What to expect
You'll start with a brief introduction to how perfumers work with raw materials and composition. Your expert guide will walk you through the scent wheel, helping you identify notes you're drawn to—florals, citrus, woods, musk. Then comes the hands-on bit: you'll measure, mix and layer your chosen accords, testing each iteration on blotter paper until it feels right. Once you're happy, you'll decant your creation into a professional 30ml bottle to take away. Expect about 90 minutes of actual blending and testing, with breaks for questions and adjustments.
Good to know
Bring a notepad if you want to jot down your note combinations for future reference. The venue is wheelchair accessible with accessible public transport nearby. Larger bottle sizes (50ml, 100ml) are available for additional cost. You can also purchase spare 30ml bottles if you want to make multiples.
