What to expect

This fragrance workshop in the historic center of Rennes begins with a short presentation on the basics of natural perfumery. You will explore the history, extraction methods, and structure of a fragrance—top, heart, and base notes—through a practical and accessible approach.

The session moves into olfactory exploration. Participants smell and assess a curated range of natural materials, including citrus, floral, woody, and resinous ingredients. You’ll learn how each element interacts and evolves over time.

With expert guidance from Amanda, a perfumer trained in Grasse, you will select the ingredients that suit your preferences. She provides technical advice on dosage and balance, helping you blend your own formula. While structured, the process leaves room for creativity and personal interpretation.

You will then prepare your blend step-by-step and bottle your fragrance. At the end of the session, you leave with a 50 ml bottle. You also receive a formula sheet with the details of your composition.

This perfume workshop offers a rare opportunity to gain insight into the perfumer’s craft while engaging your senses. It’s suited for those looking to create their own perfume in Brittany, and for anyone curious about how natural perfumes are developed.

The session takes place in small groups for better interaction and personalised guidance. It is an informative and practical experience in a calm, well-equipped setting.
