As the course is just one and a half hours long, we couldn't really do all the steps ourselves, but nonetheless we got a pretty clear idea of the whole procedure! Just a tiny suggestion: the meeting point is not that easy to spot... Give yourself some time to find it!”

The workshop itself was really good, the leader was very knowledgeable and really captured what we wanted our fragrances to smell like and helped us to achieve it. The shop gift…”
