Step into the fascinating world of traditional Florentine perfumery during a unique experience that combines history, tradition and creativity. This exclusive masterclass takes place at the historic Antica Spezieria Erboristeria San Simone, an ancient workshop where scientific knowledge has been combined for centuries with the natural properties of herbs, flowers and fruits to create perfumes and preparations inspired by Renaissance traditions.
Accompanied by a master perfumer, you will discover the secrets of the ancient Florentine perfume-making tradition while learning about the evolution of perfumery and reliving the atmosphere of the Renaissance alchemists and apothecaries who once worked in Florence.
Following the tradition of historical figures such as Catherine de' Medici and René le Florentin, you will learn how to blend different essences to create a fragrance entirely tailored to your own tastes and preferences.
At the end of the experience, you will receive a 30 ml bottle containing the perfume you created, along with a commemorative certificate celebrating your participation in this unique activity.
An ideal experience for travellers wishing to discover one of Florence's most distinctive artisan traditions while taking home an exclusive and personal souvenir.
