# Make Your Own Perfume Guided Workshop | Old San Juan

**Guidekin's take:** Half an hour in an Old San Juan perfumery blending your own scent from base, middle and top notes with a guide, and a bottle of the result to take home. It is a workshop rather than a tour, and champagne cocktails cost extra. 4.92 from 304 reviews at €90 per person.

In our comparison: #3 of 14 in Family Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Making your own perfume is a unique and personalized fragrance experience, setting it apart from traditional perfume shopping. 

Personalization: Customers can create a fragrance that is uniquely theirs, tailored to their personal tastes and preferences. This involves selecting from a variety of base notes, middle notes, and top notes to craft a custom blend. 

Interactive Experience: The process is hands-on, allowing customers to engage in the art of perfumery. This interactive aspect makes it a fun and educational experience. 

Creative Expression: It provides an opportunity for creative expression. Customers can experiment with different scent combinations and discover what appeals to them the most, making the experience both artistic and sensory. 

Unique Gifts: The personalized aspect to gift-giving adds a special touch that off-the-shelf perfumes lack. 

Memory Association: Creating a personalized scent can be linked to specific memories or events.
