Perfume Workshop in Bucharest for Groups — What Is This Experience?
The Perfume Workshop in Bucharest — Group Session is a creative perfumery class run by Scent Studio, where participants discover the art of building a fragrance from scratch. In an elegant space in the heart of the city, guided step by step by a perfumer, group members explore a palette of over 30 ingredients sourced from Grasse — the world capital of perfumery — and go home with a 50ml fragrance they created themselves. Sessions are held in groups of up to 10 people, ensuring an intimate, personalised, and truly memorable experience.
What Will You Do During the 3-Hour Workshop?
The workshop follows a clear structure designed for both beginners and fragrance enthusiasts alike. Here's what the experience looks like, step by step:
- Introduction to fragrance structure: top, heart, and base notes
- Exploring and comparing over 30 ingredients from Grasse
- Identifying your personal olfactory direction (floral, woody, citrus, oriental, etc.)
- Building your own formula using the Scent Studio app
- Refining and adjusting your composition until you achieve the desired result
- Bottling your final fragrance — 50ml — to take home with you
Why Do Ingredients from Grasse Make a Difference?
Grasse, a small town in the south of France, is recognised by UNESCO as the world capital of perfumery. Ingredients sourced from there — floral extracts, resins, mosses, and essential oils — possess a quality and sensory complexity that mass-market synthetic materials simply cannot replicate. By working with them in the workshop, participants use the same raw materials as the world's leading perfume houses.
The Scent Studio App — How Does It Help You Create Your Perfume?
Each participant has access to the Scent Studio app throughout the workshop. It works as a digital olfactory journal: it lets you log the ingredients you've tested, build and adjust your formula in real time, and save the recipe of your finished perfume. It's an intuitive tool designed to turn what might seem like a complex process into an accessible and enjoyable experience for anyone.
Who Is the Group Perfume Workshop For?
The group session is designed to work beautifully across a wide range of social contexts. It's one of the most original options for:
- Nights out with friends — a creative alternative to a typical restaurant or bar
- Couple or group anniversary celebrations
- Bridal parties and pre-wedding events
- Creative team building for workplace groups
- Experiential gifts for the people who have everything
For companies, Scent Studio also offers bespoke corporate workshops, and for private events (milestone birthdays, exclusive bridal parties), dedicated packages are available on request.
