    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!

    Sherry greeted us when we walked in and we sat in one of the many stations, surrounded by dozens of natural scents.

    What an energizing place...a space for community to gather, learn, grow. I went to a fall festival…read moreof sorts at the Grounds of Livev and it was lovely. Plenty of parking, then a short walk down a path led into this pasture where there was a band playing and lots of unique vendors set up. I also walked around the grounds and it was so calming and peaceful. Met the co-owner Celeste and she's a powerhouse! So cool how she and a partner built out this concept--looking forward to coming back for more events.

    The Grounds of Livev is a community space in the heart of Oakton where you can connect with over…read moreart, cooking, yoga, meditation, and much more! The state of the world and motherhood has heightened my anxiety over the past few months so I was feeling completely frazzled and fried when I walked into my block printing class. Two hours later ... I felt like an actual person again! The experience was a lot cheaper than a therapy session and to be honest, a whole lot more fun. There is something about learning something new, making art (good or bad!), and connecting with neighbors of all walks of life that really fills your cup. The comfy little cabin, green pastures, and little menagerie of horses, baby goats, and llamas helped as well. The Grounds of Livev just opened with plans to expand into an event space, gardening center, and more over the next few years. I am so excited to have found such a wonderful little space that is not too far from home to relax, learn, and grow. We got to meet the owner and several of her family members, and they are very passionate about creating a space for the community. They offer classes for children and adults, so there truly is something for everyone here.
