Love the idea of customising your own scents? Scents can be an extension of our character, style and mood. Whether you’re a perfume enthusiast or simply looking for a fun date idea, a perfume workshop is an experience like no other. Get to know what goes into a perfume, how scents are created and extracted and much more. And of course, you get to bring home your very own customised scents with these four perfume workshop in Singapore!
1. Jetaime Perfume Workshop
One of Singapore’s first perfume workshops, Jetaime boasts an impressive five-star rating on Google! They’re also known for their unique orchid scented oils, which are notoriously hard to extract. Bring your BFF or bae along for the perfume workshop ($125 per pax) where you get a two-hour perfume workshop experience, two 10ml perfume samples and one 100ml customised perfume blend each. Book a week in advance and your bottle can also be engraved with your names beforehand!
2. Maison 21G
Haute Couture perfumery house Maison 21G specialises in bespoke scents using only clean, vegan and sustainably sourced ingredients, healthy for your skin and the planet. You can either get your customised scent online by taking a questionnaire, or go for their private workshop ($160 per pax) for a more interactive experience. Couples may want to sign up for the Love Atelier ($380 per couple) where you and your partner will not only create tailored scents for yourself, but also a shared perfume that represents your shared journey together!
3. Sifr Aromatics
Helmed by third-generation perfumer Johari Kazura, who was inspired to explore beyond traditional perfumery, Sifr Aromatics is housed in a 19th century heritage shophouse on Arab Street. The creations are heavily inspired by classic scents of the old world, and you can book a custom perfume consultation ($250 - $500) to create your custom scent in a 90 minutes consultation. Or, learn more about what it’s like to be a perfumer and how to infuse base notes, mid-notes and finishing notes to create your own distinct perfume blend in a premium private workshop ($250 per pax)!
4. Scentopia
Scentopia is a new attraction in Sentosa, and it is also the sister brand of Jetaime Perfume Workshop as well as perfume label Singapore Memories. What’s fun about them is that they also feature AR exhibits! While their perfume workshop ($125 per pax) isn’t as detailed as the other local perfume workshops, but if you’re simply looking for an entertaining date idea or friends outing, then Scentopia is a fun one to try!
