Perfume Making Classes San Francisco & the Bay Area

Hosted 500+ People

Blend a fragrance that is actually yours

In our aromatherapy perfume making classes you work like a perfumer: explore top, heart and base notes from a working organ of essential oils, learn how a fragrance opens and settles on the skin, then blend, test and refine your own signature scent — and take home a full bottle you made yourself. No experience needed; every material is included. Classes run in our San Francisco Financial District studio and in San Jose, and both studios host private perfume-blending events for teams of 10 to 150.

It’s a great experience but if they can fix the problem with getting into the gate would be a lot easier for me to find the door. Anyway, the teacher is professional and helps me a lot with the rug tufting. I do have a lot of fun, and the result is perfect.

We came here for my friend’s birthday and had such a lovely time. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, the staff were all so friendly, and the whole experience was so much fun. We loved making our mosaic lamps, and they turned out even better than we expected. Such a unique way to celebrate—highly recommend!

What a fun experience! We were intimidated at first but it was so easy and our instructor was so supportive and 10 minutes into the craft we were totally engaged. South Street Seaport location is set up perfectly for the many craft options they offer. We will definitely go back to make another item. A must do!

Turkish mosaic lamp workshop honolulu

Wonderful family experience! We had so much fun creating our lamps together, and now they're on our patio where we get to enjoy them every day. Every time we see them, we're reminded of the wonderful quality time we spent together making them. Chiara and Nur were amazing—they guided us step by step throughout the entire process, making it easy and enjoyable. We truly loved the whole experience and highly recommend it…

I had been interested in rug tufting and thought that this class would be a good opportunity to try it out. The instructor was nice and easy to follow. Both me and my partner were happy with our finished rugs. I would recommend this class to anyone that is interested or is crafty and wanted something fun to do with a friend!
