Create Your Own Perfume Workshop in Paris 16e

Overview

This perfume making workshop in Paris is a two-hour introduction to the perfumer's craft, run by a professional perfumer in a studio in the 16th arrondissement. You do not need any previous knowledge.

What you'll make

A personal perfume that you compose yourself. You leave with three 5 ml perfumes and one 50 ml bottle with a spray, and you keep your formulas so the perfume can be reordered later.

How the session runs

You’ll start by learning a few fundamentals of perfumery, including what "notes" and "chords" are, like in music. Your perfumer will then explain her method and ask you a few questions to understand what you’d like your fragrance to smell like. Using a perfume organ stocked with around sixty raw materials, you’ll select the "notes" that will make up your fragrance, including rose, blackcurrant, vanilla and many others.

Beginners, friends, couples and gift-givers. A voucher valid for one year can be bought without choosing a date.

Private & team bookings

The studio also runs shorter group events for companies and parties.
