Experience
It was a very enjoyable session and something different to do. Easy enough to book. My only criticism was the host was spread a little thinly due to there being a few large groups. I would have liked to have had the opportunity to ask a few more questions and ask if she had any recommendations of what in her experience would work with what?
Very good and fun
I was there with a friend back in June and had a good experience with the workshop, good staff who helped explain how to make a perfume. A clear recommendation from us

Dear Frederik Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the workshop and the support from our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we would be happy to welcome you and your friend again for another fragrant experience. See you soon, The Molinard Team
Needed more explanation, but love my perfume
I would have preferred to learn more about how different scents worked together. There were some unpleasant scents and with a quick Google search I learned those unpleasant smells can bring out the pleasant smells more. I did feel rushed to try to pick my scents due to this as I wanted to create a more unique scent instead of just picking what I thought smelled good. However, I would recommend this class by giving the person the heads up.

Hello Julia Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that you felt a bit rushed when selecting your scents — we completely understand your wish to create a truly unique fragrance. Our 1hour workshop is designed as a collective introduction to the world of perfume, with a limited timeframe that doesn’t always allow for deeper exploration or detailed individual guidance. For a more personalized experience, our Prestige Workshop would likely have suited you better. It offers extended time, the discovery of a wider range of scents, and a dedicated expert to guide you step-by-step in crafting your bespoke perfume. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue to enhance our experiences. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you again for a more tailored and in-depth session. Warm regards, The Molinard Team
