What a cool experience to make a unique perfume for myself! If you are a perfume lover, you definitely try it. Marina is professional and the place is lovely too.
A lovely stress free fun couple of hours with Marina, making 3 different blends to get 1 that smells just right that you then get to take home, blended and bottled in the size and strength you prefer. Also Marina offers additional purchases if you like more than 1 mix and cant decide
This was a very interesting workshop and we left with a bottle of the scent we had created. So much was shared about what to think about when mixing the various aromas. Brautifully presented.
Even though I arrived late, Marina was so welcoming and still allowed me to take my time experimenting with and perfecting my three scents. She has a beautiful location and an equally beautiful, soulful spirit. Her passion for perfume oozes through every little piece of advice and every sniff of her carefully curated scents. It was an education too. I finally learned why some of my perfumes may not last as long as I'd like! I left with two gorgeous new fragrances, one complimentary and another extremely affordable, both in customisable bottles. Such a personal, creative and memorable experience. 💕
Loved this intimate and knowledge filled class! A lot of great direction and instruction along with own scent exploration.
Fun experience with our family, including 10-year-old twin girls. The location is a little awkward as it’s tucked away in a private apartment. You get to practice with making a few different styles of perfume and then pick one to take home with you. Instructor is knowledgeable. If you have some extra time to kill in, Paris could be worth it however, if you’re pressed for time I would skip it.
The perfumer gave us just enough background to get us started creating our signature scents. She worked with each one of us to refine our creations and hone in on the scent profile. While I don’t like the taste of bergamot, I do like it in a perfume. She helped me realize that taste and scent can be vastly different. I left with 2 vastly different perfumes and couldn’t be happier. Please consider adding this adventure to your Paris stay. It is well worth your investment of time and money
We had a fabulous time in our workshop. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. The session was informative and fun, and we were all super happy with how our perfumes worked out. Highly recommend.
Our family had an amazing experience with this perfume-making workshop, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, Marina made us feel welcome with her warm personality and genuine enthusiasm. Marina is incredibly knowledgeable about fragrances and did an excellent job explaining the different scent families, notes, and how they work together. She took the time to understand each person’s preferences instead of rushing us through the process. Her guidance helped every member of our family discover combinations we truly loved while still encouraging us to be creative and make something uniquely our own. What really stood out was how attentive and patient she was throughout the experience. She answered every question thoughtfully, offered personalized recommendations, and made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. Even those of us with no prior knowledge of perfumes felt confident creating a custom fragrance by the end. The workshop was well organized, relaxed, and interactive. We never felt hurried, and it was clear that Marina genuinely wanted each guest to leave with a scent they would enjoy wearing long after the trip. If you’re looking for a memorable, hands-on experience that’s different from the typical sightseeing activities, we highly recommend this workshop. Creating a fragrance that is uniquely yours is such a special souvenir to bring home, and Marina’s expertise and passion made the experience exceptional. We would absolutely do this again and recommend it to anyone visiting Paris!
