Loved doing this with my Daughter whilst we were in Paris we learnt a lot more aboutnotes of perfume and what is short and long lasting. Marina was just wonderful, so knowledgable and patient. And her apartment was a warm and calm environment for us to create our own individual perfumes.Great Parisian experience that is just a bit different from the norm.
The instructor was very knowledgable regarding perfumes but I had wanted to learn more about how perfumes are made, the various properties of essences, etc. This hands-on workshop allows you to formulate your own custom blend with a generous-sized bottle to take home, plus 3 samples. I would have preferred a more interactive workshop however still recommend this one as it is conducted in a small group in a lovely private home whose neighborhood is near the Eiffel Tower. Time it right and go to the Tower after the workshop!
Highly recommend this workshop! Great venue in a Parisian apartment. It was fun and so unique. I had read earlier that you receive 1 bottle and had the ability to purchase the other scents if you wish and we did, they were a great value! My daughter and I will remember this experience for ever. Thx
This was the first time I enrolled and it was such a treat! I really enjoyed learning about the chemistry behind creating fragrances. Marina was instrumental in assuring the right fragrance tones were selected to complete my formulas. She was also very patient while answering many questions, and making sure each student in the class received personal time/attention. I would totally recommend this class to anyone looking to experience something really special while visiting Paris. Her apartment is just lovely and provides the perfect back drop for this Parisian event!
This is the third time I've participated in a perfume-making workshop in France -- and this was the best! The setting: in a lovely Paris apartment. The size: just three of us, plus our teacher. The workshop itself: informative, plus you get to mix three different scents with terrific guidance before choosing which you want. For some extra euro, you can buy each of the scents you create. Also, custom-made perfume is a fantastic souvenir.
