  • 5/5 from Elisa Huang, attended Sep 2026: Loved the class and instructors! They were so nice and accommodating. Learning how to layer and adjust the scents were really fun. It wasn’t overly complicated and we just had a lot of fun with it
  • 5/5 from Kelsha White, attended Apr 2026: Marla and her team are fantastic!! The perfume blending event was a success!! From beginning to end, we loved it!! Thanks Marla!!
  • 5/5 from Shaquan Daniels, attended Mar 2026: A truly excellent experience from start to finish. Natural perfume making is a far more precise and thoughtful craft than I expected. Being able to work with high-quality essential oils and build a fragrance from the ground up was both engaging and rewarding. What stood out most was the ability to create a scent that feels personal—balanced, distinctive, and free from synthetic additives. The guidance throughout the process was clear and knowledgeable, which made the experience approachable while still feeling elevated. I left with a custom fragrance that I’m genuinely proud to wear. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who appreciates quality, craftsmanship, and a more intentional approach to fragrance.
