  • We recommend wearing something comfortable, stylishly casual, and, most importantly, please come without any fragrance on. This ensures a clean slate and the purest possible experience for you and others in the class.

  • Absolutely! This is a wonderful experience to enjoy by yourself or to share with friends, family, or colleagues. Whether you’re on a solo creative journey or celebrating a special occasion with a group, we’re ready to welcome you.

  • Your unique formula is your personal signature. We keep a secure, permanent record of your creation in our database. To make reordering simple, each bottle comes with a QR code that directs you to our reorder page for effortless refills.

  • During the workshop, you will craft and experiment with up to three different perfume samples. From there, you will select your favorite to be bottled as your 10ml masterpiece.

  • This is a fun, immersive crash course in the art of perfumery. You’ll get to sniff an incredible variety of aromas, learning the secrets behind fragrance notes and how they come together. Our expert guide will walk you through crafting your own unique formula and creating samples to test on your skin. Once you’ve found "the one," we'll help you mix, bottle, and package your finished 10ml perfume.

  • We offer a diverse and extensive library of high-quality aromas from all major fragrance families, including floral, woody, citrus, fruity, gourmand, and musky. Our scents are carefully curated to be appreciated by all genders. Your finished perfume will be an Eau de Parfum (EDP) with a strength of 15-20%, made with a high-quality alcohol base.

  • The minimum age for participation is 12 years old. All participants between the ages of 12 and 17 must be accompanied by a participating adult. This policy is in place to ensure a focused and safe experience for everyone, and no exceptions can be made.

  • To ensure the best possible experience for our participants, our workshops are exclusively for paying guests. Our workspace is intimate and the class is designed to be a focused, hands-on experience for everyone involved.

  • To maintain the purity of the olfactory experience and prevent any contamination of our sensitive materials, we kindly ask that you only bring water into our workspace.

  • Our workshops are a deeply sensory experience that involves engaging with a variety of strong fragrances. If you have a sensitivity to perfumes or health issues triggered by scents, we recommend you skip this particular experience for your own well-being. We do not offer lighter, low-scent alternatives.

  • We understand that plans can change. You can reschedule your workshop, as a one-time courtesy, at no cost up to 48 hours before the scheduled start time by emailing us with your name and the new date/time you would like. If you need to reschedule with less than 48 hours’ notice or need to reschedule a second time, a $25 fee will be charged per person. Please note that missed workshops are considered "no-shows" and cannot be rescheduled; they must be rebooked at the full price.

  • This workshop is a perfect introduction to the fundamentals of perfumery and the creative process of fragrance-making. While it will provide you with a fascinating look behind the scenes, it is not a comprehensive curriculum for a professional career in perfumery.

  • Top Notes: The initial impression; light, volatile molecules that fade quickly. Approximately 15-30 minutes, ie. Citrus, Bergamot, Pink Pepper. Middle Notes: The heart of the fragrance; the main body of the scent.Approximately 2-4 hours, ie.Rose, Jasmine, Lavender, Neroli. Base Notes: The foundation; heavy molecules that linger for many hours. Up to 8 hours or more, ie. Vanilla, Sandalwood, Musk, Patchouli.

  • Unlike a mass-market fragrance, your bespoke scent is 100% custom-made for you, and the formula is kept in a secure database for your exclusive use. The cost also reflects the use of high-quality raw materials. Bespoke perfumes often utilize a higher percentage of natural ingredients, which can be more expensive than the synthetic molecules typically used in commercial fragrances.

  • There are 174,356,582,400 combinations available with the current scent library used in this class. It is implausible you would share the same tastes as someone else with that probability.
