A Personal Alchemy Perfume Experience: Craft Your Own Artisan Scent in Richmond Upon Thames

A uniquely mindful, creative experience, to immerse yourself in the alchemic world of artisan perfumery and create your own personalised fragrance.

In this deeply personal and immersive workshop, we use the unique power of scent to connect us to ourselves and tell our own scent stories. You will sample precious natural botanicals and blend your own bespoke fragrance using luxury artisan blending accords. Whether you're curious about perfumery, especially drawn to more natural ingredients, or simply looking for a soul-nourishing creative escape, this sensory experience offers something truly special.

✨ No experience needed – just a love of scent and a desire to create
✨ Take home a 30ml atomiser bottle of your personalised fragrance, beautifully presented in a linen gift bag
✨ Your fragrance formula will be saved so you can easily reorder your creation
✨ Includes a refreshing botanical mocktail and slice of homemade cake

This is more than a hands-on workshop – it's a rare opportunity to creatively experiment with scent and take time out to connect with yourself, and craft something that's entirely your own.

Whether you're gifting someone special or treating yourself, it’s an experience that stays with you – long after the scent fades.
