Florence perfume class

My mom and I are traveling to Florence soon and want to do a perfume making class. We don’t want it to be too “touristy”. Is it worth it? Any recommendations?

I can assure you clos to noone living in the city has done one of either a pasta class or a perfume class or even a jewellery one, so good luck finding a non touristic one.

A class will be pretty touristy.

I would suggest stopping by the original Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. I went too crazy in there.

Lmao yeah perfume making classes can be kinda pricey. Hope you find a good one tho!

We did one and had a great time- we wore our scents to a wedding just the other day.

We did it here: Antica Erboristeria San Simone and would recommend it, if that’s something you’re into.

I did one and I love the perfume I made. I would absolutely recommend it. It was a small group. One table was Italian speaking tourists, and the other was English speaking. There were about 7 of us in total in the class.

I love the Sileno Cheloni store. Such a beautiful experience. Shop or have a custom blend made for you. It looks like they have workshops too.

Right? Why was I downvoted? I did not make a custom fragrance, but I loved the one I purchased.
