You'll learn the craft of scent composition in an authentic atelier setting, guided through selecting and blending aromatic notes to build a bespoke scent you'll take home.

What to expect
Arrive at the atelier in central Florence and meet your perfumer instructor. You'll start with a sensory primer—understanding top, middle and base notes—then sample a curated range of essential oils and fragrance compounds. The perfumer will guide you through the blending process, helping you layer scents according to your preferences and the classical perfume structure. You'll make notes, test combinations on paper strips, and refine your creation until satisfied. The final 15 minutes involve bottling and labelling your finished fragrance. Expect a calm, focused environment rather than a group party.
