The Scentâme Workshop · London
Composed in London.
Worn only by you.
A guided afternoon in our London workshop, led by our team and a library of professional materials. Leave with a bottle nobody else on earth will ever wear — and the formula, kept on file for life.
The house of personal fragrance
A seat at the perfumer’s bench
Scentâme was founded to give anyone a seat at the perfumer’s bench. Our workshops are developed and taught by our perfumers, built on the materials and methods used by the great fragrance houses, and kept deliberately intimate. You don’t come here to learn about perfume. You come here to make one.
The workshops, in detail
Three ways to compose
Perfume Making - Beginners
Your first visit to the workshop — no perfumery experience needed, just a curious nose and a couple of hours. We walk you through a curated library of naturals and the architecture of a fragrance. You leave with a finished eau de parfum nobody else owns, the formula kept on file for life.
- Smell your way through a curated library — citrus, floral, woody, amber and fresh families — guided by one of our perfumers
- Learn the architecture of a fragrance: top, heart and base, the way professionals compose
- Blend, test and finalise a full eau de parfum that is entirely yours
- Leave with your finished bottle, a formula card, and your formula on file so you can reorder for life
Best for
Birthdays, hen parties, bridal groups, gifts, anyone curious about perfumery

Perfume Making - Advanced
A longer, deeper afternoon for guests who want more than an introduction. Advanced leans into rare and precious naturals — jasmine sambac, rose absolute, oud, sandalwood — and the craft of building accords. You leave with a perfume that holds its own next to anything on your shelf.
- Work with rare naturals and artisanal absolutes that rarely make it outside the industry
- Learn how perfumers build a single accord — rose, oud, leather, amber — from many materials into one
- Compose, refine and balance a full eau de parfum, with a second blotter trial to push your direction
- Finish with a one-to-one debrief on your formula and where to take it from here
Best for
Returning guests, fragrance enthusiasts, refining a signature scent, serious gifts

Perfume Making - Masterclass
Our most serious tier. Aroma-chemicals alongside naturals, lab-grade scales, and the way professional perfumers actually work. Smaller groups, more bench time, real technique. For aspiring perfumers, indie founders and serious collectors — not a first visit.
- Work with the full modern palette — naturals AND the aroma-chemicals that define contemporary perfumery
- Weigh on a 0.001 g lab balance, iterate by formula percentage, and read a brief the way it lands on a perfumer’s desk
- Compose a structured eau de parfum with commercial bones, with guidance on how it would scale to production
- Leave with your bottle, a typed formula card, your lab notes, and a one-to-one critique
Best for
Experienced noses, indie brand founders, collectors, anyone considering perfumery seriously

Led by our perfumers
Every session, a perfumer at the bench
Every Scentâme workshop is taught by one of our working perfumers. We keep the table small and the expertise at the bench — so every question is answered, every accord is refined with you, and every bottle that leaves with you has been touched by a professional.
Our workshops are developed around the materials and methods used at the great fragrance houses. No pre-mixed kits. No shortcuts. A real composition, at professional concentration, weighed and balanced the way perfumers work in a lab.

Good to know
Frequently asked
Not for a moment. The Beginner Workshop is designed for guests with zero experience and is our most-booked session. You'll be guided through every step by one of our perfumers, and leave with a finished bottle you're genuinely proud of.
A real eau de parfum, composed to professional concentration, with your formula kept on file so you can reorder it. We use the same raw materials, methods and equipment you'd find in a working perfumery lab — not pre-mixed kits.
