Make Your Own Perfume Together in Christchurch

A date idea you'll remember every time you wear it.

Looking for something different to do together in Christchurch?

At our studio in the Arts Centre, you each design, blend and bottle your own perfume, side by side, in about an hour.

You name it, print your own label, and walk out with a bottle of something that is entirely yours.

No class times and no waiting for a group. Just drop in or book a time that suits you.

Perfect for

- Couples: a date that's creative, a little playful and gets you talking.

- Friends: a catch-up with something to show for it.

- Parents and kids: a birthday treat for all ages, with children 14 and under from $55.

- Small groups of three or four: compare notes, smell each other's creations and argue about names.

Make one for each other

For a twist, make a perfume for your partner or friend instead of yourself. Choose the notes you think suit them, name it after them, and swap bottles at the end.

How it works

1. We introduce our design process and 30 components to start from.

2. You explore fragrance notes and build your blend, with our team on hand to help. You can optionally add custom notes from our collection of 250 additional special components.

3. We supervise the mixing and bottling.

4. You name your perfume and print a personalised label.

5. We save your recipe, so you can re-order it whenever you like.
