    So much fun!

    The class was extremely fun and informative. The instructors were a lot of fun and were extremely helpful. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to have a fun day. Not to mention you walk away with your own personal scent for a very good price. Will definitely do it again.

    Response from the operator: Trek, Thanks for the awesome review!! Glad you had a un time and hope you;re loving your custom scent!! Sara

    Fun to do, but a lot of...

    Fun to do, but a lot of the others in the group seemed a bit lost with the directions. More scientific feeling than expected, but still had fun overall.

    Response from the operator: Hi Caitlyn, Glad you all had fun. Everyone was happy with their original fragrances they made! I always ask to make sure they love it! Sara

    Don’t waste your money!

    My sister and I thought this was a terrible experience. Don’t be fooled by the “one on one”. This is not the case. We both left with disgusting smelling perfume. I’m sorry , but after spending $154 each we should have had more help/guidance. A complete waste of time and money. I could have bought my favourite perfume for what I pd for this farce of a gimmicky experience. Save your money and go buy something you love , because if you end up hating it as we did, they don’t care, even when you voice your dissatisfaction, they shrug and do nothing to help. Terrible, terrible experience.

    Response from the operator: Monica, What day and time did you come into Tijon New Orleans? I am soo very sorry you had a bad experience. That is definitely not acceptable. Please call me at 504-919-1880. I would love to make this up to you. Sincerely, Sara Vinson

    New Orleans: Craft Your Own Signature Perfume or Cologne: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does New Orleans: Craft Your Own Signature Perfume or Cologne 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 New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does New Orleans: Craft Your Own Signature Perfume or Cologne 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 New Orleans is not rushed.

    Is New Orleans: Craft Your Own Signature Perfume or Cologne worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 95 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule New Orleans: Craft Your Own Signature Perfume or Cologne?

    +

    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 New Orleans: Craft Your Own Signature Perfume or Cologne 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 New Orleans: Craft Your Own Signature Perfume or Cologne?

    +

    Around 33 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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does New Orleans: Craft Your Own Signature Perfume or Cologne 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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans?

    +

    New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure, New Orleans Self-Transport Swamp and Bayou Boat 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 New Orleans?

    +

    February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. 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 New Orleans?

    +

    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.
