Perfume Making Class in Vancouver
Create your signature natural scent with a professional Nose. One hour, a 30ml bottle to take home, and your formula kept on file.
No experience needed. The hour starts with the basics of top, heart and base notes, and the perfumer guides every blend.
One guided hour, seven seats at most, so you get time with the perfumer rather than time in a queue. Come alone, as a pair or with friends.
You leave with a 30 ml bottle of the natural perfume you made, named by you. Your formula stays on file to reorder any time.
Reorder your perfumeLed by Lalla A.D., founder and head perfumer, a professional Nose with a background in biochemistry.
Meet LallaA palette of 35+ natural essences, absolutes and extracts. No synthetic aroma chemicals on the table.
Great whether it's raining or shining: an indoor hour near Downtown, weekend classes, and you leave wearing what you made.

What happens in the hour of your perfume making class in Vancouver
In one hour, you'll make your own perfume from a palette of 35+ natural scents, guided at every step.
-
Smell the palette. Lalla introduces a palette of 35+ natural scents — florals, citrus, woods, resins — and how top, heart, and base notes work.
-
Find your direction. With scent strips you narrow to the accord that feels like you; Lalla guides the balance.
-
Blend and measure. You compose your formula drop by drop, testing as you go.
-
Bottle and name it. Your 30ml perfume is bottled, labelled with the name you choose, and your formula is recorded so you can reorder it.

Your perfumer
Lalla A.D.
Founder & Head Perfumer, Professional Nose
Your perfumer is Lalla A.D., founder and head perfumer of ARTEI PHIRE. A professional Nose with a background in biochemistry, Lalla learned scent from her mother's natural incense tradition and made her first perfumes at eight. Every workshop is taught by her, with the natural materials she uses in her own collection.
- 500+ perfume workshops led
- 18+ ARTEI PHIRE scents created
- Biochemistry (university)
Why natural perfumery
There are no synthetic fragrance oils or fixatives on the table. Every accord you build comes from botanical extracts, essential oils and resins, the same natural materials Lalla A.D. uses to compose the ARTEI PHIRE collection.
Natural perfumery is harder to teach and harder to wear well: botanicals evolve on skin and fade at their own pace, so getting the balance right takes a professional Nose. That is why this natural perfume workshop is led by the perfumer who composes the ARTEI PHIRE collection. The result is a scent that is yours, and because your formula is kept on file, it can be re-made whenever you want more.
