    Team activity; making your own perfume

    Last Thursday, we had our team outing. It was a wonderful experience. After a warm welcome from our host Arielle and an introduction round, we got to work. Arielle told us everything about scent, proportions, and the composition of perfume. We smelled 10 different fragrances and then chose our favorite scents to create our own perfume. Besides being very interesting, it was also great fun to get to know our team better. Because we had already booked dinner, we opted for a 2-hour workshop, but we could easily have filled 3 hours; then we would have had a choice of 25 scents to create our perfume. We can certainly recommend Arielle. It was a unique experience. Stichting Uitvoering Maatwerk

    Great experience

    Taking this workshop, gives you that extra insight to making of perfumes and finding what scents you like. Arielle is very knowledgeable and her energy is so calming. She starts it off with breathing exercise which creates a wholesome, war and relaxed atmosphere.

    From first timer to enthusiast!!

    Arielle’s workshop was a refreshing and fun activity, and my first time! I not only learned basics of scents, but this workshop turned me into somewhat of an enthusiast for scents, understanding its composition and exploring why different scents resonates with me ! (I ask about bergamot every store I go to😅😅) I already have a second session planned and would recommend you to try this workshop, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

    Very cool experience for almost anyone

    My brother gifted me this workshop for my birthday, and it turned out to be such a lasting gift. I now wear a scent that feels entirely my own- and the compliments haven’t stopped. More than that, I left with a trained nose and a deeper understanding of fragrance. It’s like learning a secret language. The pre-made scents are stunning too (Rijksmuseum is my personal staple). But the real magic? Arielle. She’s the soul of the workshop—grounded, passionate, and impossibly cool. You can’t bottle what she brings. This isn’t just a class; it’s an inspiring experience I’d recommend to anyone.

    3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.

    How much does 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam cost?

    +

    Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.

    Is 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with 10 Tastings, Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Amsterdam 90 minutes Canal Cruise with bar and snacks on board.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Amsterdam?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam?

    +

    Included: All necessary materials: perfumery ingredients, glass tester pot and glass spray in a hand; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Private transportation; and Opportunity to upgrade to a 10ml travel-friendly bottle for an additional €35. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam?

    +

    Please arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes before the start of your workshop. Your host will collect you and get you settled so we can start on time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for people with reduced mobility. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 3 Hours Perfume Making Workshop in Amsterdam if the weather is bad?
