Perfume Making Class

Learn how to make your own perfume in Mountain View.



2.5 hours Location Mountain View Class size 1 to 8 guests   $125

Looking for unique things to do in the San Francisco Bay Area? You don’t have to be a celebrity to make your own fragrance. Discover how to make your own custom perfume or cologne with Opal’z in Mountain View. This could be an exciting new hobby, the special scent for your wedding day, a made-by-you addition to your collection, or a great gift!
Throughout the class, you'll be led by a friendly teacher, who will show you how to create your signature blend using quality fragrance and essential oils, and aroma blends. You will be seated, where all the materials you need to make your own unique creation will be supplied. The teacher will lead you through the different phases of this class step-by-step and show you all the necessary concepts as you work towards blending your own unique scent.
You'll have your choice of perfume bottles from 15 ml to 60 ml with either an oil base or alcohol spray.
At the end of this hands-on workshop, you’ll have a written formula that you can use to recreate your signature scent again and again with ease. You’ll also choose a label for your creation, give it a name, and leave with your gorgeous creation that you can wear immediately or give your personalized fragrance as a gift.
The fragrance materials offered are those that both men and women love.
Please note: This class can take anywhere from one and a half hours to more than three hours. It just depends on how long each person wants to take to craft their scent.
If you don't see a date listed of the class, you can request a private class. This is more of a custom time, rather than a private class. Unless you book out the whole class for 8 there may be other students joining once the date is booked. Adding a couple more people usually adds to the fun. If you want a private class with just your group there may be an additional charge if your group is under 8 guests.
Please Note:
Groups with over 8 guests can be accommodated but would be at your location and likely a party version of this at a reduced price. Please use the Contact button below near the teacher's bio to inquire.

  • 5/5 from Christina Cary, attended May 2026: I had so much fun making my own personal perfume with the scents that I prefer. It was a lot of work! Sniffing and sorting, combining and reshuffling, until I came up with a combination that I liked. Annie was super helpful in answering questions and making suggestions to help us refine our formulas. I would definitely do this again with a friend or give this class as a gift.

She was patient, kind, funny, and really made the space feel very warm and welcoming. She is extremely knowledgable when it comes to scents and perfume making - I felt guided and confident throughout the entire process, as this was both our first times! Ask questions, experiment, and have fun - the time goes by very quickly!
  • 5/5 from Svitlana Shevchenko, attended Sep 2025: I liked the master class with Annie. There was a cozy, light and relaxed atmosphere. The interesting and unique process of perfume composition personally looks like chemistry and magic.

  • 5/5 from Ashley Middleton, attended Apr 2025: We had such a great time at the perfume-making class with Annie! There were five of us in the group, and Annie made the experience fun, informative, and completely hands-on. Her expertise, humour, and warm personality made everyone feel comfortable and engaged from the start. The selection of fragrances was impressive, and we loved experimenting with different combinations to create our own unique scents. The best part was seeing (and smelling!) our final results—each one completely different and personal. Annie even followed up with an email to help us name our perfumes, which was such a thoughtful touch. It showed how much she genuinely cares about the full experience. Highly recommended!
  • 5/5 from Niv Kamat, attended Apr 2025: I love the interaction with Annnie. She is really amazing. I would love to attend more classes if she willing to offer. I always wanted to learn the basics of perfume making and I think this was the base class that is needed, which gives you a perfect foundation.

  • 5/5 from Sara Esentur, attended Feb 2025: I loved it! Perfect date idea
  • 5/5 from Sarah Butterworth, attended Feb 2025: The class was so much fun! We learned about how to identify and consider scents to identify what we would like for our perfume/cologne. The instructor was really wonderful at helping provide feedback and perspective on scent combinations and you leave with a wonderful scent you’ll really love. The class is in an older building that can be a little challenging to find the first time if you don’t know what you’re looking for. It’s the middle business in the middle building, clearly labeled as suite C.

  • 5/5 from Bob Murching, attended Nov 2024: My wife and I took the level 1 and 2 courses back-to-back over consecutive weekends in November and it was a great experience. In the intro class we got to "understand" dozens of scents, then use that knowledge to craft a take-home bottle over the course of the class. It was an excellent foundation for the 2nd that was almost entirely free-form exploration--which was exactly what we wanted. The teacher is knowlegable, thoughtful and balances "let me help you a bit" and "feel free to explore however you wish" extremely well.

  • 5/5 from Madeleine Langford, attended Apr 2024: I went to this class for my friend's birthday celebration this weekend. I had no idea what to expect, as I had never done any kind of craft class before, but any expectations I had were totally blown out of the water. Our teacher, Annie, was so knowledgeable and helpful and kind. She sat with us at the table and made sure that we were on the right path as we developed our scents. She was easy to make conversation with, and she explained everything in ways that were super easy to understand (even for a beginner like me!). I LOVED my end product I'm literally wearing it right now! She had lots of different oils to choose from, so everyone in our group made something with a totally unique scent profile, but all of them came out phenomenally. All of us left the class super excited, and all of us want to see Annie again for her Level 2 class. Thank you for such a wonderful experience I can't speak highly enough of either Annie or her class!
  • 5/5 from Gabrielle Yarra, attended Mar 2024: The perfume class was so much fun! The teacher, Annie, was very helpful and patient in explaining every step of the process. There are a ton of different scents to work with so you can combine a bunch of elements together to make something that you truly like. I loved it!
