About the Experience
Your destination for this most glamorous of experiences is somewhere equally a bit boujee! St Giles House is a grand grade II listed building in Norwich city centre that is now one of the city's most exclusive boutique hotels. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with a complimentary glass of something fizzy, and meet with the expert perfume consultant that will be running your session. Once everyone has arrived and been greeted, you'll head off to start your session with an informative and engaging presentation, covering a brief history of perfume, with many illuminating facts about its origins, its uses and cultural significance and how it's taken the journey from where it began to what it is now. Then it's down to the serious business of creating your very own bespoke fragrance, utilising an extensive library of around 20 different scents. You'll learn about and receive guidance on how to harmoniously blend top, middle and base notes to create a perfume that is truly unique to you. You'll both be presented with a gift box of your creation in a 20ml spray bottle sampler to take home. But don't go heading for home just yet - because there's also delights to appease your taste buds as well as your sense of smell, with a scrumptious afternoon tea served on three tier trays, abundant with good sweet and savoury treats to indulge with together as well as freshly brewed tea and coffee to wash it all down!
