Discover the art of natural perfumery in the heart of Tuscany. Create your own signature scent using essential oils and take home a personalized fragrance.

Your experience begins in the Tuscan countryside at Podere Barbarella, just outside San Gimignano. You’ll meet your local host and the team from Acqua di San Gimignano for a short introduction to the workshop.
You’ll learn about San Gimignano’s PDO saffron, known as the region’s “red gold,” and its historical importance. The guide will explain how local raw materials inspire the fragrances you will work with.

Through a guided smelling session, you’ll explore different fragrance notes and essences connected to the Tuscan landscape. You’ll discover how top, heart, and base notes interact and how a perfume is structured.

Step by step, you’ll blend selected notes and experiment with combinations until you create a scent that reflects your personality, emotions, and memories. Acqua di San Gimignano will assist you throughout the creative process.
At the end of the experience, you’ll bottle your custom-made fragrance oil and take it home as a unique souvenir of Tuscany.
