Itinerary

Meet your master perfumer at Antica Erboristeria San Simone and get ready for a sensory experience! The lesson will take place in a historic, atmospheric workshop dating back to 1700. In centuries of experience this historic lab has mixed the scientific knowledge of medical care together with the empirical knowledge of the healing properties of herbs, flowers and fruits. You will relive the magical atmosphere of alchemists and apothecaries residing in Florence during the Renaissance period, surrounded by unique glassware, ampules and rare essences. Following the historical footprints of Catherine de Medici and René le Florentine, your master perfumer will guide you through the process which will ultimately lead to the creation of your unique personal fragrance. At the end of the workshop you will be rewarded with a 30ml bottle of your own personalized perfume. Each participant will also receive a certificate as a memory of the day. This truly authentic experience is not to be missed.

Worthwhile

Published on Jan, 2025

I was traveling in Florence alone and thought it would be nice to learn about the city more and maybe meet other people with similar interests. This did not disappoint. Learning about perfumes and their history in Florence was wonderful, I met interesting people, and I have a very unique souvenir. Loved it!

Wonderful!!!

Awesome Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

I had an amazing time creating my own perfume!!The ladies made it super easy to follow, they went step by step. We learned about the history on how it became perfume. I also brought some tea. I definitely recommend taking this class!!!!

What a delight!

Come to the class with an open mind and prepare for pure enjoyment. This is a sensory experience so be prepared to be transported to lovely memories through the power of scent. A lovely perk is that you get to leave with a fragrance you crafted, so it is your signature creation.

Really fun experience.

I enjoyed how small the class was and the friendliness of the instructor. I'm excited to wear my new perfume.
