Description

Discover the art of Icelandic perfume-making in this fun and hands-on workshop in Reykjavik. Whether you’re completely new to scent blending or simply curious about how perfume is made, this workshop is a relaxing and creative way to explore the world of fragrance.

In just three hours, you’ll learn how to create your own unique fragrance using high-quality, natural ingredients. No experience is needed, and all tools and materials are provided.

The experience takes place in Hafnarhaus, a cozy and inspiring space in the heart of the city. Guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll be introduced to the basic structure of perfume and how different scent notes (top, middle, and base) work together to create balance and depth.

You’ll get to smell and work with a wide variety of beautiful aromas, from soft florals and fresh citrus to earthy woods and warm resins. Using these materials, you’ll experiment and blend your own custom scent, with expert guidance to help you along the way.

The workshop is designed to be beginner-friendly and welcoming, giving you the freedom to be creative while learning useful techniques and tips from your guide.

By the end of the session, you’ll have crafted your own 10 mL perfume to take home, along with a written formula so you can recreate it in the future. You’ll also receive a travel-sized signature scent as a special gift.

This workshop is perfect for travelers looking for a unique, meaningful activity in Iceland. It’s also a wonderful choice for creatives, scent lovers, or anyone wanting to take home a personal and lasting memory of their trip.

More than just a fun experience, this workshop invites you to slow down, engage your senses, and connect with the story of Iceland through scent. The fragrance you create becomes a reflection of your personal taste and a memory in a bottle.

Group sizes are kept small for a calm, focused atmosphere. After booking, your expert guide will reach out to arrange a time that suits your schedule.

Come and enjoy a creative journey into the world of Icelandic natural perfumery without leaving the comforts of the city. Check availability now by choosing a date.

Good to know

No prior experience is needed—this workshop is designed for beginners and scent lovers alike. All materials are provided, including natural essential oils, blending tools, bottles, and take-home items. Just bring yourself and a sense of curiosity.

To get the most from the experience, please avoid wearing perfume, cologne, or scented body products on the day of the workshop. This allows your nose to fully focus on the natural materials you’ll be exploring and helps keep the scent space neutral for everyone.

You’ll be working closely with a variety of natural aroma materials. If you have sensitivities or allergies to fragrance, please take this into consideration, as the experience may not be suitable for those with scent-related concerns.
