Lovely workshop, nice to be in Spanish - I really enjoyed this workshop it was fun and we booked it in Spanish, where the lady guiding the activity was super friendly and fun. We did not get her name but she is from Mexico. I do recommend it. I don't enjoy the sharing discounted box to buy your own perfume part as we were going to buy the same amount of perfumes anyway and you are giving it at that price. It probably is a way they have been doing it from a while back, but now it is not efficient and something I enjoy getting with strangers to buy my perfume just to get the discount. Maybe something for management to reevaluate at this point. We are doing the workshop, the discounted price was attractive, we might have even taken more if we didn't have to share a box with other people, it is just odd. Regardless we loveee the products and it is my second time doing it as the first time I did it with Friends in English and this time I took my mother, she loved it. Thank you.

Excellent perfume class for a step away from the ordinary - This tour through the fragrance world was fun and quick. We made the personal fragrance right away and then walked through a brief history of how it’s made. They offer a purchase of their base perfumes which smelled amazing and we actually bought some. The instructor was sweet, knowledgeable and fun. We really enjoyed this class.

Unique experience to make your own scent and learn about the history of perfume - This was such a fun experience! The staff were all super nice. It was a lot of fun to learn about perfume while getting to smell the different notes. Blending your own signature scent was a really unique thing to do. My 12 year old loved it. The museum itself was very interesting - a lot of historic items and facts you wouldn't know about perfume. The museum is also convenient to the metro and shopping.

A new appreciation of parfum - We really enjoyed this class, especially the tour of the Musée. We actually had been expecting to make our own custom scents, however, as lilac is one of my favorites I did love my creation!

I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who want really learn about parfum and make your own parfum. - The initial explanation was rushed, leaving everyone in the room confused. The order of the activities didn't make sense either: we first made a perfume, then learned about the history of perfume. This left us with many unanswered questions about how perfume is actually made. The process was also disappointing—we merely modified an existing fragrance from the brand by adjusting the percentages of just three pre-selected essences. The result was a perfume that was unpleasant and completely unusable. Everyone had numerous questions throughout the experience, but the fast pace of the tour made it impossible to get any clarification. To make things worse, the entire activity was done standing up, with the perfume being mixed on a bench. There was no opportunity to sit comfortably and focus on the experiment. At the end of the experience, the brand takes you to a separate area where they try to sell you their own perfumes. If you're looking to create your own unique fragrance, this experience is not for you. They claim that simply adjusting the percentage of pre-chosen notes makes the perfume 'yours' and unique, but in reality, you don't get to choose the essences. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone and would definitely suggest looking for a better experience elsewhere
