Highlights
Outing Highlights
Create a Truly Personal Fragrance
Guided by The Perfume Studio’s stylists, you’ll select from curated blends and combine notes to design a signature scent you can name, bottle and reorder later—an uncommon hands‑on maker’s experience in perfumery.
A Practical Mixology Masterclass
The session teaches the structure of fragrance—top, middle and base notes—and how they interact, then moves into hand‑blending so participants understand both theory and technique.
Bottled, Named and Registered for Life
Your finished scent is bottled, named and registered so you can reorder it in future; premium package options include larger atomisers and optional afternoon tea or bubbly for a more indulgent visit.
