Fun with Fragrance - This experience was amazing. The directions of where to come on the confirmation were very clear and explicitly laid out which made it easy for us to locate the space. The fee for this class is well worth the experience. I would totally book this experience again. We were greeted right away by amazing staff members who allowed us to be ourselves and explained all of the details of the experience, offered their thoughts on our fragrances and walked us through the entire process. I felt very supported and comfortable in the space. The length and time spent in the visit was perfect, I did not feel rushed throughout the experience. The atmosphere was pleasant, clean and presentable and the temperature in the room was perfect. The experience was packed as every table was filled due to it being Valentine's Day weekend but it did not feel uncomfortable as the tables and chairs were spaced out so that everyone had the space they needed. The staff was amazing I would definitely do this again! Best for friends, couples, a first date, mother/daughter experience or just a fun afternoon outing.

Great Girls Outing - This was so much fun. A great way to do something special with your gal pals. And you go home with your own chosen bottle of fragrance.

Great time - Fun educational, great instructor - we had a lot of fun. We weren't sure what to expect but well worth it. Ask for directions when you walk in the building - there is a concierge near the Michigan Ave entrance - it will make locating the venue way easier.

A Scent-sational Experience: Crafting Our Own Signature Fragrances - What an incredible experience! This perfume-making class exceeded all my expectations. We had the opportunity to create truly personalized, handmade scents by experimenting with various fragrance bases, and the process was both educational and creative. The instructor was phenomenal—their expert nose made all the difference. As I combined different notes and bases, they guided me through refining my creation with thoughtful suggestions that helped transform my initial blend into something truly special. Their ability to identify which elements would harmonize or clash was impressive, and they explained the science and artistry behind perfumery in an accessible way. I loved the hands-on nature of the class and the freedom to explore different scent combinations. By the end, I walked away with a unique fragrance that I actually created myself, plus a much deeper appreciation for the craft of perfume making. Whether you're a fragrance enthusiast or just looking for a unique and memorable experience, I highly recommend this class. You'll leave with both a custom scent and newfound knowledge about the world of perfumery!

Great, unique experience and souvenir from Chicago - I absolutely loved this class! Alana was a fantastic teacher; very thorough with instructions, knowledge of the different scents, scent combinations, and suggestions. I love the perfume I created and definitely will take another class to create a new scent during my next visit to Chicago!

Sensory Activity for Adults - Such an intimate date idea! My husband and I did this and it’s a great activity to practice communication and play on the senses. Staff were well informed, gave great pairing recommendations but also allowed autonomy and creativity to truly make a custom scent. I would recommend as a solo, couples, or even friends activity!

5 Great Friends - Please try to be early if you can because if you are a group of 5 they might put you at a table alone away from your group. I will tell you this it was a fun time and we as a group did sit together. The host did apologize for the inconvenience.

Hard to Find, but Had Fun - We had a lot of fun making perfume. The location was hard to find. It would have been helpful to mention in the booking that the store was located inside a mall. Also, while the guides were somewhat helpful, I wish they were move involved in the process. My daughter and I had a lot of fun, and we were excited to bring home a souvenir from our Chicago trip.
