Perfume creation workshop in Paris
You have no doubt dreamt of the day you would find your own personal fragrance. One that is exclusively you. The scents and smells that will remind you of fond memories, of people, places and things which seduced you. A scent uniquely “you”, one which will distinguish you from all others.
In our ”Studio des Fragrances”, you will become a Perfume creator.
Comfortably seated at your organ of 126 notes, you will discover the different base products and the techniques used to combine them harmoniously. With an interactive and entertaining approach , our team of experts trained by the “Nose” will explain to you the architecture of a good perfume, consisting of the “Top Note” (peak), Middle Note (heart note), and Base Note (fond note).
It is within this framework that you become capable of giving free rein to your imagination. You will now create your own unique fragrance, for woman, man or unisex. You will leave the workshop with a 100ml bottle personalized with your name or the name you have chosen for your new creation.
Your unique formula will be recorded in our confidential database for you to re-order at your convenience (in Parfum, Eau de Parfum, body cream, shower gel or scent diffuser).
All the necessary equipment is provided.
Included :
- Personalized Eau de Parfum, 100ml bottle (brown glass lab bottle, optional spray bottle on site)
- Diploma as a Student of Perfume
- Safekeeping of your formula in our confidential records.

Our experience was great. It was a ton of fun to explore all of the scents. I only have one regret. I was loving my perfume in the bottom and middle notes. At the very last minute the instructor suggested I use the “secret des parfumeurs” which is supposed to be a booster. It basically made all of my top notes smell like bug spray. So sadly, I have to wear the perfume for hours before it starts smelling good. If I were to do it again I would omit that entirely. Just a word of caution.

Dear Annette, thank you for you your review, we are glad you enjoyed the experience with us. Please note that if you wish to reorder your creation, you can request we leave this ingredient out, and also amend your formula to reflect this !

I booked this workshop in advance for a sesion on the morning of the 26th of May. I came by early and everything was set out nicely at the perfumer’s organ. The instructor was fantastic at giving guidance, help and also suggestions to formulate a creation that I had in mind. I would recommend newcomers to read up briefly on perfume families so as to have some idea beforehand of what they might like. The session was properly structured starting from base to top notes where you can put 4-6 scents for each. You can test the blend you have made with the paper strips and always put less and test before finalizing to the correct volume you initially planned. It is difficult to undo a mistake with fluids. Thankfully for 100 ml the math is very easy. You can add EURO 6 for the spray bottle and you get a certificate for this experience. Do take a photo of your formula if you want as it would not be shared with you once you leave the store. You can always reorder this scent in the future if you like it. I definitely enjoyed this tremendously and I promoted it to my friends who equally enjoyed the session. Highly recommended experience if you are in Paris. Not to mention it has the best deal for a 100 ml perfume bottle.
