About this tour
A 3-hour perfume-making workshop in a local's Amsterdam home where you'll blend high-quality fragrance ingredients to create a custom scent. Small groups mean you get one-on-one guidance as you experiment, test and refine your formula. You'll take home your creation in a hand-stamped pouch, with the option to upgrade to a 10ml travel bottle. It's a hands-on introduction to fragrance composition suited to solo travellers, couples and groups seeking a creative, intimate experience.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the workshop venue and be welcomed into an intimate, home-based setting. After a brief introduction to fragrance composition, you'll receive your workbook, tools (pipettes, glass tester pot, gloves) and access to the ingredient range. The bulk of the session is hands-on: you'll experiment with different scent notes, test combinations in your glass pot, document your working formula, and refine your blend based on feedback from your host. Tea and water are available throughout. Once you're satisfied with your creation, you'll transfer it into the hand-stamped pouch to take away, along with your personalised formula notes.
