Construction: You will mix and bottle your 10ml perfume based on your favorite trial and take your bottle home with you.
Is this workshop suitable for men?
Yes! Perfume can be made by anyone regardless of gender.
The Fragrance Masterclass that I want to book is sold out or unavailable.
We keep our class size small in order to give our guests individual attention and a more personalized experience. Our calendar is always up-to-date and it accurately reflects our workshop availability.
What is the minimum age for participation?
Participants must be at least 12 years old. All participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a participating adult.
While making a signature perfume is a lot of fun, there are some technical aspects involved and it is too complex for children under the age of 12. We do not make exceptions to our minimum age requirement.
I would like to book the Fragrance Masterclass for my private event or party.
If you have a group of 12 or fewer, you can book a private event at our workspace. Our workshops cannot accommodate groups larger than 12 at this time.
The cost of a private experience is $780 and you may include up to twelve participants in total (including the booker).
To book a private experience, you can either select a workshop that has 12 spots remaining and book all 12 spots. This will automatically make the workshop private as there will be no remaining spots for anyone else to book.
If you would like a date and time that is not listed on the calendar, send us an email with the date and time and we will setup the date for you.
While we are happy to be included in any special celebrations, we do not allow the installation of decorations and food/drinks are not permitted.
Each participant is entitled to one bottle of perfume each. Keep in mind that if you book for 12 participants and only 10 people show up, your group will receive a total of 10 bottles of perfume as bottles cannot be made for participants who are not physically present, nor can they be transferred to another participant.
What if I am allergic to or sensitive to perfume?
The intent behind making a perfume is to explore and engage deeply with fragrance, so if fragrance is a trigger for any health issues, you would not be a suitable candidate for participation and we would advise you to sit this one out. We do not cater towards sensitivities or make light fragrances.
Where do we park?
All parking is either street parking or garage parking. There is no dedicated lot for customer parking. More information about parking at a specific workshop location can be found on that location's workshop page.
How do I reschedule my workshop?
Your workshop can be rescheduled, as a one-time courtesy, at no cost up to 48 hours before it’s scheduled start time. If it is less than 48 hours before the start of the workshop, it cannot be rescheduled.
The link to reschedule is located at the bottom of the booking confirmation email. Last-minute reservations that are made when a workshop is less than 48 hours do not qualify for a free reschedule.
Can we bring food and drinks to the workshop?
To avoid contamination issues, food and drinks are not permitted in our workspace.
What kind of aromas will be offered?
We offer aromas from many different fragrance families, such as the floral, woody, citrus, fruity, gourmand, spicy, amber, herbal/mint, green, tobacco-leather, marine-ozone and musky-animalic families. The aromas we provide are appreciated by all genders. Your finished perfume formula will be an EDP (eau de parfum) strength. All of our perfumes contain alcohol.
I'm interested in learning perfumery or creating my own line of fragrances.
While we do share information about the aromas used in the workshop, the information is not comprehensive enough to satisfy the curriculum you would need to pursue a career in perfumery.
We instruct in a workshop format only, which means every customer must create their own perfume. Our workshop would be a great experience to help you discover the types of notes that you prefer before finding a supplier to help you create your professional line of fragrances.
What if I create a perfume in the Fragrance Masterclass and I want to order multiple bottles for the purpose of resale?
We don't offer wholesale or volume pricing, nor do we permit the resale of perfume that displays our branding.
Can I order the aromas used to make the perfume in Fragrance Masterclass?
Our aromas are custom made and are exclusively available for use during the workshop. We do not sell the individual aromas. A lot of effort has gone into creating beautiful formulations for our classes and we do not share proprietary information regarding our suppliers or formulas.
Can I just tell you what I like and order a custom perfume without attending the Fragrance Masterclass in-person?
We do not offer this service.
