Before you go
Book a date, keep the mobile ticket on your phone and note the start time shown for your day. There is nothing to print.
At the door
Be early. The workshop is cancelled if you are more than ten minutes late, and the group starts together.
The expert’s opening
The first minutes cover how a fragrance is built, so listen for the three layers, because you will be choosing for each of them.
The choosing
With ninety essences on offer, decide by family first: floral, fresh, woody, warm. Narrowing early leaves time to adjust.
The blending
Small changes in proportion shift a scent more than a new ingredient does.
The end
The 50 ml bottle and the numbered certificate go with you. Perfume from the boutique costs 20% less on the day, and it is billed separately.
