“I just attended the 'Prestige Workshop'. Highly recommended,and if you can afford it, go for that 2h course over the shorter ones, as time just flies by and it is so absorving you just forget about it. Everything just perfect, great setup and ambience, huge selection of materials to choose from (all predilluted to edp so you can readily prepare your perfume) and some drinks and gourmanderies to keep the creative flow ;) the perfumist is a top professional, I was just blown away when she started suggesting combinations of strips of my preferred components, each one was a potentially great perfume, all of them unique and full of personality.…”
