Fragrance: Creative perfume workshops

Hi, I'm Karsten. I am convinced that scents tell stories. A whiff of sunscreen and we're back on the beach. A certain perfume, and a loved one suddenly stands before us. No other sense is as closely linked to our memories as the sense of smell.

Many years ago I was standing in line at the canteen of an educational center when a fellow trainee spoke to me from behind: “You're wearing Kenzo, aren't you? Love that scent. ”

I confirmed with a laugh, and that brief moment grew into a deep friendship. Today we're best friends, I'm the godfather of her son and I've known ever since: A scent can connect life.

My mission is to make this world accessible to you, without any previous knowledge. With me, you don't buy off-the-shelf scents, but find out what really suits you.

Location
The workshops take place in a light-flooded room in the listed Bieberhaus in Hamburg St.-Georg (main station). Up to 10 people work here at a common table so that conversations can easily take place. A private fragrance bar with numerous essences, sorted by top, heart and base notes, invites you to discover.

Getting there is easy: Subway, S-Bahn and regional and long-distance trains stop just a few steps away, StadtRAD and MOIA right outside the door. Parking is available in the surrounding parking garages or side streets. And for anyone who still has some time before or after: St. Georg is one of Hamburg's liveliest districts. Whether it's lunch, afterwork or a short stroll through the shops, you'll find everything your heart desires around the Lange Reihe.

Courses and events
In two hours, you'll learn how perfume is structured, smell your way through different fragrance families and then create your own fragrance. Take this home in a 30 ml bottle, plus a recipe card so that you can mix up your favorite scent.

What makes my workshops special: We take our time. For questions, to try things out and for the stories behind the scents. Because it is often during a conversation that the best ideas for your own mix arise.

Team events and private events Are
you looking for a special experience for your team, a bachelorette party or a birthday? I also offer the workshop exclusively for groups of up to 10 people on your preferred date. A fragrance workshop unites people in their own way: Each person creates something personal, and yet the group laughs, smells and marvels together. In the end, everyone goes home with a piece of memory of that day.
