We'll introduce you to the wonderful world of perfumery and explore why fragrance matters in our everyday lives. You'll then discover our exclusive range of aromatic blends, taking time to sample and savour each one.
Next comes the fun part - it's your turn to expertly blend your own signature scent! Whether you're drawn to summery florals, fruity and flirty fragrances, or something completely unique, the choice is entirely yours. We'll guide you every step of the way as you create your perfect perfume to take home.

This class is approximately 1 hour. The exact duration depends on how quickly you select your fragrances and complete your blends, as well as group size. We appreciate your understanding!

Recent reviews of Perfumery Workshop

  • 5/5 from Cannelle Roumanie, attended Aug 2026: It was very easy to book with my gift card. My friend and I had a great time. We were sat with lovely people and make our perfumes together. Staff kept on coming to check in and help us figure out how to pair smells and how to consider what would be the notes. The perfume lasts all day when worn.
  • 5/5 from Manon Fauconnet, attended Aug 2026: Fun workshop, lovely team, very happy with the perfume I made
  • 4/5 from Imogen Fisk, attended Jul 2026: Quite small and casual, a nice atmosphere.
  • 4/5 from Taryn Field, attended Jul 2026: Very sweet little workshop. I liked that it was an hour, the tutors were helpful and friendly. You obviously don't learn too much about scent but it was very practical, and left with a customised scent which was great. The chairs were a bit unsteady so did feel like I was going to break the chair (I'm a slim adult). Besides that I would recommend it.
  • 5/5 from Marcus Julian Ford, attended Jun 2026: This is very relaxed and easy to pick up. I'd say it's a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys experiences. Great setting, lovely informative staff who are accommodating, and a good selection of smells to make. It's definitely unisex fragrances you can make too, so don't fret gents you can make a cologne if you fancy. Thanks guys, all the best!
  • 5/5 from Matilda Pursey, attended Apr 2026: We came for the perfumery workshop today and we all had the best time! So many scents to choose from and the studio was really lovely we will defo be coming back!
  • 5/5 from Hayley Danks, attended Mar 2026: This was a Mother’s Day gift. Myself and my Mum had a great time. Loved the different scents, and the teacher was friendly and gave clear instructions. We both liked that we were left to explore the scents, without any pressure. We were given after care advice and the best way to help choose our final fragrance. The size of the bottle you’re given is great, so you won’t be running out any time soon. Only criticisms would be, possibly having more variety with the scents, especially more male specific, and the workshop being longer than an hour, as we didn’t want to leave!
  • 5/5 from Gabriella Catrisano, attended Jan 2026: Wonderful experience. All in all took about an hour. The teacher was lovely and informative and helped us if we needed it. Lots of variety of scents to create your signature perfume.
  • 5/5 from Victoria Jephthah, attended Oct 2025: It was such a fun experience, I truly enjoyed my time there. Everyone was cheerful and friendly, and the atmosphere was calm with soft music playing in the background. It was definitely worth the time, and I’ll be booking more classes. My perfume turned out beautifully, it smells amazing and lasts a long time!
  • 5/5 from Maggie Jochimsen, attended Oct 2025: Lots of fun in a lovely setting
  • 5/5 from Sameera Dhanji, attended Aug 2025: Lovely experience, really helpful staff, wonderful activity to do with friends!
  • 5/5 from Morgana Aiyer, attended Jun 2025: Great mini class into perfumery where you get to create your own perfume. The teacher was super friendly and helped to hone in on the fragrance.
  • 5/5 from Danielle Peare, attended Mar 2025: 9 of us had a lovely time at the weekend taking part in the work shop. The teacher was funny, encouraging and knew his stuff! He was very welcoming and it was a lovely, relaxed afternoon. We couldn't believe how quickly the time went! It was interesting finding your own personal scent and experimenting with different smells, discovering what worked well together. Some of the group had hoped for more earthy/ woody scents but it didn't take away from the enjoyment of the class.
  • 5/5 from Coral Jade Dickson, attended Oct 2024: I was bought this experience for my birthday and we were not disappointed. The teacher was amazing and very knowledgeable. He also helped us fix our blend when my friend accidentally picked up the wrong scent - disaster averted. The venue is really cute & intimate as only 7 students in a class. We learn lots about scent notes by smelling & mixing our own perfume. Class was good value for money and we got to take home our homemade perfume. I really liked the small class size. Would book again
  • 5/5 from Rachael Blackburn, attended Oct 2024: We arranged this as a gift for my best friend for her birthday. It was great, unfortunately we where late and the gentleman was so kind and calm regardless. He gave usefully information and was continuously interacting with us to help and suggest different combinations or slightly smaller amounts.to compliment the fragrances. The room was beautiful well lit and nicely decorated which gave it a very warm comfortable feeling.
  • 5/5 from Clare Hall, attended Feb 2024: Birthday perfumery course for 3 generations. It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. So nice to find something that all ages can do together. Will and Phoebe are lovely creating a nice relaxed atmosphere. Thankyou, I’m sure we will coming back for another course.
  • 3/5 from Lisa, attended Feb 2024: I felt it wasn’t a very personal experience, wasn’t a huge amount of fragrances, and was kind of left to just smell the oils no information was given for top middle and bottom notes, we had to take our time smelling the fragrances or we would of been in and out in 10 min. We’ve had better perfume experiences. It was for my 2 daughter they were happy with there bottles, but the whole experience definitely isn’t worth the money it’s something you could of done at home I have it a 3 star as the bottle size was decent
