Perfume Making Masterclass in Florence

Immerse yourself in the full sensorial experience of perfume-making in this special masterclass hosted in a beautiful Florentine atelier. 

Nestled in the cellars of a Renaissance palazzo in Santa Croce, discover the on-site laboratories of an exclusive Maison de Parfum, learn to train your nose with an expert olfactory and create your very own perfume to take home. When you stay in one of our luxury villas in Tuscany, you can go from poolside to perfumery in no time at all, returning in time for dinner smelling ravishing and unique. 

Create your perfume in a historic Florentine atelier with a master ‘profumiere’ 

Led by an olfactory expert, this special perfume-making masterclass will begin with a tour of the atelier and laboratories, as well as an introduction to the techniques used in designing a custom fragrance. Equipped with beakers, pipettes and a selection of scents, you will train your nose to distinguish the nuances of each essence so you can find the perfect formula for your very own perfume. 

The Maison de Parfum offers a collection of perfumes created with rare materials from around the world by a perfumer who follows the traditions of Florentine artistic perfumery. In this interactive masterclass, the master perfumer will take you on a journey through over 1,000 precious essences as you learn to create a tailor-made perfume. 

At the end of the workshop, you will leave with a personal notebook that includes the formula of the fragrance you have created along with a 100ml bottle of perfume. A beautiful memento of Florence that you can hold close to you always. And in case you run out of our unique scent, the atelier keeps a copy of each formula in their archives, so you can always return to buy more. 
 

Choose between a morning session from 10:30am or an afternoon session starting at 3:30pm. The workshop will include a tour of perfumery and a sensorial experience with an olfactory specialist, followed by a perfume-making masterclass.
