Perfume 101 & Scent Families
Guests learn how perfume is built in layers, explore raw materials, and compare fragrance families. This is the educational foundation of every Chicago perfume making class we teach.
Write Your Scent Story
Guests write a scent story and structure their fragrance like a perfumer—learning evaluation, balance, and composition. This is the heart of our Chicago custom perfume workshop experience.
