    My scents

    AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME EXPERIENCE- Sherry was spectacular in helping guide you in the early steps because it can get overwhelming at times but then she gives tremendous advice and is with you every step of the way to help tailor your one of a kind scent. She transformed our experience from great to our new goto hobby and date spot. Worth every scent and beyond - and her hospitality was second to none. Highly recommended!!

    We love this studio! We've only gone once, but we greatly enjoyed our experience! We came in with goals in mind for what our perfume would be like or what we wanted our scent to convey. We chose the Guided Perfume Creation (Full Organ) 2-hour course because we're very new to perfume-making, and we really had no idea how or where to start. They were extremely helpful and patient with the group. They also offered up a lot of suggestions that would help elevate our scents or remove specific ones that don't quite complement the overall fragrance. The studio is cozy with clean and organized tables and seats. The decor, the vibe, and the layout are so complementary and homely. They had so many different scents that it could feel overwhelming at first, but once you get going on picking out the scents that speak to you, it's fairly quick to put a fragrance together! It is quite a process especially if you connect with a lot of the different scents they offer! Sometimes, to elevate your particular perfume, they'll pull off specific ones from the back shelves they think will help with your fragrance. I really enjoyed the whole experience, and I think we will either purchase our perfumes again when we run out or come back and try to mix new fragrances! I'm really happy with mine and would most likely use their service of getting bottles of your fragrance mix. Highly recommend!

    My family and I really enjoyed this experience. This visit was a Xmas gift for my younger sister... she loved creating her own scents. My daughter also enjoyed the scent picking process and finalizing her scent combinations. Sherry is AWESOME btw! She was warm and welcoming, knowledgeable and definitely fun. Our scent organ table was definitely the live one (smile)! Thanks Sherry... we will be back! Absolutely a fun and creative activity for family and friends. Side note, bring something to keep younger children occupied... after my mini completed her first scent she was over the entire experience. We created our own scents... so proud of us!

    This was such a fun unique experience. I came across DIY scent studio when searching for a massage oil making class. They offer a few different classes...perfume, body/hair oil, and beard oil making. We went with the body/hair oil class. It's $99 for a two hour class and a bottle of your creation! The studio is small and quaint. There was a total of 6 of us in the class. I like the small size classes, as you can get a good amount of attention from the two facilitators. The two instructors were great!! They taught us quite a bit on the process of making body oils. I loved my creation!! Definitely a fun date idea or a day out with the girls! Well worth the $99.

    DIY Scent Studio was a fun experience. Cost is $99 for a two hour session... it's part education/fun. You learn about top, middle, and base fragrance notes; and walk away with your very own custom scent. I highly recommend the experience. IG: simply_bougee

    I just started getting into perfuming and was on a mission to smell everything I possibly could smell. I found nose Nirvana at DIY Scent Studio! I took the extended class and learned a ton! Sherry was super awesome and sweet and even bought me a coffee before class started. She has an extensive collection of stuff to sniff, including rare stuff, which was perfect for my quest. She answered all my questions (and I had many) and I had an olfactory blast. Even if you're not looking to smell everything everywhere and just want to walk out with your own perfume blend, you will find something special here! Great for solo individuals and groups. It seems like a really fun event to do with your girlfriends and the group that was there when I was really seemed to enjoy themselves. I can't say enough good things. If you like good scents, you simply HAVE to check this place out!

    Custom fragrance blends

    We settled on DIY Scent Studio as a fun end of summer activity for a group of moms and teen daughters. We opted for the 80 blending fragrance guided version for our first time but we would probably opt for the 120 fragrances next time. Our expert guide described the task of perfume blending as akin to painting - you need an idea of what you want the ultimate "picture" to be but there are many ways to get there. We spent a very happy two hours of trial and error which resulted in some delightful and unique take home fragrances with assistance from our pro guide. You get two fragrances to take home in pretty spray bottles with custom labels. Highly recommend this experience for anyone creatively inclined teens up. I would not recommend it for younger children as certain fragrance materials can be toxic or cause allergic reactions. If you have severe allergies check with the shop before booking. A wonderful creative experience - highly recommend.

    Absolutely loved my experience personalizing my own fragrances. Sherry was absolutely amazing! She explained in detail everything we needed to know about fragrances. Everything from top, middle and bottom notes to the background of interesting scents. Our experience was surprisingly relaxing. The music played was serene and we had the entire studio to ourselves which allowed Sherry to take her time with assisting us. Social distancing was in practice and I appreciated the safety measures implemented to ensure our safety. I struggled a bit with creating a scent I had in mind but Sherry came to the rescue and I absolutely love my two unique scents! This experience is perfect for spending time with friends, family or even with your partner. I highly recommend DIY Scent Studio and look forward to returning again soon !

    Each student has a station equipped with scents, explanatory wheel, and worksheets to jot down favorites.

    I dropped in for a class to learn about how perfumes are created. Sherry was in the middle of walking two other ladies through each natural scent, describing each and explaining their origins. Some were familiar and others were more exotic and surprising (castoreum, anyone?). I played with the scents and Sherry gave me suggestions based on the feelings I wished to evoke. I ended up purchasing the blend I created - fresh and woody with a hint of rose. I enjoyed this experience and am thinking of returning to make a scented body oil next!

