blends before choosing your final perfume to take home, which makes for a truly special souvenir and memory from France. The instructor moves around helping everyone, and while we were ready to finalize our scents a bit sooner, it was still a delightful and engaging experience from start to finish.
Very nice home. Very kind and knowledgeable. Not in a shop so very intimate and personal. She assisted everyone personally.
Very personal, very intimate and overall very nice.
Viator forces me to continue talking, so I’m just filling the void.
Marina is a great teacher, the group is small (up to 8, ours was 5) so you get undivided attention and assistance with making your own perfume.
Our instructor taught us how to make our very own smell for our bottle! She even helped my husband to make something for himself. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. She made something that could be daunting easy and fun! Would definitely do this again
A beautiful studio and very good presentation. Marina is helpful and extremely knowledgeable. A true professional perfumer that knows her craft.
This was such an informative and creative experience taught by someone that has spent years in the actual perfume industry. The explanation was so well shared that we were able to truly create very good original scents! Great experience. Want to do something that not everyone does in Paris that Paris is actually know for? You found it.
This was a really fun and unique experience for my 24 year old daughter and I. Marina was very experienced in helping us to develop our scents with the various essential oils. Highly recommend this perfume workshop!
Great experience! There was 3 of us total for the class so it was a great hands on session where we could ask questions and input. A must do when you’re in Paris!
Marina was extremely knowledgable and wonderfully welcoming. This was a wonderful and unique experience. A quintessential Paris experience for anyone interested in perfumes and colognes.
Absolutely wonderful experience! Marina is so sweet, kind & incredibly patient. She took her time explaining everything clearly & helped us find exactly what we were looking for. Her knowledge & genuine care really stood out. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great perfume experience!
I loved this, very informative. I ended up getting all 3 fragrances. Instructions and guidance were very much appreciated. Highly recommend!
A great experience! A lot of fun for both parent and teenager. The teacher is knowledgeable, patient and encouraging.
This a unique experience & well worth it.
I’ve been looking for a certain perfume scent that I could not find anywhere, but was able to just create it myself!
One best experiences I have ever had in Paris! The instructor was knowledgeable and helpful. Very patient and generous. I didn’t know we would get our bottle of perfume to take home, great experience over all!
It was really enjoyable and relaxing. Marianna took time with each person to ensure they were getting the scents they wanted. It was affordable and a fun thing to do in Paris. I’m thrilled coming home with all three of my scents.
Amazing experience, Marina is very knowledgeable and patient. Unique Parisian experience, nice lication
