Amazingly unique!

Everything was amazing! Experience was very unique and the teachers were very knowledgeable. I got my very own unique perfume! I would love to do it again but with new and more unique fragances. Location was really beautiful and cozy.

A scent that lingers – and a great experience to go with it

The Perfume Master Class was a wonderful experience. After an interesting introduction to the world of perfume making, one could create their very own perfume from 18 different fragrance notes. The expert advice from the perfumers was very helpful and particularly enriched the workshop. Another plus point: The self-created perfume can be taken home immediately and can be reordered later at any time based on the stored recipe. Overall, a very successful event, highly recommended without reservation.

Not a 2 hour excursion, 20 minutes

Very sweet people. 15-30 min excursion at most. They give you a tray of oils, you smell them on your own, pick your favorites, mix them together, pour in the anlcohol, and done. Could take 15 min. I would have loved more history, more experience, more stories, anything interesting!!! Lovely people but it was “smell the oils, pick your favorites, and done.” Not a 2 hour excursion AT ALL and if you are well versed in mixing essential oils with alcohol, skip this. Lovely people, just not with the money and is 30 min at most.

Great workshop!

This was definitely a highlight. We learned the history of perfume and then made our own take-home perfume. The host were fun and informative. I highly recommend making your own personalized scent as opposed to buying when in Florence.

Very interesting, but...

Very interesting, but people who are sensitive to scents should be aware as it can become quite intense. Overall a good and informative event.

Lovely experience with a treasured scent to take home

My family had the best time curating our fragrances and learning about the scents and the process. The staff was friendly and welcoming and we will think of them and our experience here every time we wear our fragrances.

A beginners class

I believe most fellow classmates liked, for me it was more elementary that I’d hoped for.
