Traveler reviews
Azam Razzaq
★★★★★6 months agoHeard about this place through a Youtube video on top places to visit in Granada so had to give it a try. The building itself is beautiful and worth the visit for the small museum in the cellar and the amazing courtyard of plants that are the sources for many of the ingredients that make up perfumes. My wife persuaded me to go to the perfume workshop and it was one of the highlights of my trip. Natalia was an exceptional teacher and inspired our group to come up with our own individual concoctions. She is a true perfuming artisan and has a great knowledge on the subject. I was surprised at how technical and easy to follow her workshop was. Definitely worth the 60 Euros to walk away with your own bottle of scent. Highly recommend a visit.

★★★★★4 months agoA truly special experience with my daughter! Creating our own perfume was amazing — we learned so much and loved leaving with our own unique creation. The place is absolutely beautiful, with a perfect blend of French perfumery elegance and Spanish charm. Everything is done with great taste. A special mention to the owner, who is incredibly welcoming and kind — you can really feel her passion. The whole team is also fantastic: friendly, helpful, and impressively multilingual, which makes the experience even smoother. They even gave us great tips for the rest of our stay! Highly recommended — a unique and memorable experience.
