A very unique momento that, with guidance, you create and get to keep as a reminder of your fabulous trip to Florence. I highly recommend you add this masterclass if you have time.
Fantastic experience! So fun being able to make your own scent that you are able to take back home. The girls helped so much with different pairings of the different fragrances as well as the history behind perfume. You can even order the perfume again and have it sent to your home when you have finished your bottle. Would do 100 times again!
Learned a little bit of history which was interesting. Our host was really patient and put together our fragrances really quickly once we’d picked which notes we liked. Small group dynamic worked well and they couldn’t have been more helpful in the shop when I wanted to buy something afterwards.
The tour was a perfect mix of knowledge and active learning. Everyone in our family had an amazing time from 13-50. And we got to walk away with the perfect souvenir. Highly recommend.
What a unique idea and experience this was! I like that it wasn't an all-day class, but it still packed enough information to feel legitimate. It was well-priced, ran at a good pace, and the instructors were very pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend taking this class and look forward to using my new fragrance soon!
Absolutely amazing experience spent with family! Everybody loved it! Thank you
I've experienced a lot of attractions on my tour around Italy, but this was by far my ultimate favorite magical experience in Florence. Best of top 3. The host was knowledgeable, the perfume god was epic ( perfume specialist), and the shop itself was so magical. If this was local where I'm from, I would be a forever continuous customer. The steps was easy if you follow along, I found a unique mixed exactly what I was looking for, and even allowed the host to add a little touch to my forever perfume. Yooooooooo, because I received my ingredients and certification I'm able to bring my fragrance back home with me 🤗 Geeked... Definitely highly recommend seeing this unfold for yourself. Thanks again to these incredible women 🫶🏼
We had so much fun. They had a table set up just for our family. We loved picking out the scents. With such a variety of scent combinations, everyone’s fragrances turned out so different, yet they all smelled fantastic. The staff was very knowledgeable and kind. I loved learning about the process of perfume creation. Definitely a highlight of our Florence Trip!
My wife and I had a fantastic time at Antica Spezieria Erboristeria San Simone. With a relaxed fun atmosphere created by the Perfumers, the class was an oasis in the middle of what can be a hectic city centre. Our hosts explained the art of perfumery and gave us advice when needed without influencing our own personal preference, it was fantastic, possibly my favourite experience in Florence. I highly recommend the class for anyone who enjoys fragrance.
