3 hours

Class size 1 to 6 (public classes), 4 to 10

  $139 ($50 per class surcharge applies for private classes) (Afterpay available)

Step into the world of perfumery and create a fragrance that is uniquely yours in this three-hour guided experience at BOHSEM Perfume Atelier.
You’ll begin by exploring more than 50 carefully selected perfumery materials, from bright citrus and delicate florals to rich woods and warm amber notes. Along the way, you’ll learn the fundamentals of fragrance composition and discover how different materials work together to shape a scent.
Rather than following a set formula, you’ll be encouraged to trust your own sense of smell and explore the notes you naturally connect with. With personal guidance throughout the session, you’ll experiment with different combinations and proportions to create three individual trial blends, refining your ideas as you go.
Once you’ve found the composition that feels right for you, you’ll create your final fragrance as a 30ml Eau de Parfum, complete with a personalised label to take home.
Your unique formula will also be archived by BOHSEM, allowing you to reorder your fragrance in the future.
No previous experience is needed. Whether you already love perfume or are simply curious about how fragrance is made, you’ll be guided through the process step by step, with plenty of room to explore, experiment and create at your own pace.

Recent reviews of Perfume Making Workshop

  • 5/5 from Emily Kinsella, attended Oct 2026: This was a great 3 hours spent trying lots of scents and mixing our own perfume. We had many many scents between two, so we didn’t have to wait for samples to be available in the class. Teacher Molly was a great help explaining the structure of a perfume, and helping us to refine our trials to add complexity. We left with a bottle of our perfume with personalised label and a designer lid we chose from a selection.

My interest in perfumery began with a simple love of fragrance. For years, I explored fragrances from a wide range of perfume houses, always drawn to scents that felt personal — those that reminded me of a particular place, person or moment.
Over time, I became increasingly curious about what goes into a fragrance and how individual materials come together to create something so personal. That curiosity led me to study perfumery, and I later received my certification from the Association Française des Fragrances du Monde (AFFM).
I founded BOHSEM around a simple idea: the scent that resonates with you is the scent that belongs to you.
What I enjoy most about teaching is seeing how differently people experience scent. The same material can remind one person of a childhood memory and someone else of a garden, a holiday or a person they love. There are no right or wrong preferences, and you don't need any previous knowledge of perfume to create something that feels entirely your own.
In my workshops, I introduce guests to more than 50 carefully selected perfumery materials and the fundamentals of fragrance composition. From there, we smell, experiment and refine together. Each guest creates three individual trial blends before developing their final fragrance, with plenty of guidance along the way.
For me, the best part is seeing someone smell their finished perfume and realise they've created something that genuinely feels like their own.
