Idea 2: A Wedding-Day Scent, Made Together
Brides always want more than memories; they want a tangible mark of the day. For the bride who loves making things, turn the perfume workshop into a group project: everyone smells the raw materials, the friends vote on the notes that feel most like her, and the bride blends the final bottle. It is gentle and hands-on, and it leaves her with a scent she can wear on the wedding day and long after.
At NOTE – The Scent Lab the session runs 120 minutes, with an instructor beside you the whole time. Each session sets out three of our nine scent families, and the instructor explains what each material does, so the group can talk through which notes suit the bride. Everyone can blend a bottle of their own too, in 10, 20, 30 or 50 ml; each bottle carries a serial number, and the formula is kept on file so the bride can reorder her wedding scent later, with refills at 20% off.
Seats are limited: up to 8 seats per session at Nguyen Hue, 12 at Ly Tu Trong and 15 at Thao Dien. For bigger groups, contact us before booking.
