This was a fun experience and we would do it again. Tania knew her craft well, and helped us to create a wonderful smelling scent we were able to take with us. The venue was classy, and the experience was great!

Great experience overall! Very welcoming and informative. The instructor was funny and helpful . Highly recommend..
I booked this for my 20 year old daughter and myself. We debated between a baking workshop adn this. I am personally not a big fan of perfume but knew she would love it. Well! I have been converted! This experience was fantastic! I was sure that my asthma would kick in once the fumes of perfume were released but I was absolutely fine! Samantha was so friendly and fun. We learned so much about the the art and science of scent! We loved making our own perfume and customizing it to our own tastes. Amongst the stone walls of the basement, atmosphere was very aesthetic. And the discount on store purchases was an added bonus! I would highly reccomend this experience!
Lovely experience all-around. Didn’t feel rushed at all and our instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping to perfect our scents. The journey of trying each of the ingredients before making your decision was both creative and informative. You do get a discount at the end of the class to use in the store which is very nice, and they were not pushy at all in trying to sell any of their products. They also keep your formula on file so you can reorder whenever you want. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone!
This was so much fun! Our favorite souvenir by far and our teacher was delightful!! We had a blast and would do it again in a heartbeat!!
This experience was a wonderful addition to our Paris trip. It was in both English and French, so we had the full benefit from the instruction. Our guide was extremely helpful in walking us through scent selection and customizing our formula at the end to make sure that the notes we loved the most shine the brightest. My husband also really enjoyed making his cologne. Would highly recommend this experience for any travelers that enjoy hands-on activities and perfumes and colognes.
We had such an amazing time creating our own personal high quality scents. I mean the way Samantha took her time with us and ensured we matched the right notes for us was top tier. I also LOVED that we have our certificates and travel ready bottle of personalized fragrance. Was a great couples activity!
My 18-year-old daughter, 14-year-old son, and I participated in the Classic 1-Hour Perfume Workshop, and it was one of our favorite experiences in Paris. Tanya was wonderful. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to help each of us adjust and refine our fragrances until they were exactly right. What I loved most was that the experience appealed to all three of us. It wasn’t overly feminine or “girly” at all. My son, who enjoys cologne, had a great time creating his own signature scent, while my daughter and I each created something completely different. The workshop was fun, interactive, and a nice break from traditional sightseeing. We learned about fragrance notes, created custom scents that reflected our personalities, and left with our own bottles, a certificate with our formulas, and the ability to reorder them in the future. If you’re visiting Paris with teens or looking for a unique family experience, I highly recommend it. We left with more than a souvenir. We left with a memory we’ll think about every time we wear our fragrances.
This was the most wonderful experience. My daughter and I absolutely loved it. I would do this again and again!!!
Fantastic way to learn about fragrance. Our guide was super and the group was so fun. Highly recommend.
Space was beautiful and the staff was amazing! The entire experience was exciting and unforgettable.
This class was so fun! Samantha was knowledgeable and helpful. There were over 90 scents available for us to choose from to create our own signature scent.
This was a great way to learn about perfume. The downstairs room was so beautiful and the instructor was patient and explained things well. They store your perfume so you can re-purchase your signature scent again! You also get 20% off in the shop when you do this experience so I ended up with more perfume.
What a wonderful and educational experience learning about scents, smelling all of the notes and then selecting scents for our custom perfume. It was a terrific and fun experience - and we each took home a 50ml bottle of our custom blended perfume. They keep the blend on file for reorders as well! Highly recommend!
This was so fun! As a perfume-lover, this workshop taught me so much about what goes into making it. I loved being able to experiment while creating my own scent and our instructor was very patient and knowledgeable.
We had so much fun making our own perfumes. The explanation of the different elements, top, heart and base notes, has deepened my appreciation of different perfumes. Our guide also helped us decide which notes to include. We met wonderful people in a beautiful space. So much fun. Highly recommend.
Incredible experience and the highlight of our trip to Paris. I traveled with my 10 year old daughter and this was the perfect activity. She loved the science behind it and the fact that she can customize her own fragrance. The location is gorgeous, the product is high quality and the team was beyond fabulous in helping us both. I would book this 10x over!
Samantha is amazingly and the experience was so much fun. My scent was intoxicating and I cannot wait to wear it!
Had a great time. The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. He answered questions that were asked, he also helped were needed. I would highly recommend this class to my family and friends that will be visiting Paris.
This was the first time doing anything like this and it was one of the best experiences we did , making our own fragrances. Our guide was amazing and our group of 6 was so much fun . We even sampled each other’s scents. I’d highly recommend this to anyone. My husband was not sure about doing this when I booked it but he was so glad I did
A great experience! we wanted to prepare a fragrance for our wedding and we left with 2 bespoke fragrances perfected by the perfume expert!
This was such a fun experience - the hosts are really knowledgeable one what notes compliment each other. It’s a fun learning experience for anyone who’s into fragrances, would recommend.
Samantha was absolutely amazing! She was so kind and helpful. And the studio is absolutely beautiful! I would call this a “must do” for anyone coming to Paris.
So unique, so French, great for couples. Done twice now, highly recommend. Your host is so helpful and it's a treat for the senses.
