Attending the DIY perfume workshop at Daydream Lab was an unforgettable experience that truly sparked my creativity. The workshop started with sampling a variety of scents categorized into top, middle, and base notes—understanding these layers helped me appreciate how complex and beautifully balanced a perfume can be. Selecting my favorite 3 to 5 scents was both fun and challenging, as I wanted to create a fragrance that reflected my personality. The hands-on mixing process allowed me to control the proportions of each scent, which was fascinating but required some trial and error. I found it easy to get carried away and use too much of one scent, but the instructors were friendly and gave great tips on balancing the notes. Adding personal touches like changing the color of the perfume and embedding a small flower in the bottle made the final product feel truly special. This workshop is ideal not only for perfume enthusiasts but also for those looking for a unique, creative activity to enjoy with friends or family. The cozy atmosphere of the studio enhances the experience, making it feel intimate and personalized. Plus, the price of $99 for a 2-hour class that includes a customized 50ml perfume bottle is very reasonable. If you’re in Richmond and interested in exploring the art of perfume-making, I highly recommend visiting Daydream Lab Handcrafted Co. It’s a fantastic way to learn about scent composition, express yourself, and leave with a one-of-a-kind perfume designed by you.
