Create a custom perfume in this relaxed, hands-on perfume-making workshop in Los Angeles or Duarte, CA. Designed for beginners, this class offers a simplified and welcoming introduction to the art of blending and layering scents. A friendly instructor will guide and consult you every step of the way throughout the process of making a perfume exactly to your taste. You'll walk away with a scent you're certain to love.
You’ll learn how to blend fragrances using high-quality ingredients, starting with a base of fractionated coconut oil (if it's a roller) or perfumer's alcohol (if it's a spray) and phthalate-free, paraben-free fragrance oils. If you have sensitivities or allergies, just let your instructor know ahead of time—alternative bases can be provided at no extra charge. Choose from a diverse library of over 50 high-quality fragrance notes, including unique scents like yuzu, lychee, and oolong tea, as you explore different fragrance profiles to find a combination that speaks to you.
Your ticket includes all of the necessary materials, a variety of stickers to decorate your perfume bottle, and some light refreshments. Perfect for a creative outing with friends, a solo activity, date night, or for those looking for fun things to do in LA, you’ll leave with a custom perfume that’ll turn heads.
