Perfume Making Courses and Classes UK

Have you ever been transported to another time and place by a familiar smell? Sometimes known as the Proust phenomenon, it’s thought our sense of smell is intimately linked to our memory. When you create your own perfume, that means you’re not just making a beautiful beauty product – you’re also making memories that are sure to last you a lifetime.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a perfume connoisseur who knows your patchouli from your ylang-ylang or a complete beginner. When you book a perfume making workshop with ClassBento, you’re joining a welcoming environment where no previous experience is required and no question is too silly to ask.

Perfect for unique hen parties in Harlow, romantic dates in Reading or mother-daughter days in Manchester, it’s the ideal way to indulge your senses and learn more about the ancient art of creating perfume. With guidance from our skilled perfume making teachers, you’ll soon know your base notes from your top notes, transforming your ability to ‘read’ the scents on your dressing table at home.

Freshen up your free time with a UK-based perfume workshop for beginners. With a huge variety of dates, times and locations on offer, you’re bound to find the right workshop for you. Treat a teen, plan a cologne making class for the man in your life or add something creative to your list of classy hen party ideas.

During your chosen perfume making experience, your passionate teacher will guide you through some of the most popular perfume notes before showing you how to make your own scent. You’ll be provided with all the necessary ingredients for making perfume, so all you’ll need to bring is your nose!

From a natural perfumery course where you’ll perfect the art of making perfume from flowers, to a class that will teach you how to make solid perfume, we have a variety of workshops to choose from. Whichever you pick, you’ll come away with a bespoke fragrance that beautifully enhances your natural scent. It’s an experience that’s bound to have you come up smelling of roses – or bergamot, orange blossom, vanilla, musk…

A bespoke perfume making experience might sound pricey, but we've got a range of classes to suit different budgets – after all, we think everyone should be able to join in with the sweet-smelling fun! From introductory reed diffuser courses at £30, right up to a bespoke scent blending workshop at £75, there's something for every price point.

Also, not only will you have your very own bottle of handmade fragrance by the end of your perfume workshop – you’ll also have a new set of skills and a sense of relaxation. That’s because this artisan course is also a form of aromatherapy – the practice of boosting your wellbeing by sampling different smells.

Natural oils for perfume making, such as vanilla, bergamot, lavender and lime, are all commonly used to soothe stress. Believed to reduce anxiety and promote peaceful sleep, these smells are a great way to bask in the natural world and can even aid meditation.

After a session with your personal perfumer, you’ll feel relaxed, renewed and ready for anything. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, bachelorette or ‘just because', a perfume workshop is an indulgent experience that gives you the perfect keepsake to remember your day.
