it was a very cool experience. I luv my teacher Deborah, her english is good. She explained the whole history and process very well. Just one thing make me remove 1 star, it's the store TOOOOO cold and no restroom. I guess come during the summer may not have an issue, but winter is very cold and without heat in the store, that is really hard to sit still. Anyway, overall good and different experience.

This is the second time I have done this tour. It is super interesting and so much fun! Very well organized. First time was with girlfriends, and second time with my sister-in-law and a guy friend (this is great for guys too). We ALL loved our own personal crafted scents and would all return again! Do this tour, you won’t regret it!!
Highly recommended for perfumery lovers!

This masterclass is wonderful immersion in history of perfumery and world of scents! You will get to know a story of the brand Antica Erboristeria San Simone (since 1700!) and create your very own perfume in elegant 50 ml bottle. Much gratitude to Dr. Fernanda and Debra (translator from italian to english) for unforgettable experience in the heart of magnificent Florence!
Great Experience a must do whilst in Florence

Nice antic Shop with 2 elderly charming ladies. The one explains with Passion the History of parfume development and from the Shop. It goes around 45 min. The parfume making itself is around 1 hour and 15 minutes.
The parfumemaking was very interesting. We could create our own parfume with the Help of a Doctore who give the parfume the Last Balance of the ingredients. Nice tecomnendable expirience
Beautiful experience for perfume lovers

Such an interesting morning spent learning the history of perfume in Florence. The class took place in a lovely old shop, which is run by the owner Dottore Fernanda and her assistant Debora. Il Dottore did not speak English although she understood, and Debora imparted all the knowledge to us. We sat at a table made in the 12th century to learn how to mix our own personal fragrance with Fernanda's experience and Debora's help. At the end of the morning you come away with 50mls of the perfume you have blended and the recipe. A lovely morning and money well spent. Will go back.

So much fun. I was the only one in the class so I got to work one on one with the Doctor and Carmen. They're both very sweet and welcoming and Carmen was very helpful to translate. I learned so much and got to create my own signature scent! Such a unique experience. They even took a copy of the formula to make my scent so in the future, I can order it when I run out. The shop is beautiful too.

Previous reviews indicated a room fragrance was made but we actually created our own personal fragrance. A bi-lingual assistant explained the basics of how perfumes are created and helped interpret for The Doctor. Each person selected 3-4 scents they preferred for each the bottom, middle, and top notes. The Doctor's expertise helped each person combine their preferences into their own unique scent. The class was enjoyable, relaxed, and both the assistant and The Doctor were very pleasant and took their time with us rather than rushing us through the process. Would highly recommend!

Dr Fernanda and Carmen were absolutely amazing. I purchased this as a birthday gift to my friend. We learned about the formulas for making perfume and any questions we asked were answered. The shop was so beautiful! We made out perfumes and were able to have a record kept at the store for future bottles when we finish the one we brought home. The shop will make my perfume and ship it to me, now that is a wonderful service that they offer!!!!! After our class we went out for a cappuccino. A truly wonderful experience and I would recommend this to anyone interested in perfume!!!!!

One of the best experiences of our three weeks. The lady who helped my daughter and I create the perfumes of our dreams was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, fun, supportive and in the end we have not only an experience together we will never forget but our own signature scents I hope to buy and buy again.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
