Great experience
My son and I went to the workshop. Purchased it in advance, it was an interesting experience. We both loved it and love our perfume which we got to experiment on our own.

Absolutely fantastic. A lot of possibilities and good guidance.
Booking was very easy. I did research before the course so I knew what I wanted but ended up doing something else as there were unexpeted and interesting notes available. Very happy with the scent I made.

A great time...
It was so cool. Smelling the different scents and determining what was specific to my pheremones was an adventure. I would suggest coffee beans because all those scents can be a bit overwhelming. A great time and the hosts were knowledgeable and patient.

Dear Lynette, Thank you so much for your enthusiastic feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed this olfactory adventure and the unique connection you were able to create with scents that reflect your personality. As for the coffee beans, it’s a common suggestion, but in reality, they are not effective in "resetting" the sense of smell. The best method is actually to smell your own skin, typically the inside of your wrist, as it allows your nose to naturally recalibrate without being further stimulated. This is precisely why our smelling phases are carefully timed: it gives your nose a moment to rest between each fragrance, helping ensure you perceive the final blend accurately. Thank you again for your lovely message, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon! Warm regards, The Molinard Team
