What you'll do:

You'll spend around two hours blending your own perfume from scratch, guided step by step through the same process professional perfumers use.

• Explore over 24 fragrance oils - smell through a curated selection of top, middle, and base notes to understand how each layer behaves.

• Build your formula - work with your host to mix and balance scents until the combination feels right to you.

• Adjust and refine - tweak the ratios until your blend holds together as a complete fragrance, not just a mix of nice smells.

• Bottle and label your perfume - pour your finished formula into a glass bottle to take home, ready to wear.

It's part class, part creative session, and the pace stays relaxed enough that the conversation flows throughout. You leave with something genuinely personal, made entirely by you.

Why we love it for your party:

• Hands-on from start to finish - every guest is blending, not just watching, which keeps the energy up for the whole group.

• 24+ premium fragrance oils - enough variety that no two guests end up with the same scent.

• Take-home bottled perfume - your finished fragrance is bottled, labeled, and ready to wear before you leave.

• Private group bookings available - custom time slots and themes mean it fits your schedule and your occasion.

• No experience needed - the host walks everyone through the process, so it works even if nobody in the group knows perfumery.
