Hi, we’re Gloria and Calvino, the founders of Melscen Lab, a Melbourne-based fragrance studio where creativity, scent and personal storytelling come together.
Our journey into perfume began with a shared fascination with the emotional power of scent. A fragrance can bring back a memory in seconds, change the atmosphere of a room, make us feel more confident, calm or connected — and we became passionate about understanding how individual ingredients could be blended to create something completely personal.
What started as curiosity gradually became our craft and our business.
Over the years, we have developed hundreds of fragrance concepts and formulas, worked with emerging brands and private clients, and explored everything from fine fragrance and perfume oils to custom scent development. Through Melscen Lab, we combine the creative world of artisan perfumery with hands-on experimentation, making fragrance more approachable for people who may have never imagined they could create their own perfume.
Why We Love Teaching
For us, teaching perfume is about much more than explaining fragrance notes.
One of our favourite moments is watching someone smell an ingredient and suddenly realise, “This reminds me of my childhood, ” or “This smells exactly like a place I used to love.”
Scent is incredibly personal. There is no single “correct” perfume — and that’s what makes our workshops so special.
We love creating a relaxed, welcoming environment where people can slow down, explore different scents, trust their instincts and experiment without pressure. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already a fragrance lover, our workshops are designed to help you discover your own scent personality and create something that genuinely feels like you.
Our Experience
Between us, we bring years of hands-on experience in fragrance development, creative formulation and customer experiences.
Through Melscen Lab, we have:
* Developed hundreds of fragrance formulas and scent concepts
* Worked with emerging perfume brands and private clients on custom fragrance projects
* Created bespoke perfumes for customers looking for something deeply personal and unique
* Hosted perfume-making workshops, private events and group experiences
* Welcomed people from all backgrounds — from complete beginners to passionate fragrance lovers
* Combined creative fragrance education with real-world experience in perfume development and production
What we’re most proud of, however, is the personal connection people have with the fragrances they create. Many of our guests arrive saying they “don’t know anything about perfume, ” and leave with a scent they’ve created themselves — along with a completely new appreciation for how fragrance works.
Our Workshops at South Melbourne Market
We’re excited to bring our perfume-making experiences to South Melbourne Market — one of Melbourne’s most vibrant and creative community spaces.
Our workshops are designed to be fun, interactive and personal. Guests will explore a carefully curated collection of fragrance ingredients, learn the basics of perfume structure, discover different scent families and blend their own unique fragrance to take home.
Whether you’re looking for a creative weekend activity, a unique date idea, a birthday celebration, a bridal shower or team experience, we want every guest to leave with more than just a bottle of perfume.
We want them to leave with a memory.
Because in the end, perfume isn’t just something you wear.
It’s a story you create — and we’re excited to help you tell yours.
