Not what I expected
I expected to be able to curate a fragrance in some way. I understand is short so maybe just chose between a couple of top notes, or maybe have 2 or 3 combinations possible. Instead you are to guess the correct ratios to recreate a single fragrance or "create your own" but really, it is too difficult since you can't really smell it as you make it. I would have preferred a more formula based option with more accurate measurements and some options on the notes of the personal fragrance. If you don't like the notes you get, you are out of luck. Seeing that the museum is free, I saw little value added in the workshop itself. At least it was fun and the workshop leader was very nice.
I expected for more
Not a lot of smells to choose from
English ?
Whilst the workshop was advertised in English, we found it almost impossible to understand the guide, she was very nice but she spoke far too quietly and with a heavy accent and a mask it was impossible to understand her.
