Serene and nice and happy - It was a beautiful experience for me, I love perfumes and scents in general. Arielle made it fun and easy to grasp the complexity of making my own perfume and provided water and tea. In all i had a wonderful time and felt serene and happy leaving the workshop -

Delightful experience! Highly recommend - YES YES YES! Absolutely cannot recommend this workshop enough. I did this workshop with my best friend and we still can’t stop talking about it. It was very thoughtful, educational and fun! Arielle ( the host) is so patient and knowledgeable - I am an absolute beginner and without giving too much of the contents of the workshop I left having learnt more about scents , oils, molecules , layering and so much more. Most importantly I love that I learnt about what scents I like and when searching for perfumes nowadays I actively search for perfumes with my favourite oils// molecules . Arielle also has some great already made perfumes to buy on the day! I got a couple ( highly recommend “stroopwafel”) and I’ve gotten so many complements using it. I named my perfume “Ikaya” which means home in Xhosa. It was perfect and so me - thanks Arielle for passing on the knowledge! Looking forward to the next time .

Wonderful experience - amazing out-of-the-box date plan! - Wow! Loved this experience with Arielle! Would recommend it to anyone. Why? First of all, Arielle is a wonderful host of the DIY make your own fragrance workshop, she makes you feel at ease and is a great connector of people - the vibe in the group with the 5 others was right away on point. Secondly, it is a super creative and fun process to create your own smell. We got introduced to 25 ingredients (molecules) that could be chosen from to make your own fragrance. Loved to learn more about the science and background of these smelled which Arielle explained very well. The end product is so gratifying - as you get to go home with your own fragrance that you have concocted yourself! Would recommend it to anyone - especially if you’re looking for a creative + out-of-the-box date idea! Thanks Arielle, for a wonderful time!

Highly recommend the parfum workshop! - We did a private workshop for my partners birthday and it was honestly amazing. Throughout the experience we learned to differentiate so many different smells and created our own parfum with expert advice from Arielle. And funny enough even a month after we feel that we can differentiate smells better / articulate better what we smell.

Great experience at scent workshop - The scent workshop was really fun and interesting! It got me looking at the ingredients lists of products whose scent I like, and also looking at ingredients suppliers because I’m like hmm, how could I tweak this more? I’m really happy with the scent I created. I think the pacing was good; it was necessary to have time to take “scent breaks” to let your nose rest, and then to have some time to think over and plan out the individual perfumes we created. Thanks Arielle!

Super cute and fun experience! - My friend and I loved every bit of the workshop! Not only do you get to create your own custom perfumes, you get to learn and smell a lot of different ingredients that you’ve never encountered before. Super cute and fun experience, recommend it 100% 🫶🏻 I’m also in LOVE the perfume I made and have been wearing it regularly – recommend paying the little extra to get the bigger bottle which lasts about 200 sprays and it’s the perfect travel size for keeping in your handbag. Thank you Arielle 💕

Incredible experience! - I really recommend this experience. Arielle provides all the instructions in a clear way and has a lot of technical knowledge. It was really fun and insightful to see how we can describe and identify smells. Also worth mentioning that she helped with my perfume and it smells perfectly, just the way I wanted it to be!
