A day making perfume at our studio

Perfume days for people with a little experience or a lot of enthusiasm (or both).

Small groups, with friendly guidance from Sarah.

Downstairs at our studio is for making fragrances, and here at Raynham Road we now have a dedicated workshop room upstairs. As well as whole days, we also run afternoon new-to-perfume events both with a maxiumum of twelve people. (Email us if you're not sure which one will be best.) 

"One day in the studio is not enough, I need to go back soon. Best thing ever for any perfume lover!" Monique Rausch.

You have morning and afternoon sessions with access to our own materials, both natural and synthetic. You'll take away a 30ml bottle of finished fragrance*, and all your experimental blends too.

You'll smell a range of materials and learn how to blend them. It can be quite hard work - lots to learn - but you get as much help and guidance as you need from 4160Tuesdays' own indie perfumer, Sarah McCartney.

The morning

We arrive between 10.30 and 11 for a drink and introductory chat. Some people travel a long way to get here, so we allow time for arriving and settling in. You'll smell a carefully curated range of perfumery materials, both naturals and synthetics, and learn they they work differently within a fragrance blend.

We generally head out for lunch around 1.20. There are cafés, pubs, restaurants and shops minutes from the studio.

The afternoon 2 ish – 4.30 ish (sometimes later...)

Blend a scent of your own, using professional perfumery materials. The session includes all materials and equipment, plus tea, coffee, fruit, cake, unusual cordials and a 30ml bottle of your own individual perfume. (We open a bottle or two of champagne at the end.)

Cost including refreshments and your bottle of perfume  : £150

*The formulas are yours to do whatever you like with, and if you need more of your fragrance, you can photograph it and we'll make it up for you.

Cancelling: Ts & Cs

We realise that things crop up that people weren't planning for, but our workshops sell out, and we can't always resell spaces at short notice - although we do try. 

If you cancel 30 days or more before your workshop we will refund you completely.

If you cancel between 14 and 28 days beforehand, we will move to you to later date.

If you cancel within 14 days, you can pass your seat on to someone else, or you can spend the money on our perfume. Fair's fair.