    See all

    I am so thrilled with my experience ordering online from Arielle Shoshana! They shipped my perfume…read morewithin hours, they included all the samples I requested, even the backup one I mentioned just in case any of my first 3 were out of stock, that was so kind of them to give me an extra! There was no issue fulfilling my order even though my shipping address is different than my billing address which has been an issue with another frag boutique that automatically cancels orders like that. Regarding that other boutique, I had a great experience in person when visiting Portland, but I had issues with my online order going through and once I got that worked out they didn't include the samples that were promised. So the next time I was ready to order a niche perfume I had sampled at that shop, I found it at Ariel Shoshana's website and ordered from there and so glad I did! I have a new favorite niche fragrance shop! I will absolutely be ordering more in the future and perfume collectors purchases can really add up! If you are a business owner, be like Arielle Shoshana, don't be like the one in Portland when it comes to your online order fulfillment!

I was on the hunt for an illusive fragrance, and when I emailed customer service for help they QUICKLY solved my olfactory emergency! (No literally they answered the email within minutes of me sending it and on a Saturday no less) So I've had people try to match this fragrance for me in person and sight unseen (or scent unsniffed) the staff here got closer than anyone else ever had!! I couldn't believe it! I also love how if you order online, you get samples of your fragrances so you dont have to open the bottom and compromise your return, in the event you are dissatisfied. Anyway I've sinced ordered numerous times and have always been beyond thrilled!!

The staff was lovely and very helpful throughout the store. Anthony did a great job assisting me with shoes, and the ladies in the jewelry department were amazing I ended up purchasing a bracelet and they made the experience enjoyable and welcoming. The handbag staff overall was kind and attentive however, I did feel a bit pressured by a male associate in the handbag department to purchase an additional item, which slightly took away from the experience. That said, I used to shop here years ago and a lot has changed in a positive way overall. I'll definitely be coming back.

    1 Star -- Buyer Beware: Defective Merchandise, Zero Accountability, and a Company in Active…read moreBankruptcy I have been a loyal Neiman Marcus customer for years and have made multiple high-end purchases at their Tysons Corner location -- we are talking about items in the hundreds and even thousands of dollars. I am writing this review because I have reached my limit with this company and I feel it is my duty to warn fellow shoppers before they make the same mistakes I have. Let me start with my most recent issue. I purchased a Veronica Beard blazer -- a beautiful jacket with gold buttons that cost $800. I wore it to a formal event, one of the gold buttons literally fell off and dropped to the floor. Thank God I heard it hit the floor or I would have lost it entirely -- and these are unique, distinctive gold buttons that cannot simply be replaced anywhere. On an $800 designer blazer, this is completely unacceptable. This is not a $30 jacket from a fast fashion retailer. This is supposed to be luxury. And this is not an isolated incident. I have purchased multiple items from Neiman Marcus -- some costing thousands of dollars -- and have encountered defective merchandise more than once. What makes it worse is not just that the products fail, but that Neiman Marcus absolutely does not stand behind what they sell. They do not honor their guarantees. They do not offer reassurances. They do not make it right. They will dispute you if you escalate to the Better Business Bureau rather than work with you in good faith toward a reasonable resolution. I have experienced this firsthand. They will not take back defective merchandise. I attempted to return defective shoes -- and they refused to take them back even the next day. The next day. On defective shoes. That tells you everything you need to know about how this company values its customers. I am now sitting at a tailor out of pocket paying to have my $800 blazer repaired because Neiman Marcus offers no path to resolution that is worth the time, gas, and emotional energy it takes to even attempt it. I know from experience that driving all the way out to Tysons only to be told no -- as they have done to me before -- is not something I am willing to subject myself to again. So I am fixing their defective product myself, on my own dime. Shoppers need to know that Neiman Marcus is also currently in active bankruptcy. Before you spend your hard-earned money -- especially on high-ticket items -- please do your research and understand that you are taking on real risk. If something goes wrong, and based on my experience it very well might, you will be on your own. There are no guarantees, no accountability, and no customer care to speak of. Shop elsewhere. There are retailers who actually stand behind what they sell and treat their customers with the respect that this level of spending deserves. Neiman Marcus is no longer one of them.

Each of my bridal lehengas was gorgeous, unique, and made with extremely high quality. The owner worked with me patiently over several sessions to finalize my outfits order. She made many of the design suggestions, including colors, blouse styles, and embroidery. My bridal outfits were delivered with plenty of time to spare and were made nearly perfectly to my measurements upon first trial. Only minor alterations were needed, all of which the Mohar team took care of quickly and seamlessly. In addition to my bridal outfits, Mohar by Ekaa Couture also made matching outfits for the groom (my now husband). He is still receiving compliments on one of his outfits months later! We looked well coordinated and it was so easy to have our outfits made to match from the same designer. Lastly, I also had my matching bridesmaids' lehengas custom-made from Mohar by EC, based off measurements that my bridesmaids took themselves; the outfits turned out beautifully. From off-the-rack options to the most custom, heavy outfits, Mohar by Ekaa Couture is the place to go. The design process was easy and the results were stunning. I couldn't be more grateful for how everything turned out for my big day and weekend. I look forward to continuing to work with Mohar by EC for all of my future outfit needs!
