I was invited to join and afternoon of perfumery at the Experimental Perfume Club with The Blogger Programme with fellow bloggers and scent fans! Having lived in London for 5 years I thought I had exhausted all of its exciting new things to try. I'm always surprised to discover that there are more delights.
The EPC Lab is a working perfume creative studio located in East London. They develop fragrances for brands and individuals and provide the perfect environment for people to experiment with scents.
The EPC Lab hosts a number of monthly perfume-making workshops and one-to-one private tuition, as well as open-access perfumery sessions. If you've been following my social media for some time, you'll know I am scent crazy... I'm a die-hard Oud bather and LOVE trying new rich perfumes.
So we were invited to participate in a short perfume workshop which lasted roughly about an hour. It's long enough to make you want to learn more about perfumery, yet short enough to keep it exciting, and straight to the point. There are various options to select from online and Emanuelle (the owner and founder) has a sea of knowledge ready to share.
LE PETIT PARFUM WORKSHOP
THIS IS PERFECT if you want to create your very own bespoke scent within a limited time. During this workshop you find out your scent profile and make your own blend, this blend recipe can be then used to reorder your scent in a 50ml bottle.
This is the perfect opportunity to get your girls together and have a sophisticated day in London.
I loved the quirkiness of the Lab along with all the personalised little areas with splashes of yellow and injection of all things nature related.
WHAT DO YOU TAKE FROM LE PETIT PARFUM WORKSHOP?
• A newly awakened nose & new found perfume knowledge
• Your very own perfume-making workbook filled with fragrance facts & information
• A lab bottle filled with your own bespoke fragrance that you name on the day (take home a 12ml lab bottle & re-order 50ml bottles using your own recipe)
• Your finished perfume formula
To help each and every single one of us discover our scent profile, we were each given 9 scent notes. Some of these scents were earthy, others zesty and some leathery. We decided which scents we liked (in order of preference) and numbered them. These preferences later became the basis of our personalised perfume.
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC:
Every other Wednesdays for open-lab sessions
Two or three Saturdays a month for workshops and masterclasses
Any time of the week for one-to-one appointments
Any time during the week to welcome private groups and corporate
We are closed on Sundays and Mondays
FIND US: in East London at 4 Netil Lane, London E8 3RL, a short distance from Broadway Market & Bethnal Green underground station.
Since creating and wearing my perfume I have recieved so many compliments on my fragrance. I cannot wait to re-order mine as soon as my 12ml is all out (at the rate my friends and I are using it - its going to be soon). If you ever get the chance make sure you book yourselves into a workshop.
