Explore the scent library

Explore the Scent Library

Smell your way through the scent collection of almost 50 base notes and essential oils, and notice what naturally draws you in. Take your time, follow and cultivate your intuition while sharing favorites with the people around you.


Build your blend

Build Your Blend

Layer and play with different combinations to create a scent that feels balanced and uniquely yours. I’ll offer guidance wherever you need it, but give you space to follow your own creative instincts to experiment freely.


Refine your formula

Refine Your Formula

Test your blend, then learn how to identify what it needs: more depth, brightness, softness, contrast or restraint. We’ll make thoughtful adjustments together, refining the proportions until the scent feels balanced, dimensional and true to what you imagined.


Finish your fragrance

Finish Your Fragrance

Once your formula is complete, we’ll scale it into your finished perfume, body oil or both. Name your scent and create a personalized label before bottling your one-of-a-kind fragrance to take home.


Important note for private requests: Due to Nov-Dec being extremely in demand, private requests on the weekend MUST have a 4-guest minimum. We apologize for any inconvenience.
In this intimate, hands-on workshop, you’ll be guided through the art of scent blending—learning how to layer notes, build depth, and craft a scent that feels uniquely yours. A creative, grounding experience designed to bring people together.
What’s included:
  • A 2-hour intuitive experience exploring scent families, note layering, and balance.
  • A lightweight nourishing oil base that carries fragrance beautifully on the skin.
  • Access to almost 50 premium base notes to design your blend –– floral & soft, fruity & bright, fresh & green, woodsy & earthy, or warm & sweet.
  • Hands-on guidance as you develop your own signature scent, with space to experiment, refine, and follow your intuition.
  • A custom 10ml roller perfume OR 2-oz body oil finished with a personalized label
  • Option to upgrade to a 30 ml perfume spray or 4 oz body oil
  • Option to create additional products at a discounted workshop rate
  • Complimentary sparkling refreshments.
Private workshops are especially lovely for couples and small groups looking for a creative activity that doesn’t take up the whole day. Parties of two typically complete the experience in about 1.5 hours, making it an easy date, anniversary activity, or spontaneous afternoon together. You’ll still have plenty of time to explore the scent library, experiment with your blends, and create something personal to take home.
Larger groups tend to move at a more leisurely pace and may use the full 2-hour workshop time.
This workshop is also perfect for team bonding, client gifting, or brand activations. We offer a deeply discounted rate for guests 20+ and will create professionally designed printed labels with your logo and more. Feel free to request a private booking and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Outside food and beverages are welcome! Please note that any food, drinks, decorations, trash, or spills brought in by your party must be cleaned up before leaving. A $50 cleaning fee will apply if additional cleanup is required.
Travel within LA is included for parties booking for 8+, otherwise a $50 travel fee applies. Travel outside of LA will incur a fee depending on distance. Please message me to inquire.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 4 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

Recent reviews of Perfume Making Class

  • 5/5 from Tristan Shelby, attended Oct 2026: Super fun class with free rein to create any scent we wanted. There was a ton of options when it came to choosing different scents to blend and they were all categorized so we could easily tell which scent family they belonged to. Everyone in the class was able to share with each other and give recommendations and at the end we got to name our scent and it came in a cute bottle with our name on there. Would definitely recommend and take this class again just for fun!
  • 5/5 from Ciara Monaghan, attended Sep 2026: Teacher was very informative but simultaneously let my friends & I explore the scents on our own & trust our intuitions. She was very flexible scheduling and communicated quickly about our time changing requests. Parking is slightly tricky (at least in the afternoon) so def show up earlier than on time to seek out a spot. Overall the studio had a great vibe and loved being hosted here.
  • 5/5 from Valencia Silva, attended Sep 2026: Class was great and the teacher Ms Dewey was very professional and informative. 10/10 I would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Kristen Ileen, attended Sep 2026: Dewy is an amazing guide I appreciate how she encourages you to make your scent personal.
  • 5/5 from Sheree E Carr, attended Sep 2026: Duwie was great!!! Attentive and listened to all of our questions and concerns. We could not have asked for better.
  • 5/5 from Kim, attended Sep 2026: Dewy was very helpful & intentive
  • 5/5 from Kimberly Bolaoen, attended Aug 2026: I booked the perfume making class on a whim when I stumbled upon it online because my partner and I have a love for discovering new scents and it could not have gone any better!
  • 5/5 from Brittany Trigg, attended Jul 2026: Came with three of my girlfriends and we had such a great time! The class was so much fun! Dewey is so sweet and educated on scent combos! We left feeling accomplished and smelling great! Thank you Dewey!!
  • 5/5 from Sophia Onadja, attended Jul 2026: Loved our teacher, Dewy!
  • 5/5 from Bryant Ward, attended Jul 2026: Dewy is fantastic. The small, intimate class let us take our time finding our signature scent in a warm, welcoming environment. I learned so much, love the custom fragrance I took home, and can't wait for the next class.
  • 5/5 from Daria Tiupina, attended Jun 2026: Such a lovely workshop where you get to explore different scents and create a perfume or body oil with a fragrance you truly love. I loved the atmosphere of the small group, the clean and beautiful studio, the wonderful instructor, and the connection with other people. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves scents and enjoys learning something new.
  • 5/5 from Shannon Faltys, attended Jun 2026: This was such a fun experience! My friends and I celebrated a birthday and we were able to book a private class. Duwie was so patient and fun to learn from. She allowed us to use our creative freedom to take time with our scents and give us suggestions with her expert nose when we felt stuck. We event got to choose our own font for our digital printed labels, which satisfied our aesthetic preferences. A lot of us struggled to land on one scent so she actually let us purchase a second scent during the session time if we wanted to. Highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to create a daily scent you would actually wear!
  • 5/5 from Larry Hammond, attended May 2026: We thoroughly enjoyed the perfume making class. It is a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The instructor was fantastic! She guided the class with giving flexibility and grace. The class was a wonderful Mother’s Day activity. We highly recommend it and will do again!
  • 5/5 from Jose Diesel, attended Apr 2026: Great class! Very fun and relaxing vibe. 10/10 would do it again.

Hi! I’m Duwie, the maker behind Dewy Monday, a low-waste, plant-based skincare brand born from my love of simplicity, ritual, and creativity. I started making soap and body care in a small bedroom in 2020, mostly as a way to slow down and reconnect with my hands after long days spent behind a screen. What began as a personal creative outlet quickly turned into something much more—a way to help others find calm and care in their everyday routines.
Teaching came naturally after that. I love creating spaces where people can play, learn, and connect, whether they’re blending body oils or swirling colors into soap. My favorite part of every class is watching strangers turn into friends over shared laughter and conversation. It reminds me that creativity is never just about the product—it’s about people.
I’ve hosted workshops for both private groups and the public, focusing on natural soapmaking and custom skincare formulation. Every class is designed to be approachable, relaxing, and a little magical...an experience that leaves you with something beautiful you made yourself.
When I’m not teaching, I run Dewy Monday full-time, handcrafting small-batch soaps, face oils, and body care that celebrate thoughtful living. My work has been featured at artisan markets and stores in Southern California and New York, and my products have found a loyal community of customers who value sustainability and softness in equal measure.
I can’t wait to share that same energy in my workshops—with plenty of good smells, learning, laughter, and connection along the way.
