A Day in the Life: Perfume Aficionado (on request only)
Your Experience
Nothing can quite whisk you away into a place of joy and serenity like the smell of a heavenly perfume. However, sometimes with the overloading number of brands out there, it can become difficult to differentiate and choose which perfume is for you. We think no one knows you better than yourself, so that is why we are giving you the chance to make your own perfume. Working with a niche independent perfumery in Covent Garden you will have a chance to sample different industry grade perfume bases blended in Grasse (the capital of perfume making) and then combine these scents to make a professional quality perfume as unique as yourself. Whilst becoming a perfumer, you will also learn the theory and science behind perfumes and allow you to sample her favourite scents from all over the world.
