A hands‑on perfume workshop for all ages
The Perfume Making 101 Workshop is an immersive, guided experience where guests learn the art and science of fragrance creation. Perfect for kids, teens, families, and private groups, this workshop blends education, creativity, and luxury into one unforgettable activity.
We bring everything to you — fragrance materials, bottles, blending tools, signage, and a trained instructor who leads your group step‑by‑step through the process of designing a custom scent.
A guided, three‑step fragrance creation experience
The workshop is designed to be fun, educational, and accessible for all ages. Guests learn real perfumery concepts while creating a scent that reflects their personality and preferences.
Learn the foundations
We begin with a simple introduction to perfumery — top, middle, and base notes, fragrance families, and how scents interact. Guests smell curated materials and learn how perfumers build structure and balance.
Explore & select materials
Guests explore a curated palette of fragrance materials chosen specifically for workshops. They choose their favorites, guided by our instructor, and begin building their personal blend.
Blend, bottle & label
Each guest blends their formula, bottles their custom perfume, and labels it with a name of their choice. They leave with a finished fragrance and a deeper understanding of scent creation.
