Experience Details
What It Is
Perfume is built in layers: bright top notes you smell first, heart notes that carry the character, and base notes that hold everything down over time. Understanding those three layers is all you need to blend something you will actually want to wear.
In this workshop at our Downtown San Jose studio you sample across thirty essential oils, learn how the layers interact, then build and bottle your own blend with guidance at every step. You leave with a finished custom perfume and the recipe behind it.
