About This Experience
Tucked away in a beautifully appointed London-based lab, the Perfumer’s Alcove is designed for guests to explore, experiment, and express themselves through scent. Hosted by in-house perfumers, this exclusive experience begins with a warm welcome—complete with prosecco and artisanal treats—before your olfactive journey begins.
You’ll explore an award-winning Essential Collection of blendable fragrance ingredients, with guidance to identify your personal scent profile and craft a Signature Blend. The entire consultation is conducted in private, making it a perfect activity for pairs—be it romantic, familial, or friendly.
Guests are guided through each step of the process, from ingredient selection to fragrance formulation, culminating in a custom-labelled bottle of their very own perfume, blended fresh on-site.
