“This was one of the coolest things my family and I have ever done on vacation. The shop is beautiful and fantastic. In the back, there are tables and chairs with bottles of scents. You have a teacher telling you to pick what pleases you. Once you do, you write it all down, and they come around and help you with the proportions of scents. You are making a personalized perfume. My family and I felt like chemists. It was amazing. I highly recommend this tour.”
