English perfume workshop
I booked the activity for myself, my mom, and my two (10 yr, 14 yr) daughters. It was a great activity for all ages, especially my daughters. And a great counter balance to all the museums and historic sites. We loved learning the different layers of the perfume, and the museum was interesting. I think it would have been helpful to do the museum first, and then create your fragrance. I also thought we were going to create a perfume from scratch, rather than a variation of an existing one. I would definitely recommend the workshop and thought it was a great value! It was easy to book.
Could have been better
Our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable but the “tour” was extremely short. We thought we would have a few extra minutes to actually look through the museum. It was cute for our family but in my opinion too expensive. It was mostly a sales pitch at the end which took time away from the actual museum.
Great workshop, loved it!
This was a fantastic workshop with a really knowledgeable guide. We really enjoyed the museum tour, we could have spent longer on this! Then great to get to try all the different perfumes. I would absolutely recommend this activity.
