Design a Bespoke Perfume Platinum Experience for Two

Fabulous creative experience
What a fantastic way to spend 2 hours learning about how to make perfume and then creating your own bespoke scent under the guidance of Philly & Mark. You also go home with an atomiser full of the scent you’ve developed, with the added bonus that you can re-order it in future and with the knowledge that nobody else will have this unique fragrance. Experience is held in a beautiful setting too! An amazing gift for the person who loves their fragrance and is something completely different!

What a wonderful day!
Great from start to finish. Rachel showed the method and followed by supporting each member of the group as we made our pieces. The studio is lovely, the support is wonderful (including little Tom!) A real positive introduction to throwing on the wheel! Would recommend!

Very happy experience!
Quite chuffed to come away with something vaguely resembling a pot! Very interesting and rewarding experience. Lovely teachers and gorgeous setting. Would go back.

Fantastic experience
This was a birthday gift for my husband, we both had a fun time being shown how to use a pottery wheel, how to form the clay, and make a pot, all was explained well, and the studio was very relaxed.
