This is a fun interactive informative sensory fest.
Should have brought my 13 year old but got to go home with scents and a little more clarity about what I like and confirm what I don’t like. Joseph (Teacher) let’s you get on with it and available for questions and suggestions.

The fragrance class was heaps of fun! It was very hands on and we were encouraged to be creative, but our teacher Joseph also gave us guidance and he really helped me to understand how perfumes work. His style was very relaxed and he made our small group feel at ease. The class itself was surprisingly good value because we got to take our creations home. I actually want to to do it again so I can come up with more combinations!

Had actually booked this class in as party of a hens party/event and its with my pleasure to say all the girls had thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Joseph's class was incredible and super informative and gave us a brief history of how fragrance came about and much more. Loved how we were able to create a couple of fragrances either for ourselves or for our party and found this was a great take home gift for the girls who attended the event! Joseph was also super accomodating with all the plans prior which made the booking and setting up process with such ease. Would highly recommend the class to those looking for something different and personalised! Thank you Joseph!

The studio was absolutely wonderful - it was great to get an insight into how perfume is made and dabble around and create something for ourselves - our own signature scent!
Joseph was fantastic - very helpful - passionate - clear - and listened intensively! With all the fails in the class he was able to sit down individually and solve the problems. Would definitely do again and recommend to others!

Joseph was a very passionate teacher who had a lot of knowledge on perfumes. This activity was super enjoyable and very different I would definitely recommend this class for people who are wanting something a bit unique. You get to go home with two perfumes of your own creation. It was so cool to see how different everyone's creations was. I cant wait to wear my new perfumes out.

Joseph was a great teacher. The group was very happy with this workshop. It was fun and great to take home 2 bottles of fragrance that we personally blended ourselves. Expect a lot of fun more than learning about making perfume. Joseph does give a background to perfume history and touches on the top, heart and base notes but its only a 2 hour class and most of that time appropriately goes into the blending process. Joseph will help with the end product if it needs a little more of this or that. Fun and interesting!

Joseph was charming but I felt I didn’t really learn anything new and I didn’t like the fact that most of the “oils” used were synthetic. I was not sure why there were premade fragrances eg Arpege to,which we added more oils.
The venue was nice with easy parking in the surrounding streets.

After a brief history and theory introduction it was straight in to making our own perfumes. The instructor provided good feedback on how to balance our perfumes, but otherwise let us experiment with the range of bases, perfumes and oils provided.

While Joseph was perfectly nice I was hugely disappointed with this workshop and I thought it was very expensive for what it was. I paid $100 for this class because I genuinely wanted to learn something about how to make perfume not to just throw a bunch of scents together in a bottle and hope for the best.
The class was poorly conceived - we weren't educated about how scents fall into different categories e.g. floral vs woody vs oriental, nor were we given any guidance on which scents worked well together, nor were we advised on ratios or volumes. The only scent mentioned was Jasmin and that because it was very strong to only add one drop at a time. Well what about the others?
Most of us needed to get our perfumes 'fixed' which was not surprising because we were adding in scents based on how each one smelled, not on how it would work with another scent. We queued for Joseph's help and invariably we were told to add one of his pre-mixed perfumes. Or he would say: "Do you know what you put in there? You need to repeat it." The answer is no because a) we weren't told to keep a track of what we were doing, b) weren't advised to bring a notepad and pen so that we could keep track and c) essentially told at the start of the class that ratios etc didn't matter.
The class also lacked structure and organisation. There were 13 or 14 students - too many for us to all comfortably have access to the table and scents. I'd recommend putting the base notes, heart notes and top notes on different tables so that they don't get mixed up and it would allow for better movement of people.

I got this workshop as a birthday present and I was not let down! Joseph was informative, bubbly and took the class to a new level - a proper teacher makes all the difference and he certainly made the drive from Canberra worth it. The venue was clean, large and workable for what we were doing. The treat of Turkish Delight upon arrival was also appreciated!
Although I didn't purchase this course for myself I still think it was worth the money and would buy it again and would buy it for someone else. I went with another family member but we met some lovely people so I think it is also nice to go solo and meet new people in a friendly environment.
I learnt a lot about the history of fragrance, and what scents go well together and what may be too potent. Not only did I leave knowledgeable but I left with two custom bottles and I now get complimented daily on my creations.
A charming experience which I highly recommend. Thanks Joseph you were fabulous!

