Short Description

Immerse your senses in the art of artisan perfumery and create your own exclusive 50 ml fragrance inspired by the iconic essences of Sicily. Guided step-by-step by a Master Perfumer, you will build a bespoke olfactory pyramid to take home, complete with a personalized bottle, welcome kit, and certificate.

Full Description

Transform the memories, landscapes, and atmosphere of Sicily into a distinctive personal fragrance. This private, hands-on workshop introduces you to the craft of fine perfumery, guiding you through the authentic creative process of a professional "nose".

The session begins with an introduction to fragrance families, traditional Mediterranean raw materials, and the architecture of the olfactory pyramid—covering top, heart, and base notes. Once you define the sensory direction that best reflects your style, you will take your place at an individual workstation equipped with a dedicated perfume organ.

Using professional precision instruments—including beakers, graduated pipettes, formulation sheets, and smelling strips (mouillettes)—you will blend Sicilian accord oils drop by drop until you achieve the ideal harmony. Once your formula is balanced, you will bottle your 50 ml creation, affix a personalized label featuring your chosen fragrance name, and receive your perfume in an elegant gift box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there age limits or health considerations?

This workshop is not suitable for children (recommended for ages 14 and older). The experience is not recommended for pregnant women or individuals suffering from respiratory allergies or asthma, due to the high concentration of essential oils in the air. Please notify us of any allergies in advance.

Are pets allowed during the workshop?

To protect their well-being, pets are not allowed: animals possess an exceptionally sensitive sense of smell, and the high concentration of essential oils and intense fragrances in the workshop environment could cause them severe discomfort or distress.

Do I need prior perfumery experience?

No background knowledge is required. The Master Perfumer adapts the guidance step-by-step, making the blending process accessible and engaging for complete beginners and perfume enthusiasts alike.
