Summary: Arielle’s workshop was a refreshing and fun activity, and my first time! I not only learned basics of scents, but this workshop turned me into somewhat of an enthusiast for scents, understanding its composition and exploring why different scents resonates with me ! (I ask about bergamot every store I go to😅😅) I already have a second session planned and would recommend you to try this workshop, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Summary: My brother gifted me this workshop for my birthday, and it turned out to be such a lasting gift. I now wear a scent that feels entirely my own- and the compliments haven’t stopped. More than that, I left with a trained nose and a deeper understanding of fragrance. It’s like learning a secret language. The pre-made scents are stunning too (Rijksmuseum is my personal staple). But the real magic? Arielle. She’s the soul of the workshop—grounded, passionate, and impossibly cool. You can’t bottle what she brings. This isn’t just a class; it’s an inspiring experience I’d recommend to anyone.
