Fragrances Design Experience

If you have ever walked past a perfume counter and felt like nothing quite captures your personal style, you might be interested in the upcoming Fragrances Design Experience. It is happening on 14 June 2026 at The Old Ship Hotel, right here in Brighton. The session is run by The Perfume Studio, and the format is essentially a workshop where you get to create your own custom scent from scratch.

Instead of just picking a bottle off a shelf, the idea here is to work with expert stylists who guide you through the process. You start by exploring different scent families and specific accords, which helps you narrow down what you actually like versus what you think you should like. It is a practical approach to fragrance; you are essentially building a signature scent that reflects your own preferences rather than following a trend. The workshop is designed to make the technical side of perfumery accessible, so you do not need any prior knowledge of chemistry or fragrance notes to participate.

The venue, The Old Ship Hotel at 32-38 Kings Road, provides the setting for these sessions. It is a straightforward setup: you spend the time experimenting with various ingredients, choosing your favourites, and blending them under professional guidance. By the end of the experience, you walk away with a fragrance that you have personally designed. It is a different way to spend a Saturday in the city, especially if you are looking for an activity that is a bit more hands-on than the usual weekend plans.
