Wow! Not only was this a great find, it was a really fun and enjoyable experience. This was a wonderful opportunity to learn the history of perfume, how to make it, and how to design your own personal product. With such an array of sents, no two are exactly alike! The bonus is this is a unique souvenir to take home too

Esperienza bellissima e molto interessante, sia per la spiegazione iniziale della storia dei profumi nel mondo, sia per la parte pratica, dove ci siamo divertiti a creare da zero un profumo testando le essenze che ci piacevano di più. Grazie alla competenze delle guide abbiamo potuto creare un profumo su misura in base alle nostre preferenze, che alla fine abbiamo anche riportato a casa.

È stato un regalo di anniversario per mia moglie, appassionata di profumi. Una bellissima esperienza che, a detta sua, ripeterebbe con gioia. Bellissima la location dell'esperienza e bravissime le ragazze che si occupano della gestione del laboratorio. Consigliatissimo!

What a unique experience!! There are many high end fragrance boutiques throughout Florence, but this particular location has an interesting history as a school of perfume! Elena and Ray were so attentive and sweet! They helped us each balance a custom fragrance from dozens of individual scent notes. Highly recommend this activity!

Ho fatto questa esperienza nel giorno del mio compleanno. ho la passione dei profumi e appena ho visto che potevo crearlo non ho esitato a prenotare. La storia del posto è antica e molto interessante. Le ragazze sono state carine ed era un piacere ascoltarle. Il momento della scelta delle fragranze è magico, alcune mi hanno sbloccato dei ricordi ed è stato bellissimo. Non vedo l'ora di poterlo mettere e uscire col mio profumo personale. (dopo la creazione bisogno aspettare 30 giorni)

This was the best tour we did in Florence. Such a unique activity with my teenage daughter. We learned a lot about the history of perfume making (and makers), learned about how perfume is layered and had fun choosing our own ingredients for a very personal souvenir to take home from Florence. The two guides were great and took a lot of time explaining the beautiful shop.

It had the potential to be a great perfume making class however instructions were poor and I felt like me and my husband along with another couple were not attended to the way we should have been. I had lots of questions and I wanted do get more information out of it than I did however the two instructors were too busy with other individuals. I don’t think the value for the money is there. I do know there were multiple people shopping in the shop when our class was going on which made them get behind. Overall our class lasted at least 2.25 hours instead of 1.5hours.

A very warm and inviting class with skilled and knowledgeable teachers to guide you and answer questions. They explain to you the basis of the art and allow you to interact with the individual scents to form your own particular perfume. They then work with you to round it out and finish the final product by curating the perfect ratio for a cohesive scent. I’d recommend this to anyone curious about sensory aesthetics, apothecary arts, perfume making, aromatherapy, or other adjacent interests.

This masterclass was more than I expected. The two young ladies were very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I learned about perfume notes and the importance of choosing the right base to elevate my unique scent. Would recommend anyone in Florence take this masterclass as I will remember this as a really good experience during my trip to the Tuscany region.

Eine ganz und gar wunderbare Erfahrung. Wir hätten uns noch etwas mehr Hintergrund zu der ganzen Geschichte des Parfüms gewünscht bzw. warum man von welchem Duft so und so viele Tropfen nimmt. Aber,wir sind trotzdem sehr begeistert von allem gewesen und würden es jederzeit wieder machen. Danke,an das Team. Sehr herzlich! Authentisch! Toller Laden.

We went to the perfume experience as a family with a teenage daughter. As a dad with no knowledge or a great sense of smell I was still able to produce a nice scent thanks to the help of the instructors. My wife and daughter loved it and can’t wait for the perfume to age so they can use it.
