From the moment I walked in, I felt that flutter of excitement mixed with, “How on earth am I going to do this?” Creating a perfume from scratch sounded romantic in theory but when you’re faced with dozens of beautiful scents, it can feel a little overwhelming. That’s where Carina our host was simply brilliant. With warmth, patience and genuine passion, she gently guided us through the art and science of fragrance. She taught us about top notes, the first spark that greets you. Middle notes, the heart that gives the perfume its personality. And base notes, the grounding depth that lingers long after you’ve left the room. Suddenly, what felt intimidating became creative, playful and deeply personal. There was something so special about watching everyone in the group experiment, blend, laugh and share their creations. Each scent told a story. Each bottle reflected a little piece of its maker. It wasn’t just a class, it was connection, curiosity and joy all unfolding together. And then the final touch, seeing my bottle labelled: Designed and hand poured by Jodie. I cannot explain how happy that made me. To hold something so unique, crafted by my own hands, a literal expression of creativity and memory captured in glass, it truly felt like happiness in a bottle. If you’re looking for an experience to do with a friend, a group or a partner this is such a warm, memorable and beautifully different experience, I highly recommend this. It’s not just about perfume. It’s about confidence, creativity and making moments that stay with you long after the scent settles on your skin.
