As part of Pays de Grasse Tourisme's “Chemins Parfumés” (Fragrance Trails) program, enjoy a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of perfume formulation. Guided by Hélène, an independent perfume creator, who will reveal the basics of fragrance composition, treat yourself to an exclusive experience with the queen of flowers. This small-group workshop invites you to uncover the secrets of the Centifolia rose and to create your own fragrance blend, in an atmosphere of discussion and discovery.
YOUR EXPERIENCE STEP BY STEP
Understanding the fundamentals
Your immersive experience begins with an introduction to the principles of haute parfumerie. You will learn about the main olfactory families, the exceptional raw materials, and the architectural structure of a perfume, from its light top notes to the depth of its base notes, not to mention the essential concept of accord.
Explore, Formulate & Fine-Tune
Time for sensory experimentation. You will smell and learn to describe the precious molecules that make up the Rose Centifolia accord. Guided step by step by Hélène, you will combine these notes to create your first experiments. Together, we will assess the balance and coherence of your blend before adjusting the proportions to achieve a perfect final version.
Enrichment & Final Creation
To add depth and character to your creation, a secondary base note can be added, transforming your simple accord into a complex and sophisticated fragrance. You will leave with your unique creation, presented in an elegant, custom 30 ml bottle.
