Great afternoon
Great afternoon learning how perfumes are categorised and layered. A true sensory overload and an opportunity to learn and be creative. Thanks to the team for a well run session.

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!

5 Star Experience
I had a wonderful perfume-making experience this weekend! From start to finish, it was engaging, creative, and so much fun. The host was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through the process in a way that was easy to understand. There was a fantastic selection of scents to work with, and I loved learning how different notes come together to create a truly personal fragrance. I left with a perfume that feels completely unique and “me,” plus a new appreciation for the art of perfumery. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something different and memorable.
