Event Overview

Ready to create your own perfume or cologne? In this interactive experience, you will explore a scent bar choosing notes that you like with the expert perfumer demonstrating on tester strips combinations based on smells you like. Once you choose your favorite blend our resident perfumer will formulate it and fill an elegant perfume or cologne atomizer of your choice and put it in a fun gift bag for you to take home!

This is more of an "interactive experience" than a "class" but we still guarantee you will go home knowing a plethora about how fine fragrances are conceived and made.

I really loved the experience and the place
And my end product smells fabulous
But I hoped if it was more information on how to formulate a Cologne and what smells goes together!

Booked this as a date activity, and had a great time! We had a lot of fun smelling the different scents and figuring out our favorites. The blended scent options we were presented with were all wonderful, and it was hard to choose just one to take home.

We each left with a full bottle of our personal fragrances, which was a great value for the price of the experience!

We had so much fun making our own scents. This place has been here since the 90s and has a rich history. We did this as a date night. We're not normally perfume wearers so my partner was skeptical but she got really into it and now we have scents that we lovee to put on.

We had such a great experience!! My friend and I attended this class (my bday gift to her). At the start, you smell dozens of different scents and select the scents you like. Then you give your preferences to a Perfumer, and they mix different scents to find a fragrance for you. You even get to name your scent at the end. HIGHLY recommend!

This was a delightful overall experience. Since it was midday on a weekday, I was the only participant and got the full attention of the teacher. That said, since much of this experience involves smelling different base scents and determining which ones you like, I was also allowed plenty of time to simply do that part on my own. The atmosphere was friendly, not at all pushy, and I left with a custom bottle of perfume I think I'll quite enjoy wearing. I recommend it!

This was the first time doing something like this and I loved it. I loved the price for what I got and the two workers were so kind and helpful.
