It was a wonderful journey through history on perfumery. Support our local museums , they are incredibly preserved and a wonderful experience.
Very enriching experience. Got to learn so much about the perfume industry from a very lovely guide. Highly recommend if you are interested in perfumery.
I had an absolute amazing experience at the premium package perfume workshop! Daniella, who guided us through the workshop, was incredibly warm and welcoming. Her extensive knowledge made the experience both informative and fascinating. Learning about the art of perfumery and the crafting of fragrances was truly captivating. The highlight was getting to create my own custom perfume - a truly unique and enjoyable experience! I highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in perfumery. Daniella's expertise and hospitality made it a memorable day.
I decided to celebrate my daughter's birthday with a workshop, learning to make perfume. We chose the platinum package. I can actually advise any package, as Daniela is an amazing hostess, making you feel welcome and taken care of, doesn't matter how long you decide to visit. My kids couldn't stop bubbling about the interesting history of perfume. Facts they never knew before, but they listened intently as our hostess shared her love for fragrances. The best part for us is the change to do this as a family together. Strongly recommend you visit this museum, and if you have time, do a workshop. It's the most unique attraction in Cape Town.
