Mixed Mediums Workshop
Intro to Cologne
Smell 50+ scents. Build your blends. Leave with two custom colognes that are entirely you.
The experience
Your nose knows more than you think
Fragrance making is part science, part intuition, and it's much more accessible than you'd expect. You'll explore a palette of 50+ fragrance notes, learning how base, mid, and top notes work together as you build formulas that become your own scents.
By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with two wearable colognes you created yourself, bottled in 20ml travel bottles, along with formula cards to recreate them. It's one of the most personal things you can make. And they smell incredible.
Reserve a spot
Same table, same scent library
Intro to Perfume and Intro to Cologne run side by side at the studio. Same instructor, same two hours, same blending bench. The only real difference is that Intro to Cologne leans into a few extra musky, woody, and leathery notes.
Every fragrance on the table is available in either workshop, so book whichever session fits your calendar and blend whatever you love. Coming with a friend or partner who signed up for the other one? You'll be sitting right next to each other.
See Intro to Perfume“I wore it to my friend's dinner that night and had three people ask me what cologne it was. A month later I still have it on my dresser.”

The most memorable thing you'll do together this year
Cologne blending is one of our most special workshops. It's intimate, sensory, and uniquely personal. Everyone ends up with something different. It's a favorite for date nights, birthday celebrations, groomsmen outings, and group celebrations.