Although late the class was set out to simplify the creation process in stages the paper given out helped us map out the quantities of each scent with ease. I thoroughly enjoyed the turkish delight ans was amazed we got to take home 2 bottles and create different scents.

Loved the class. Wish there were more location options maybe say Parramatta?
Good amounts of materials maybe could've had some more niche ingredients but overall great variety.
Very good value for money and the instructor was very lovely and extremely knowledgeable.
Labelling on ingredients could have been better, more scientific descriptions as options for more learning.
Would recommend to others.

Joseph the teacher was great, I think we just chose the wrong workshop as we were looking for more instruction on how to create our own fragrance/perfume, so where/what we would need to purchase post workshop in order to make at home. This information was not provided or offered and we came away not really knowing much more than when we went in. Again I think it was down to us picking the wrong workshop for our requirements.

I attended the make your own perfume class and it was terrific.
Joseph who ran the class was great and definitely had a well trained nose, he helped me perfect both perfumes that I mixed and made sure I was happy with them.
All the ingredients they had to mix with were very nice and you could tell they were of a very high quality.
I was the only male in the class but never felt out of place, I urge more men to come and have a go at making yourself a personal scent.
I actually wouldn't mind doing it again, in fact once my bottle runs out I may very well be back to try and duplicate my original flavour.
Very glad I cametop notch class

Had a great time at the make your own fragrance workshop. For me there was a good balance of theory and just getting in there and having a go. While the workshop is all about being creative some kind of guidance on what groups of fragrances we had would have helped too.

My friend and I had a terrific time with Joseph in the workshop! So much fragrances, so much fun, and Joseph has so much knowledge and experience to share! No questions is ever too hard for Joseph to answer, and there is no stuffed up that he can't fixed either (provided that we follow his instructions to begin with). The only suggestion is perhaps, to have a smaller class size or a support person, as Joseph tried so hard to give his attention to everyone of us, but overall, it was a great day and we enjoyed it so much!

I loved the perfume making class. Our teacher Joseph was very knowledgeable and helpful and encouraged us to experiment with all the scents. I made my own perfume and am so pleased with how it turned out. Since wearing my own personalized scent, I have had many compliments on its fragrance, which lasts for hours.
Making perfume is a complex art but it was so enjoyable smelling the different aromas and trying to mix them into our own personalized scent. It was a lovely way to spend 2 hours and I would certainly do this class again.

I brought my best friend to this class the week before her wedding in the hopes of making the perfume she would wear on her special day - and she did!
Joseph was very insightful and very hands on during the class. I walked away feeling very pleased with the experience. The venue is very clean, although it is on a busy road so parking might be a bit tricky. I was lucky to get there a bit early and found parking close by. I definitely would do this class again and I am super impressed with the fragrances I made. Perfect gift for the women in your life!

Absolutely loved this course and Joseph was so passionate and knowledgeable. He knew exactly what was missing in our scents to make them better, including what combination of scents worked together and what ones didn't. It was also really great to have a small class size of ~10 which meant we got lots of one-on-one help. I would highly recommend this course!

Alright, so first things first - Joseph is a nice person. There's no doubt about that. But I'm disappointed on the content of the class. I paid $109 for 2 hours long class, as I really wanted to learn how to make a perfume. But to my disappointment, 5 minutes of googling before the class gave me much more information than what Joseph told us in this class.
I expected that we would learn about the different perfume categories (floral, oriental, woody, fresh, etc.), or maybe different strength of perfumes (difference between perfume, EDP, ETD, etc.), but we didn't.
As we weren't taught about the perfume categories, everyone was just mixing whatever they liked (or hated the least, as Joseph advised us), and Joseph was "fixing" everyone's perfumes by adding his pre-mixed heart notes, so none of us can recreate what we have learned. This also meant that everyone ended up with similar oriental heavy perfumes.
We were also instructed to keep base and heart notes basically 1:1 with each other, making up almost 100% of the perfume, as Joseph wanted us to add only 2-5 drops of the top notes in our mixtures. This means that basically the top notes are not recognizable at all, as the base and heart notes take over the perfume smell already from the beginning.
During the second half of the class, we were not much productive anymore, as everyone was waiting in the queue to consult Joseph to fix their perfumes, as we were not instructed at all which scents work together and which not.
I think this class is more suitable for kids, so Joseph can get away easily with his pre-made mixtures and unstructed organization. But for me personally, it was highly disappointing.

