The Perfume Studio - Nottingham Reviews 8

This experience was so informative and quite a unique experience to take part in. Who knew how interesting it was. Bought the experience for myself and 2 others and we all came away with our own wonderful perfumes which were all very different.

I feel bad giving 4 stars but we do have 1 big issue about the day, it was booked from 11-1 and it was so rushed, an extra hour would make it much less rushed & a nicer experience because Carolyn only had 2 hours to get through her spiel, it felt very regimented & we couldn’t ask questions without being told “can I just get through this bit” or “I’ve got a lot to get through” we also didn’t stop for a beverage which again would of made the experience so much nicer (baring in mind most of these experiences were a Christmas or birthday present) I feel the ladies & gentlemen that were there would of appreciated a drink in between & time to chat, after the experience we managed to engage with the other tables & it was so nice & chilled (but this wasn’t within the “experience”) if you could offer an extra hour & it be more chilled & not as regimented it would be 5 stars (I also would imagine this is the sort of thing someone would book for a hen party & it would be flat as a pancake with how regimented it was & not being able to laugh & chat) because other than above mentioned the actual experience of making your own scent, the ingredients, the information, all of that was brilliant & we all came home with a scent of our own which we absolutely love

Great experience purchased for my sister’s birthday.
The explanation of the top, middle and bottom notes was very interesting and we thoroughly enjoyed designing our bespoke fragrances
Really good value and brillant fun .

My experience was a birthday gift from my daughter and I found the whole thing delightful. The people who were instructing the group were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The other attendees were also friendly and we enjoyed discussing our preferences and ideas together. I would definitely recommend this as a treat for anyone who likes perfume/after shave.

A really enlightening couple of hours learning how to build layers of scents. We were taken through the various base, middle and top notes of a perfume and asked to nix our own selection.
Interesting how some of the fragrances were rejected on their own but when combined with others were perfect.
There were 25 people on our experience so the room was a little small. It would have helped to have something to "clear the nostril" as you do when port or wine tasting as by the end all the scents sort of blended into each other.
Overall an enjoyable and infornative couple of hours.

It was an interesting afternoon learnt loads about perfume , particularly liked how examples were given of perfumes you could buy with a particular scent as I never know where to start . Could upgrade to bigger bottles but no hard sell . A room with endows would be better the smell got a bit intense . Only negative I’ve found the perfume I made does not seem to last long on the skin so not sure I d order more

Completely absorbing 2 hours of information, and sampling. Super to come away with a very unique and wearable unique fragrance.

Absolutely brilliant experience that I have wanted to do for ages, learned so much about how different notes in perfumes can work together and made a lovely perfume from my favourites! The perfumists were lovely and very knowledgeable too.
