“I want to make my own”, “I want to be hands on”, “I want to make it myself”, “I don’t like what’s out there”, “How do I do it?”
These are the reasons we designed the Create Your Own Perfume experience over ten years ago.
When people realised they were talking to professional perfume makers who actually design scent and make fragrance the very next thing we were asked is “can I make my own?”.
We decided to say yes and make it possible.
There are very few places to make your own perfume outside of France. You have come to the right place. If you ever wanted to experience what its like to be a perfume maker with the assistance of an internationally recognised master perfumer, the Fleurage Scent Design Studio (located at the Parkrise Building Alison Street Surfers Paradise) awaits you.
Consult with the perfumer about your personal tastes, explore fragrance oils for perfume making, then we create a formula for you (from the ingredients you like) to design your own scent. From the formula we can create parfum, eau de parfum and colognes or create perfume without alcohol.
Eighty ingredients for you to explore.
Fragrance is a very personal choice.
What we as individuals find attractive in scent is not bounded by gender or dictated by marketing departments.
This is for people who know themselves and wish to reflect their being.
A beautiful opportunity to begin the journey into custom parfum, eau de parfum or oil perfumes.
Step into the secret world of fragrance making and explore the possibilities for men with eau de parfum, colognes and aftershaves.
A joyous experience to share – exploring your tastes through the exquisite world of perfume.
The first step in designing a personal scent begins with a scent profile – a questionnaire to understand your tastes. Our professional perfume maker will then create perfume making formula using your stated likes and ingredients tested by your own nose.
A discussion of your likes, industry ingredients, your own nose to select favourites and personal guidance by a fragrance maker means we can guarantee a classically structured perfume based on your likes.
We will guide you through the perfume making process so you will mix your own perfume and you will see the fragrance oils mixing and blending together.
The perfume oils are added from base to top notes so you can experience your perfume’s complexities building and changing. Seeing the oils mixing while you are making the fragrance is quite beautiful
A visit to the Fleurage Scent Design studio is more than a perfume making workshop, The Scent Design Studio is located in Surfers Paradise one of Australia's most iconic and relaxed locations four minutes walk from the beach.
Treat yourself. We are surrounded by attractions which means it is easy to turn your session into a wonderous perfume making day. We are one of only a few locations world-wide where you can make your own perfume and we are in one of Australia's most glorious locations.
The Create Your Own Perfume experience is designed using natural and high grade modern perfume ingredients. If you wish to create a natural perfume mixing essential oils for perfume please contact us using the form below.
To make perfume with essential oils requires additional time. There are more variables in perfume formulas with essential oils and additional time is required for blending to judge the outcome. Please use the form to contact us about making mens essential oil fragrances.
Botanical perfume creation from plant ingredientsThere are thousands of ingredients for making perfume to choose from of various grades and origins. The perfume ingredients we use have been selected for their scent quality, purity and safety.
The best carrier oil for perfume is pure jojhoba oil if you are looking to create a perfume oil. Perfume oils are a very traditional form of fragrance where the scents from the ingredients is absorbed into the carrier oil. This form is particularly suitable for making natural perfume.
We use a very specific alcohol for perfume making. It is denatured perfume grade alcohol which we use for its properties of low scent interference and for legal compliance. Alcohol is used to break down the individual ingredient molecules and blend them into a new whole.
Making perfume without alcohol is also possible. Beautiful handmade perfume oil can be made by using an oil carrier. The Parfum Huille can then be applied to the skin using a dabber, a roll on or by touch.
What it's like to design your own scent
Hi Emma. I just wanted to let you know that I had a delightful experience this morning. I really loved how well you engage with me as a person, how you identified my likes and dislikes and helped me make a wonderful, individualised perfume, just for me. I have met 4 people since this morning and I've shared my wonderful experience with each of them. Best regards.

I would recommend Fleurage’s Create Your Own Perfume experience to anyone – it was such a fun, educational and enriching creative activity and it would appeal to both perfume aficionados and to those with no prior knowledge of fragrance. I had such a wonderful time making my own fragrance with Emma from Fleurage; it was a really magical experience and a wonderful way to make a tribute perfume both to my father and my own childhood scent memories.

The whole process is really quite fascinating and I would recommend it to anyone who loves perfume (and it would make a great gift for a milestone birthday or similar). My big tip for anyone considering a visit to Fleurage to create their own fragrance (apart from just do it!!) is to have a little think about the style of fragrance you might like to create. I hadn’t given that any thought at all, which probably made it harder for Emma to narrow down what I was after.