Joseph is one of the best teachers i’ve had for perfume making. Absolute legend. Allowed me to make 3 30ml bottles of perfume today as well as the last class I participated in last year. Joseph knows what your fragrance needs to give it that extra kick. Attending this class always feels like i’m a kid in a candy store, I could honestly make fragrances all day if I was allowed to. Each class I attend always boosts my passion and motivation to become a professional perfumer. I will definitely be back in the future. Thank you Class Bento for the opportunity and thank you so much once again Joseph.

Thank you, it was really fun! Joseph started off with a brief history of perfume and some key information we needed for mixing our perfume. It's a very open class, you walk around doing your own thing and you can ask the teams questions any time. :)

We were the youngest in the class and yet we feel like we got the most out of the class and now with the knowledge we gained, not only have we made our own scent we learnt about the history behind it, but in the future we also know what we like and what to look for in other perfumes. The teaching was very supportive and we loved learning and understanding how perfumes are created and the teachers were more like mentors and we LOVED the course!

I've had an interest in perfume and fragrance for a while now, and taking this class was the first time I was able to practically play around with some fragrance notes and understand how different scents work together. Joseph and Yvonne were excellent facilitators and encouraged us all to experiment - but they were also there to help us and gave us all formulas to work with. Joseph in particular has a wealth of knowledge and helped everyone achieve the perfume they had in mind.

Yvonne and Joseph were great teachers.
Joseph is very knowledgeable with the origins of perfume. We learned a lot from his introduction.
I will say it was very overwhelming but Yvonne was floating around helping the students with deciphering which scent they need to add to get the their desired finished product.
Once we were happy with the scent we took it to Joseph. He would give you his opinion, test it on your skin to see if it works well and then sprays it as the final step.
I bought this for me and my sister as her birthday gift.
We had a lot of fun and can't wait to attend another session down the track.
We got to take home 2 lovely bottles of perfume.
Great class and I would highly recommend it.

Joseph and Yvonne were very friendly, they gave the group a good 'background' to perfume making and its history, and we got to spend 1.5 hours making our own scents! It was fun, and we now have some lovely gifts to take to relatives overseas and we can say that we actually made the perfumes ourselves which is nice :)

My mother and I had a great afternoon doing this workshop. Joseph was really lovely and extremely knowledgeable - I loved watching his face as he smelt the perfumes, it is clearly his passion. There was a change of location but this didn’t affect the class or our enjoyment if the class at all. A great gift for my mum and a fun day out. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks Joseph!

What was the teacher like?
How was the venue (if there was one)?
If materials were provided, did you like them?
Was the class good value for money?
What did you do / learn?
Joseph is a great teacher, at the start of the class, he first explained the history of perfume, which my friend and I did not know a lot about. He also ensured that everyone was happy with their perfumes and suggested ways the scent could be changed or enhanced. The venue was changed due to a fire incident, however the new location was a beautiful house that felt very homely and comforting to make the perfume in. I liked how there was various essential oils and scents to choose from, everyone was able to make 2 perfumes each. This allowed me to experiment more with the first perfume whilst getting familiar with the different scents. Overall, the class is good value for money, I had a really fun time. It was a gift from my friend, I think this a wonderful gift idea that is a very unique experience.

This class was unlike anything I have ever experience before, 5 massive gold stars. Joseph is not only passionate, but incredibly knowledgable when it comes to all things scent related. If you’re looking for a fun and interesting outing then this is for you. Looking forward to taking the eau du parfum class late in the year, and any more in depth classes which may become available. Can’t wait to wear my new beautiful signature scents.

Joseph, our teacher was friendly extremely helpful in guiding this Worksop given fifteen students descending him on simultaneously for help.
Very generous of him to have opened his own house as the workshop couldn't go ahead in the original place planned.
The Worksop had plenty of supplies and essential.oils for all of us.
While you are not going set a light in the world of perfumery, you certainly will make and take home one or two of your creations. To this end you have half dozen set formulations to start off from.
Excellent and certainly valuable introduction to the seductive world of perfume.
Highly recommend it.

The make your own perfume class was great.
First up some really interesting information on the history of perfume then an explanation about Base notes, top notes and heart notes.
Then it’s time to create, So many possibilities and if you get a bit too carried away, Joseph is happy to help you get to the scent you’re after.
You leave with two cute 30ml bottles of perfume. Two different scents of your creation.
Everyone was lovely including the other attendees. Was a simply lovely afternoon. I highly recommend it.
I wondered if the scents are all vegan as I have many vegan friends who would love this.

