Ever wondered how your favourite perfume is created? This perfume making experience gives you the chance to step into the fascinating world of fragrance and design a scent that’s completely your own.
During this 2-hour perfume making experience, you’ll be guided by a trained perfume stylist who will introduce you to the art of perfumery. Discover how fragrances are carefully balanced using top, middle and base notes, and learn how different scent families combine to create unique and memorable perfumes.
Your session begins with a personalised perfume consultation, where you’ll explore a wide collection of expertly blended fragrances. From fresh and citrusy to rich, floral or warm and woody scents, you’ll sample a variety of notes and learn how professional perfumers build complex fragrances.
With expert guidance, you’ll then begin blending your own bespoke perfume. Experiment with different combinations until you find a fragrance that perfectly suits your personality and style. Whether you prefer something light and uplifting, deep and sophisticated or beautifully floral, you'll craft a scent that is entirely personal to you.
Once your signature blend is complete, you’ll name your fragrance and have it professionally bottled in a stylish atomiser to take home. Depending on the option chosen, you’ll receive either the Gold Experience with a 5ml perfume or the Platinum Experience with a 20ml perfume. Your personalised fragrance name will also appear on the packaging, creating a wonderful keepsake.
One of the unique aspects of this perfume making experience is that your fragrance formula is recorded, allowing you to reorder your bespoke scent again in the future or even gift it to friends and family.
Available nationwide and suitable for individuals, couples or groups, this experience is perfect for birthdays, celebrations or a creative day out with friends. Private sessions can also be arranged for groups of 10 or more.
For an extra touch of luxury, you also have the option to add on and enjoy a delicious afternoon tea, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available.
Perfect for sharing with loved ones, this perfume making experience offers a memorable blend of creativity, luxury and personal expression, leaving you with a fragrance that is uniquely yours.
The majority of the fragrance materials are vegan-friendly with one exception, Fruity, as this contains beeswax. If this blend is avoided in the creation process, your fragrance can be completely vegan friendly.
None of the ingredients, component parts that we or our suppliers use have been tested on animals.

I got gifted a Perfume Making Experience and it was a lot of fun. The team was welcoming and engaging, and I'm super happy with the fragrance I ended up choosing!
Great idea, but it can be developed further. Firstly, organisers asked to arrive 15 mins prior to the booking and made everyone wait for 15 mins in the uncomfortable hallway, which doesn't give a good first impression of all the experience. Secondly, the speaker gave verbal presentation of each smell. But I have better visual memory, so it would be good to see what each smell represents. Otherwise, the host and assistance were very pleasant, and the experience was amazing.
It was the most unforgettable experience I have ever done.
Fun, exciting and memorable
Would highly recommend.
I brought the experience as a 21st birthday present for my daughter and we both enjoyed it. Loved the perfumes we made and the ladies were friendly and very knowledgeable.
Never thought you could have a go at creating your own fragrance, what a great idea! Was really interesting learning about fragrance and the different notes, makes you think differently about perfume once you know how it's made. Would highly recommend.
Love my fragrance, can't believe i made it myself!
Was a present for my mum, was such a lovely day and we both loved creating our own fragrances.
