Itinerary
Meet your master perfumer at Antica Erboristeria San Simone and get ready for a sensory experience!
The lesson will take place in a historic, atmospheric workshop dating back to 1700. In centuries of experience this historic lab has mixed the scientific knowledge of medical care together with the empirical knowledge of the healing properties of herbs, flowers and fruits.
You will relive the magical atmosphere of alchemists and apothecaries residing in Florence during the Renaissance period, surrounded by unique glassware, ampules and rare essences. Following the historical footprints of Catherine de Medici and René le Florentine, your master perfumer will guide you through the process which will ultimately lead to the creation of your unique personal fragrance.
At the end of the workshop you will be rewarded with a 30ml bottle of your own personalized perfume. Each participant will also receive a certificate as a memory of the day. This truly authentic experience is not to be missed.

Really enjoyed this experience. The shop is beautiful and the woman who ran the class was adorable, sweet and patient. We had our three teenage boys with us and they also liked this class. Leaving with a personalized bottle of perfume/cologne was a major plus.
The only drawback was that there was 15+ people and only one instructor but the class still managed to run well.
Overall, would recommend for families with kids over 12.

This was by far the most precious and meaningful activity I have done! I had the chance to create my own scent, which turned out amazing. It was a lovely small group of six, and we all took our time crafting our scents. In the end, we each received a cute certificate, which was a nice touch. Now, I have to wait for 20 days before I can use it. I am so excited!!

Loved our hostess. I can't say I learned much to repeat the process of perfume making. It was a nice social time. Especially on a rainy day.
