Recent reviews of Perfume Creation Workshop

  • 5/5 from Anja Madsen, attended May 2026: This was a birthday gift -- something a bit different from the usual drinks and dinner. Really excellent session: learned a lot and came away with our customised perfumes! Teacher was enthusiastic, helpful and informative. Atmosphere: inclusive and welcoming. No alcohol so bring your own drinks -- can buy from the supermarket next door and they'll open it and cool it and give you glasses.
  • 5/5 from Giovanni Paolini, attended Mar 2026: Great space and fantastic host. And extremely fun workshop!
  • 5/5 from Laura Donohoe, attended Mar 2026: Had such a great time!! Personalised, informative and creative - and my very own parfum! Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Mar 2026: This was a birthday present and it was the best gift ever. I’ve often been perplexed, overwhelmed and bewildered by the words used to describe scent and what does this mean for me? What do I like? This has given me the tools to explore more of the top, heart and base notes that I now know I like. I know how to read what perfumes in the market say and don’t feel intimidated. I am so so happy with the perfume I made and that I have the formula! Thanks Sona! 100% recommend. Definitely have dinner first.
  • 5/5 from Julia Konefal, attended Mar 2026: Great way to spend an evening. Tried a lot of different smells, learned a bit theory, and made our own perfume that exceeded my expectations.
  • 5/5 from Rachael Crook, attended Mar 2026: A really fantastic workshop… Our teacher was super knowledgeable and we learnt so much about how perfumes are made whilst having plenty of opportunity to have fun getting stuck into smelling so many interesting scents and creating our own signature perfumes. I loved the scent I eventually created. I would definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Stef Simpson, attended Mar 2026: I'm obsessed with perfume, so this experience really helped me understand what it is I’m actually drawn to. Sanne was brilliant at explaining how different fragrances are put together in a way that felt easy to follow and never too technical. We tried 26 scents altogether, including an extra one she brought out, and when I mentioned one of my personal favourites, she kindly added that in as well! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, but also warm, funny, and clearly passionate about what she does, which made the whole session even more enjoyable. I'm super happy with the fragrance I created. It was such a lovely experience and I will be back at the café (hopefully to sample some more Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups!) Thank you, Sanne, for making it so special :)
  • 5/5 from Herberto, attended Feb 2026: Teacher was great and explain well the different scents. She gave great tips on how to mix them to create a perfume that reflected my own ideas and story. Loved the main character analogy. Also the fact that it is in a floew shop is so cool, it gives a really great ambiance. Fantastic overall!
  • 5/5 from Rohan Tait, attended Feb 2026: Excellent and engaging. Would highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Leo Mahr, attended Feb 2026: Amazing class, with a knowledgeable teacher, in an amazing environment, located in a cute, small shop.
  • 5/5 from Derya Atlas, attended Nov 2025: “I love perfumes (especially niche ones) so I thought it was time to understand why I like what I like! Sonne was absolutely amazing in walking our group (who were all such lovely people!) through top, heart, and base notes before guiding us through more than 25 scents (pictured here). Sonne was patient, fun, and incredibly engaging throughout. I’m utterly pleased with my creation, and I can’t wait to visit the café when it is open during the day. Thank you so much, Sonne!
  • 5/5 from Tasha Brown, attended Mar 2024: The perfume workshop was amazing. Such a great vibe and came out with a scent I love and takes me away to somewhere tropical! Sanne is such a lovely soul too and so knowledgable!

Ivy and the Wolf started by Sanne, a plant-enthusiast from the Netherlands.
Starting as an online business in 2019, we opened our first brick and mortar store in the heart of Crystal Palace London during the pandemic.
We are an indoor plant shop and cafe with a large range of tropical plants, cacti and succulents, but also a large selection of interesting pots, homewares and accessories.
We have a particular love for unusual and unconventional plants so you will most likely find something you have never seen before!
Having previously worked as a workshop host, owner Sanne wanted to combine her plant-knowledge with her love for teaching, and that's how we started hosting workshops in the shop.
Sanne loves to share her knowledge and can answer pretty much any question you might have.
And besides all that, the workshops take place right in the middle of the shop and cafe with the best atmosphere!
Please check out our online reviews and feel free to pop by the shop in case you have any questions
