How much is a perfume making class in London?

The Scentâme Perfume Atelier · London

Perfume workshops in London.
Leave with your own scent.

We’ve upgraded our space in London into a perfume atelier, dedicated wholly to perfumery — walls stocked with nearly 300 ingredients, a bench set for blending, our perfumers at your side. Compose a fragrance note by note, and carry home a bottle nobody else on earth will ever wear.

The house of personal fragrance

A seat at the perfumer’s bench

Scentâme was founded to give anyone a seat at the perfumer’s bench. Our workshops are developed and taught by our perfumers, built on the materials and methods used by the great fragrance houses, and kept deliberately intimate. You don’t come here to learn about perfume. You come here to make one.

The workshops, in detail

Five ways to compose

IntroductionFrom £60.001 hr 30 minMax 16

Perfume Making - Beginners

Your first visit to the workshop — no perfumery experience needed, just a curious nose and a couple of hours. We walk you through a curated library of naturals and the architecture of a fragrance. You leave with a finished eau de parfum nobody else owns.

Smell your way through a curated library — citrus, floral, woody, amber and fresh families — guided by one of our perfumers
Learn the architecture of a fragrance: top, heart and base, the way professionals compose
Blend, test and finalise a full eau de parfum that is entirely yours
Leave with your finished bottle, labelled and ready to wear

Best for

Birthdays, hen parties, bridal groups, gifts, anyone curious about perfumery

AdvancedFrom £95.002 hr 30 minMax 16

Perfume Making - Advanced

A longer, deeper afternoon for guests who want more than an introduction. Advanced leans into rare and precious naturals — oud, sandalwood, vanilla absolute, patchouli — and the craft of building accords. You leave with a perfume that holds its own next to anything on your shelf.

Work with rare naturals and artisanal absolutes that rarely make it outside the industry
Learn how perfumers build a single accord — rose, oud, leather, amber — from many materials into one
Compose, refine and balance a full eau de parfum, with a second blotter trial to push your direction
Finish with a one-to-one debrief on your formula and where to take it from here

Best for

Returning guests, fragrance enthusiasts, refining a signature scent, serious gifts

MasterclassFrom £150.002 hr 30 minMax 16

Perfume Making - Masterclass

Our most serious tier. Aroma-chemicals alongside naturals, lab-grade scales, and the way professional perfumers actually work. Smaller groups, more bench time, real technique. For aspiring perfumers, indie founders and serious collectors — not a first visit.

Work with the full modern palette — naturals AND the aroma-chemicals that define contemporary perfumery
Weigh on a 0.001 g lab balance, iterate by formula percentage, and read a brief the way it lands on a perfumer’s desk
Compose a structured eau de parfum with commercial bones, with guidance on how it would scale to production
Leave with your finished bottle, your lab notes, and a one-to-one critique

Best for

Experienced noses, indie brand founders, collectors, anyone considering perfumery seriously

Every session, a perfumer at the bench

Every Scentâme workshop is taught by one of our working perfumers. We keep the table small and the expertise at the bench — so every question is answered, every accord is refined with you, and every bottle that leaves with you has been touched by a professional.

Our workshops are developed around the materials and methods used at the great fragrance houses. No pre-mixed kits. No shortcuts. A real composition, at professional concentration, weighed and balanced the way perfumers work in a lab — with over 70 of the nearly 300 ingredients we stock in our perfume atelier to work with.

Frequently asked

Our perfume making classes in London start at £60 per person: Beginners from £60, Advanced from £95 and Masterclass from £150. On every date the first six seats are Early bird (£25 off), the next five are Advance (£10 off) and the last five are full price (£85, £120 and £175), so the earlier you book, the less you pay. Peak dates cost a little more. Every class includes your materials, a perfumer guiding you throughout, and the perfume you make to take home.

Not for a moment. The Beginner Workshop is designed for guests with zero experience and is our most-booked session. You'll be guided through every step by one of our perfumers, and leave with a finished bottle you're genuinely proud of.

A real eau de parfum, composed to professional concentration. We stock nearly 300 raw materials and use the same methods and equipment you'd find in a working perfumery lab — not pre-mixed kits.
