What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Galimard Perfume Studio for its unique and engaging perfume-making workshops. The expert guidance from 'noses' and the ability to create a truly personal scent are highlights, making it a memorable experience. While the exterior might be understated, the interior and the personalized attention received are highly appreciated, with many recommending the upgrade to an atomiser for their custom fragrance.
"Attended a perfume making workshop with friends during our girl's trip. The blue front of the shop is deceiving, and doesn't really showcase the brand's heritage or the elegant set up inside. Inside the workshop are approximately 30 individual workspaces where you are given your own neatly sorted organ, complete with base, heart and top notes to sample. You're given a sheet to write down your favourite scents and then the staff (noses) come to help you with ratios for each note.
The staff were all fantastic, and helped us to select notes and mix them. They talked us through the process and supported us all individually to create our signature scent.
At the end of the workshop, you are asked whether you'd like to upgrade to an atomiser or take it away in a bottle. We all paid to upgrade as it meant we could use it easier and it looks very professional, with our own labels printed.
Once you leave, you can order your scent in a variety of products and have it delivered.
Overall, extremely pleased! Well worth a visit."

"We went trying the STUDIO 1 with my little sister. That was my first visit, and what can I say !??
The lady at the reception was very welcoming, she recognised me (gift voucher) and we got lead to that kind of private lab where Marie-Amandine took care of us from the beginning until the very end.
She is very sweet and explained every step of the way. Then, we got out with the perfume I created with her expertise.
I love the packaging of it, plus, I was even thrilled when she handed my diploma. We truly appreciated the experience of trying something new.
Looking forward to coming back !"

"The perfume creation workshop is amazing and great value for money. Staff was extremely nice and friendly and we had a blast. Thank you
If I were to give a small suggestion - it would be nice to learn a little more about persistency during the workshop (and how to create a perfume that lasts) since my perfume, although amazing, does not last very long."

The Art of Perfume Creation
During the workshop, you'll work with a perfumer, often referred to as a 'nose', who guides you through the process. They help you select notes that resonate with your preferences and explain the ratios needed to achieve a balanced and harmonious blend. This collaborative effort ensures that even beginners can create a sophisticated and personal fragrance. The experience is designed to be both educational and enjoyable, demystifying the complex art of perfume making.
Upon completion, you take home your unique creation in a beautifully presented bottle. Many visitors opt to upgrade to an atomiser for easier application, finding it a professional and practical choice. The ability to reorder your custom scent later adds significant value, making it a truly lasting souvenir of your visit.
Planning Your Visit to Galimard
Consider the time of year for your visit. Visiting during off-peak seasons, like January, might mean you have the instructor more to yourself, leading to an even more intimate and tailored session. While the studio's exterior might seem unassuming, reviewers consistently praise the elegant setup and the welcoming atmosphere inside.
For those looking to enhance their experience, upgrading to an atomiser for your custom perfume is a popular choice, offering practicality and a professional finish. Remember to wear comfortable clothing and avoid wearing any strong scents on the day of your workshop to fully appreciate the delicate notes you'll be working with.
