Sweet Moments...
The one hour workshop of composing your special parfum was fabulous. It was fascinating to learn how to compose your special scent using the provided perfume organ. Exploring what essence was most appealing and what was not was quite fun! It provided some surprising discussion points at my table. Our instructor for the day was very patient and kind to all those that attended. Her guidance of how to choose, edit and build your formula was beyond helpful. No language barrier for us as we requested an instructor who spoke English. At the end of the day, my family and I not only learned about the art of making perfume but savored the moments of building our custom scent together. We'll always remember our time in Grasse and the kind warm people that we met along the way.
Good Workshop but a little rushed
I really enjoyed the workshop but unfortunately Amandine was a bit impatient and I felt was rushing things to finish quickly.
Moment magique !
La gentillesse des intervenants. Compliqué qd les autres personnes de votre table n'écoutent pas les consignes. Pas de difficulté de réservation. Sans problème j'en ai parlé autour de moi déjà. Je recommencerai mais à une période plus calme.
