Recent reviews of Perfume Making Workshop: Create 3 Scents
5/5 from Shakil Ali, attended Oct 2026: Very relaxed and very enjoyable. Great way to spend a morning with my teen daughter. Nice to leave with something personal.
5/5 from Kerry Bower, attended Oct 2026: Absolutely loved our afternoon with Bruce! Excellent choice of oils to make a perfume spray, a solid perfume and a reed diffuser. Plenty of time given to choose and practice our blending of essential oils before clear instructions for how to achieve our finished products Loved that we could take them away at the end of the class, in a gorgeous gift bag where all the information is on plantable paper with British flower seeds! Thoroughly recommend this for a great afternoon
5/5 from Gabriela Stenclova, attended Sep 2026: Lovely workshop with a great teacher! Relaxing and fun experience set in a cozy studio. Starting with some tea, then you get to try a lot of different scents from which you decide what works for your own perfume. Great balance of guidance and freedom. Recommend for a cozy activity with friends :)
5/5 from Demi Viljoen, attended Sep 2026: Fantastic morning led by a knowledgeable tutor! Thanks Bruce!
5/5 from Rebecca Kelly, attended Sep 2026: Bruce was absoutley amazing! The class was so fun and as a surprise for my boyfriend, he really loved it too! Will be booking again
4/5 from Edward, attended Sep 2026: Was very enjoyable and relaxing time absolutely flew by mixing and tying different combinations.
5/5 from Hannah Mayo-Caligari, attended Aug 2026: The best class! I booked this for my brother as he has always wanted to make his own perfume and has a huge interest in perfumery. I found this class which I was really interested in as it’s founded on sustainability which is a) really important to me and b) my skin is really sensitive to a lot of ‘mainstream’ products. Bells met us at the door and she was so welcoming. She showed us upstairs and we entered a space that was absolutely stunning, warm and smelt incredible. Bells was so knowledgeable, kind and humble in her approach, and no question ever felt silly to ask. Bells is basically someone I would absolutely be friends with in my life and that’s what it felt like. Making stunning, luxury products with an extremely knowledgable friend. Chris loved the perfumery experience which is and we came away with a perfume spray, solid perfume and a diffuser. I loved every minute of our morning and I’ve now got a new hobby, and a new fragrance which I love and feels like me. Thank you SO much for everything and I cant wait to try some of your other classes. Love Hannah & Chris x
5/5 from Sebastian Bird, attended Aug 2026: Wonderful class, very informative and very fun. We are so so happy with how our scents have developed since the class and can't stop smelling them. Will definitely be returning in the future as a gift for other family + friends. Thank you :)

Overall positive experience and my friend and I are already planning on selecting another session for the future.

Bruce was always on hand to guide us, offering helpful suggestions while still encouraging creativity and personal expression.

5/5 from Annie Wilson, attended Feb 2026: I attended with my daughter who bought this as a Christmas gift. We had no idea what to expect but we’re greeted with a smile and a cup of tea.

5/5 from Blessy Mariyam Babu, attended Feb 2026: Amazing class! Husband and I really had a lovely time. So many essential oils to choose from. The class was a decent size (10 of us) and the pace was also great. Our facilitator, Bruce was also amazing. He was knowledgeable and patient. He gave us the information and allowed us to freedom to choose blends we genuinely liked. He also provided a few Valentine’s Day scents to pick from to mix by ourselves if we wanted to/ was confused. Plenty of oils to share amongst the group aswell. And finally we got cute bags with some seeded paper and all the information about the class and how to blend oils so that we can do it at home ourselves. Honestly nothing to fault. Book the class, you won’t regret it :)
