Full disappointment
Our lady was rushing through the workshop and put much more efforts into selling the perfumes afterwards. The description of the tour says about creating own EUP. In fact, all participants get exactly the same 3 ingredients/notes and thus are limited just to a combination of those. I did not like the outcome of the workshop to be anything more than an apartment refresher. In fact, I may consider refund as it is clearly not the service I paid for. Our guide had limited knowledge - when I asked her about the difference between perfume and extract, she was insisting there is nothing stronger than perfume although she could clearly not explain why there cannot be more than 25-30% of concentration. I checked the literature later and she was wrong. At least she could admit on not having knowledge instead of laughing out other brands. I came to the workshop with the intention of purchasing some fragrances for myself - the workshop discouraged me totally.
Ça ne vaut pas le coup
31€ pour créer un parfum de 12ml c’est assez cher tandis que d’autre atelier propose 65€ pour créer un parfum de 100ml
Un peu survendu
L'atelier en lui même est plus une opération commerciale qu'une vraie activité de découverte.
