  • 5/5 from Marizza Macabagdal, attended Oct 2026: Had such a lovely time at Create Essence with my best friend last Sunday! We both enjoyed the perfume-making experience, and we’re so happy with how our perfumes turned out. They smell so good! It was a fun and memorable bonding experience. Definitely worth it!
  • 5/5 from Liza, attended Oct 2026: I went for a social media collaboration but I was surprised with how much I loved this…probably one of the best activities we’ve ever done. The hosts are so sweet and welcoming. The whole setup is smooth and easy to follow. I could honestly spend hours here! It’s fun and the perfect activity to bring your friends and family to!
  • 5/5 from Gavin Freebairn, attended Oct 2026: Teachers were super welcoming and helpful. They made everything really clear and the instructions made the whole process very straightforward! Felt confident creating the fragrances the whole time and defnitely a great activity to do with a loved one! 10/10
  • 5/5 from Sally, attended Sep 2026: Such a fun and unique experience! We loved being able to take our time exploring all the different scents and creating our own completely personalised perfumes from scratch. The whole process was easy to follow, relaxed and such a lovely way to spend an afternoon. I especially loved leaving with a fragrance that feels completely my own. Such a great Brisbane date or activity with a friend!
  • 5/5 from Claire, attended Sep 2026: Such a fun, unique & relaxing experience with great instructions given.
  • 5/5 from Han Jun Kim, attended Sep 2026: Very relaxed environment. Instructions were easy to follow and the staff were so very nice and friendly. The scents came out very nicely!

  • 5/5 from Tariq Hadzich, attended Sep 2026: We absolutely loved it, super unique experience and the best Sunday date night activity!!
  • 5/5 from Kate Gardiner, attended Sep 2026: My husband and I had the most amazing time making perfumes for each other! The staff were very friendly, happy to answer any question. The perfume making itself was easy to understand and comprehensive, honestly I think the perfumes we made are the best we’ve both ever smelled. I would recommend to anyone, it’s so much more intimate to make a loved one a scent than to just buy one from a shop. Thank you so much, we had an amazing time!
  • 5/5 from Adrian Garbellini, attended Sep 2026: This was a lovely and enjoyable class. Also clove smelt terrible.
  • 4/5 from Lindy Pickford, attended Sep 2026: It wasn't clear that it was self-guided so I expected a teacher. Maybe a small introductory speech would make it better. The time allocated was a bit small so I felt a bit rushed. You had to read quickly and get on to the job without any hesitation. It would have felt more friendly to be introduced to the other participants rather than no interaction. It was nice to receive some water. The on-site staff were friendly and pleasant but did not introduce themselves or have name tags which makes it awkward getting their attention.
