5.00Taking this workshop, gives you that extra insight to making of perfumes and finding what scents you like. Arielle is very knowledgeable and her energy is so calming. She starts it off with breathing exercise which creates a wholesome, war and relaxed atmosphere.

5.00Arielle’s workshop was a refreshing and fun activity, and my first time! I not only learned basics of scents, but this workshop turned me into somewhat of an enthusiast for scents, understanding its composition and exploring why different scents resonates with me ! (I ask about bergamot every store I go to😅😅) I already have a second session planned and would recommend you to try this workshop, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
Very cool experience for almost anyone

5.00My brother gifted me this workshop for my birthday, and it turned out to be such a lasting gift. I now wear a scent that feels entirely my own- and the compliments haven’t stopped. More than that, I left with a trained nose and a deeper understanding of fragrance. It’s like learning a secret language. The pre-made scents are stunning too (Rijksmuseum is my personal staple). But the real magic? Arielle. She’s the soul of the workshop—grounded, passionate, and impossibly cool. You can’t bottle what she brings. This isn’t just a class; it’s an inspiring experience I’d recommend to anyone.
Beautiful experience discovering out senses!

5.00Joined s)cented perfume workshop on Friday evening and had such a wonderful time! Arielle, our host, was absolutely amazing — she set the scene beautifully and guided us with so much care and clarity. Her energy was the perfect mix of bubbly and calm, which made the entire evening feel warm, welcoming, and wholesome. She walked us through the basics of perfumery in a way that was both fun and informative, and really encouraged us to explore and create with confidence. It was such a lovely experience from start to finish. I 100% recommend this workshop to anyone curious about fragrance — and I’m seriously considering joining the longer version as well!
Scent-sational Experience!

5.00I had a fantastic experience at the perfume class with Arielle! She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about perfumery, which made the session both engaging and inspiring. Arielle explained everything clearly and was always happy to answer questions and offer guidance. One of the highlights was creating our own custom fragrance. Arielle provided just the right balance of structure and creative freedom, making the process approachable and fun, even for beginners. The class atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and full of positive energy. I left not only with a personalized perfume but also a newfound appreciation for the artistry behind fragrance-making. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a unique, hands-on, and sensory-rich experience!
