What you actually make
The point of the session is not a souvenir spritz. You compose a full 50 ml perfume, bottle and packaging included, with all raw materials covered in the booking. Fifty millilitres is a real bottle, the size you would buy at a counter, and it goes home with you the same day.
The detail that sets this workshop apart: if you keep your formula, you can reorder your scent later. Your blend is written down as you build it, so the perfume you make in Paris does not have to end when the bottle runs out.
How the 1 hour 30 minutes runs
The operator does not publish a minute-by-minute schedule, so here is the shape a guided scent-creation session takes, from Antoine's experience leading workshops in this craft since 2022. The fixed points, the arrival, the teacher, the materials and the bottle, are the listing's own.
Arrive 10 minutes early
Meet in front of the door at 7 Rue Vineuse, a short walk from Trocadéro. The listing asks for a 10-minute head start so the session begins on time.
Meet your perfumer
An experienced teacher runs the session; the listing currently names instructor Marina Jung. With eight people at most, you get real attention rather than a lecture.
Smell through the fragrance families
Guided workshops start with orientation: citrus, florals, woods, ambers. You learn which families your nose keeps returning to before you commit to anything.
Understand top, heart and base notes
A perfume unfolds in layers. The bright opening fades into the heart, and the base is what stays on your skin hours later. Getting this structure right is most of the craft.
Blend your formula
You measure and combine raw materials, testing as you go, until the blend smells like the idea you started with. Every material you need is included.
Bottle it and keep the formula
Your perfume goes into its 50 ml bottle with packaging, and the written formula makes a reorder possible later.
Who it suits
You do not need any perfume background. The session is built around guidance, which makes it a natural fit for first-timers, couples looking for something to make together, and anyone who wants a Paris souvenir that no shop sells. The listing states that most travelers can participate.
Two practical notes from the listing, plainly: the venue is not wheelchair accessible, and the session is offered in English. If you need another language, check the options shown in the Viator booking flow before you book. The studio is near public transportation, so getting there without a car is straightforward.
A note from Antoine
Full honesty: I lead perfume workshops in Paris myself, but I do not teach this one. The instructor named on the listing is Marina Jung, and the figures on this page are the operator's, not mine. What I bring is the craft side: I have guided more than 1,000 participants through scent creation by my own count since 2022, so I know what separates a good session from a forgettable one. Small groups, real raw materials, a full-size bottle and a kept formula are exactly the things I would look for, and this listing has all four.

Questions about this workshop
How long does the workshop take?
About 1 hour 30 minutes, plus the 10 minutes early the listing asks you to arrive. It is long enough to smell widely and blend carefully without eating a whole Paris day.
How many people are in a session?
Eight at most. That cap is on the listing, and it is why the teacher can work with each person's blend rather than presenting to a room.
What do I take home?
A 50 ml bottle of the perfume you composed, with its packaging. All raw materials are included in the booking, so there is nothing extra to buy in the studio.
Can I get my perfume again after the trip?
Yes, if you keep your formula. The blend you build is recorded, and the listing states you can reorder your scent later. Keep that formula safe.
What does it cost?
The live price for your date and currency is shown on the operator's official Viator listing. Prices like this move with dates and currencies, so we point you to the live figure instead of printing one that could go stale.
What if my plans change?
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the session, and you get confirmation at the time of booking. Inside 24 hours, the listing's standard terms apply.
Is the workshop accessible?
The listing states that most travelers can participate, but the venue is not wheelchair accessible. It is near public transportation, which makes arriving without a car easy.
More practical answers, including the brand-house alternatives, are on the FAQ page and in the workshop comparison.

The live price and open times for your date are on the operator's official Viator listing. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before, and sessions take eight people at most.
