Make Your Own Perfume

What makes a perfume smell expensive? Why do some scents disappear in minutes while others linger all day? And what happens when you mix something floral, woody, smoky, or sweet? Join us for an intimate, hands-on perfume making workshop where we’ll explore the art and science of scent, then experiment with creating a fragrance that's entirely your own. No perfume knowledge (or chemistry!) needed. Come curious, experiment, and meet some new people along the way. You're very welcome to come solo. What We'll Do Learn the Science of ScentDiscover what makes perfumes tick: fragrance notes, top/heart/base structure, why some scents last longer than others, and what makes certain combinations work. Explore a Palette of FragrancesSmell your way through a curated collection of citrus, floral, fruity, woody, musky, gourmand, and more unusual notes. Find out what you're drawn to. Design Your PerfumeChoose a direction and start experimenting. Maybe you're making something warm and woody, bright and fresh, dark and smoky (or something we don't have a name for yet). Blend, Test & IterateMix a first version, smell how the notes interact, compare creations with other guests, and tweak your formula until it feels like yours. Bottle Your CreationGive your fragrance a name, bottle your final formula, and take it home with you!