It was a very easy-going, informative and enjoyable workshop and everyone walked out with their own custom made scents. We both really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely recommended.

A absolutely brilliant class! Joseph & Yvonne were so knowledgable, bubbly and friendly. The class really allowed for you to be totally creative and experimental with guidance, if needed.

Thank you so much Joseph and Yvonne - you are amazing people.

I enjoyed creating my fragrance but found the process a bit confusing. Clearer instructions would have helped. Having so many little bottles on 2 tables and quite a few participants made it difficult to see all the choices and try them. I think having them set out differently would have helped, in named places for example. It was all a bit disorganised.

Enjoyable experience. Joseph and his assistant were so knowledgeable and warm. Good location, super close to Summer Hill station (around 5 mins walking). There were many choices of fragrance to choose from. The class began with perfume history and introduction of top note, heart note and last note. Joseph gave us a paper of perfume recipes that we could use as examples and tips to make a good perfume then we could go freely to make our own. Joseph and his lovely assistant also gave us suggestions based on what we want our perfume to be like, which was super helpful. Highly recommended!

The class is great for beginners and it provides you with a lot of freedom to make 2 signature scents just for you. I enjoyed the little history behind perfume and the wide variety of fragrances available and you can tell the teachers are very knowledgeable.
There was a little mix up with class numbers but it shouldn't deter as everyone had ample time to experiment and gain feedback to perfect their scents.

Although this could be quite an enjoyable class, unfortunately you seem to spend too much time 'in queue' & less time creating which is quite frustrating. This is due to the class being too full.

I expected more guidance on fragrance pairings. Not quite how I imagined it would run.
On a separate note, it seems that Class Bento makes high ratings public, while low ratings are by default ticked to go directly to management/teacher which makes these class reviews seem “rigged”. Most people will gloss over this and it’s evident they know this too.

This class was so much fun. I loved the freedom we had to play with the different oils - I thought it would be quite a controlled process, but instead, they let us experiment with the scents and be creative! We were given some guides as to what oils pair together well, and our teachers also provided one-on-one help and advice in relation to our individual perfumes. Very relaxed vibes - I also adored the location at the house - it was so poetic and elegant. My partner and I are excited to use our own specialty perfumes! We came away with two each. Great experience, highly recommend.

His historical knowledge of perfume and Chanel was fascinating we could have quizzed him about any of it and he’d have an answer. Thank you for a wonderful morning!

Thoroughly enjoyed the class; it was fun, easygoing and very fragrant! All materials were supplied andI was able to experiment with various oils and carriers from a generous selection.

I had Make Your Own Fragrance class with Kimberly Chocolates in Lilyfield.
He and two other assistant teachers were so welcoming, helpful and approachable. The location is easy to access, literally one minute away from the closest bus stop. The venue was so clean with lots of space to walk around the table with various fragrance bottles on. For beginners like me who is so passionate about scents, the ingredients provided there were just right number to explore. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to leave the venue even after the class! The best part was we were given a wonderful opportunity to experiment freely without thinking too much (I did think too much however!). It is all about pursuing olfactory pleasures whether you have formal (even a little) knowledge of perfumery or not at all. Of course some basic guidelines were given, however, what I love most was the fact that all the attendants were welcomed to try whatever fragrance composition we believed would work! Don’t worry Kimberly would give you some help at the end to balance it out. ;-)
In this class I learnt that I need to trust my own sense rather than thinking too much and just give it a shot!
I left the venue with so much fulfilment about the class as well as myself and also two beautiful original fragrances! Definitely good value and you should try his class. I already would like to go back again!

We really enjoyed our perfume, making class! My little sister loved going and getting personal feedback from Joseph and his team who are really friendly. It would’ve been great to be on able to step out for some fresh air amongst all the smells maybe halfway. It also would’ve been great to get a little bit more of a lesson on how to mix sents, rather than just having a sheet of sents we could copy.

What I expected, wouldn’t change anything in my personal opinion. The options were plenty and was a relaxed and fun mood

Really informative, hands on and interactive class. Went as a solo participant and enjoyed learning about some of the history and how different perfumes were created. Joseph was very knowledgeable and students were given free rein to be creative and experiment to create their own signature scents. Highly recommend!
