Create A Custom Fragrance at Chicago’s Original Perfumery
Overview
You’ll be creating a unique fragrance that is true to you! We save it on file so you can order refills (at a discounted rate as long as you keep your bottle) and we rotate fragrances on the bar so you can always come in to create a new scent too!
We’ve been around for over 30 years (established 1993) and have been a hidden gem in Chicago’s beautiful Lincoln Park area for the entire time. Nothing beats experience and trained perfumers to help guide and create the right proportions for you!
We are BYOB—just board liquor allowed. But beer, wine, or a few hard seltzers are ok.
It’s the perfect outing for date night, bachelorette parties, bridal showers, birthdays, business outings or even solo!
For bigger groups (5+) you will have to book on our website or give us a call for instructions.
It is a private activity in the sense that you get your own table or seating with your reservation—just like you would at a restaurant.
What's Included
- Scent Creation Experience
- A bottle of fragrance to take home and love
- Tip, if you so choose to leave it :) (cash only)
- Additional products (lotions, shower gels, bath salts, etc.)

What To Expect
With the help of a professionally trained perfumer, you’ll be creating your new signature fragrance!
When you enter, you’ll be seated and given the run down of the process.
The perfumers will give you time to go through our scent bars and decide on your favorites.
From there you will be given strips of blends based on your likes.
You’ll choose your favorite, choose your favorite bottle, and the perfumer will bottle it up for you.
Well save it in your file so you can reorder time and time again. ♥️
We only have one location in Lincoln Park.
