Olfactory Escape Workshop

Whenever you’re in Paris, you shouldn’t come back without a perfume - so we decided to create our own at Le Studio des Parfums. The 4-hour masterclass with Patrice was such a fun and memorable experience. We learned a lot about perfumes, ingredients and fragrance creation, with plenty of interesting stories along the way. Patrice is incredibly passionate, and it really makes the experience special. And definitely add Patrice’s own champagne to the masterclass - it’s worth it. A must-do experience in Paris, and one we’d happily come back for.

We organized our daughter's 15th birthday with her friends. The Studio of Perfumes privatized a room for the group. Each girl was able to create her own perfume and distribute it with her fragrance in a spray bottle. Thanks to the perfumer Eireen who guided the group with patience and professionalism. Our daughter and her friends were delighted ... and we were too. I highly recommend it.

Superb experience as a couple. The advice and support of Fahkri were perfect!! I recommend

excellent I recommend 100% it allows to make an original gift because you leave both with a good experience and in addition to your personalized bottle, a big thank you to Lily for her professionalism and friendliness

My mother and I attended this class during our trip to Paris. Though the reviews were positive, and there was nothing wrong with the venue etc, I just didn't feel that the amount charged was worth the experience. We were brought into a room and all seated and given a box with scents and a card. We were told to choose a certain number of scents (different notes) and measure the designated amounts and pour them all into a bottle and that was your scent. There was no explanation as to what I was doing, or what would be good scents to put together. Basically a hodge podge of mixing scents. And that was "scent" to take home as a souvenir. I would have appreciated some history of scent making in France, or even a little explanation of what I was doing. It seemed very crammed in for an hour time frame. They really need to restructure this class and maybe extend it to 1.5 hours to make it really personable. Looking back, I probably would have not spent all that $ for this class.

What a joke! After booking this experience through TripAdvisor experiences, we arrived only to be told that they did not have our booking. After many phone calls, having provided our reservation number which guarantees their payment and being totally ignored by the desk clerk, she miraculously found our booking but insisted we change to a more expensive experience (50 euro) that also takes an additional hour. Her reasoning was that there was another group who would have the majority of the fragrances but we could have a small sampling and keep our time. She then led us into a closet with a table and chairs, moved all of the testing fragrances out of the way and brought in a very small box. Put it on the table and walked out. We also had to ask for programs in English after she provided one in English and one in French. After several minutes we walked back to the front and requested a refund which she said was impossible. She never smiled. She never apologized for the mixup and when we asked to speak to the owner, she barked that he was too busy. She finally got him on the phone and he refused to refund our money and hung up on us. She then called a manager after our insistence who was equally unhelpful. We left with no promise of a refund and filed a complaint with TripAdvisor. After traveling the globe and booking TripAdvisor experiences and having truly wonderful experiences we would rate this a zero if it were possible. Total scam!!!

Unfortunately we did not have the great experience others did here. Although I believed the event was limited to 6 or 8 guests, there were 16 in our group. We were all in one small windowless room so it was difficult for me to really smell all the fragrances to make my decisions. The lovely host had 13 French speaking people in attendance so her attention had to be on them. I had requested from the start some direction that she didn’t have time to give me, and when it was time for her to create my formula she did it in literally 10 seconds since I was second to last to be assisted and we were already over time. She could see I didn’t like my perfume result so she added some more to it to try and fix it. I am sure in a smaller group this would have been a fantastic experience - hopefully if you choose to do it you will be so lucky to not go on a busy day!

Patrice the owner was FABULOUS!! I accidently read the time wrong and he was kind enough to allow us to return the next day. They even upgraded us!! We had done another tour last year in Paris at different company- this was WAY better!!! They did not rush us through they took their time to explain the process and even allowed us to tweak it a little. My daughter was VERY pleased and so was I. Thank you so much Patrice you REALLY made our Paris time memorable 💖 💕

Very informative and accommodating. The staff were great and welcoming. They really appreciated our business. We would go again and again!

My husband, eleven year old son, and I went here. We LOVED IT! Our eleven year said it was one of his favorite things we did on vacation. We had Luna, who was so lovely, helping, and knowledgeable. The three of us all made our own scents and got to keep them. My husband, son, and I can not recommend this enough.
