    Fantastic experience!

    If you are looking for a unique and engaging experience, this is it! Fun activity that let's you have something special and custom made by you, and able to be enjoyed long after the workshop for weeks or even months later. Booked this as an anniversary activity for my husband and I - He made a perfume for me and I made a cologne for him. We both had a lot of fun experimenting the different scents to combine for each other - I know he even enjoyed it more than he expected! The team at Tijon is very good at guiding you and they also add a few more surprises to your experience! I love having the special perfume to remember our trip to Charleston!

    Response from the operator: We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your experience with us and love what you came away with. What a wonderful way to remember your celebration & trip with!

    This was so much fun. I...

    This was so much fun. I took my 13 and 15 year old granddaughters and they had an awesome time. Very informative, scientific, and engaging. Our instructor was patient and very friendly.

    Absolutely wonderful and a great value!

    Absolutely informative and whimsical treat. My partner and I both really enjoyed discovering what we liked and were thrilled at how much we had in common. You learn and get to create something special that will remind you of your time in this magical city. The associate was patient, helpful and friendly. The value was exceptional for the experience and I am already recommending it to my friends and family who are looking to visit Charleston. Bravo Tijon! You knocked it outta the park!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words, we couldn't be happier to hear how much you enjoyed your experience and all of the take aways! Enjoy your lovely fragrances and the memories made!

    Great Experience

    It seems expensive, but the experience was worth every penny and you get a lot for the money. The host was knowledgeable and parking is free.

    Create a Custom Perfume or Cologne in Charleston, SC: Mix & Match: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Create a Custom Perfume or Cologne in Charleston, SC: Mix & Match cost?

    +

    Prices start at $109 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Charleston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Create a Custom Perfume or Cologne in Charleston, SC: Mix & Match take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Charleston is not rushed.

    Is Create a Custom Perfume or Cologne in Charleston, SC: Mix & Match worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 115 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Charleston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Create a Custom Perfume or Cologne in Charleston, SC: Mix & Match?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Create a Custom Perfume or Cologne in Charleston, SC: Mix & Match suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Create a Custom Perfume or Cologne in Charleston, SC: Mix & Match?

    +

    Around 40 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 Charleston 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 Charleston and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Create a Custom Perfume or Cologne in Charleston, SC: Mix & Match 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 Charleston 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 Charleston?

    +

    Charleston's best experiences are small: house museum tours with an architectural historian, Gullah heritage walks, harbour sails at sunset and Lowcountry food crawls through the market district. Plantation day trips vary enormously in how honestly they handle the history, and our ranking factors that in directly. On Outty we rank every Charleston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel, Historic Charleston Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour, Hidden Alleyways and Historic Sites Small-Group Walking Tour. 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 Charleston?

    +

    March to May and September to November, the two mild shoulder windows. 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 Charleston?

    +

    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.
