In response to rising tariffs, import fees and material costs, our workshop pricing has been thoughtfully adjusted to maintain the premium quality and standards of an Eau de Parfum experience.

Maceration Process:

Each fragrance is artfully blended and designed to evolve with time. Like a fine wine, your perfume reaches its true character when aged in a cool, dark space, allowing the notes to harmonize and mature. Though you may wear it immediately, we recommend allowing your signature scent to rest for at least two weeks to unveil its deepest expression and lasting allure.

Perfume Workshop Policy:

At our workshop, your safety and enjoyment are paramount. Please take note of the following policy guidelines to ensure a seamless and enriching experience:

• Age Restrictions: Due to the handling of perfume-grade materials and the nature of the workshop, participants must be 16 years of age or older, with no exceptions. For students under 18, parental or guardian consent is required, and a Workshop Liability Waiver must be completed by all students.
• Non-Refundable and Non-Exchangeable: Please note that workshops are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. However, we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and workshops can be rescheduled with a 24-hour notice prior to the scheduled start time.
• Materials Consumption and Returns: Once a scent is created by a student, all materials and goods are considered consumed. As such, no returns, refunds, or exchanges are allowed. We encourage you to fully embrace the creative process and trust your instincts when designing your signature perfume.
• Attendance and Timeliness: We kindly request that all participants arrive on time for their scheduled workshop. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may cause delays, and we will allow a 15-minute grace period. Late arrivals beyond the grace period will be considered a cancellation, and the workshop may be rescheduled for a later date.
• Cancellations & Rescheduling: Workshops canceled by participants will be forfeited, and tickets and fees will not be refunded, transferred nor exchanged. To reschedule a workshop we require a 24 hour notice prior to the date and time of the event. If proper notice is not received, we will considered the event cancelled by participant.

Inclement Weather Policy:

Your safety is of utmost importance to us. In the event of inclement weather, we reserve the right to reschedule workshops if the Perfumer is unable to travel safely.
