Making your own perfume is the most requested workshop at Break-it. In 1h, at our studio in the Sainte-Catherine district of central Brussels, you discover the fragrance pyramid (top, heart and base notes), smell a wide palette of essences and compose, step by step, a scent that truly suits you.
No perfumery knowledge is needed. Our host guides you through choosing accords, dosing with a pipette and finding the final balance. You test, adjust and start again if you like: you decide, until you get the bespoke perfume you will actually wear.
At the end of the session your eau de parfum is bottled and ready to wear or to give. Every participant leaves with their own creation, unique, that no shop sells.
You can come alone, as a pair or with friends without booking, on weekdays from 1pm to 8pm and at weekends from 10am to 8pm. For groups of 6 or more, hen parties, birthdays or team buildings, we privatise the studio or come to your home or office anywhere in Belgium.
It is also an original gift idea in Brussels: offer the workshop to a perfume lover, or come and share it as a couple. At €70 per person, essences and bottle included, it is one of the most memorable creative experiences in the city centre.
