Summary: This perfume glass was the perfect birthday treat during the August heat wave of 2025. The class was taught by an amazing woman and the perfume was made by a younger woman who knew just the right amount of each sent to put in to create a memorable and personalized perfume. They send you home with your bottle which I have smelled every night since I got back from my trip. I went solo but ended up making friends during the experience. I also bought soap and cream to bring back to America which smell and feel amazing. I would recommend this to any couple individual or family looking for something fun and different to do while on vacation in historical Florence!
