THE PROCESS

A practical perfume mixology masterclass

Under the direction of an expert perfume stylist you'll examine top, middle and base notes, combine favourites and hand‑blend a bespoke fragrance that is then bottled, named and registered for future reorders.

THE EXPERIENCE

A sensory welcome and optional extras

Sessions begin with a welcome drink — bubbly, juice or a soft drink — and selected packages (Gold, Platinum, Diamond) offer a glass of bubbly and the option of afternoon tea for a more indulgent visit.

THE KEEPSAKE

Your scent, recorded for life

Every bespoke formula created in the session is registered and stored, so you can reorder your exact fragrance in the future; atomiser sizes are offered so you can take home 5ml, 20ml or 30ml versions.

What the day feels like

What the two hours feel like

The session moves from a relaxed welcome into a short history and overview of The Perfume Studio, then into scent education and hands‑on mixing. Guided sampling helps you identify notes that suit your tastes before you name, register and bottle your signature fragrance — all within roughly two hours.
