Has anyone gone to one of Tijon's perfume classes in Grand Case? What did you think of the experience?

It's been several years, but I loved it. About time for me to do it again. Go! You won't be sorry.

Greetings,

I visited Tijon at Christmas. I enjoyed the experience however I blended my perfume far to strong. My major disappointments are that both bottles leak and the spray dropplets are many. I'm along the lines, a little goes a long way so your preference may vary.

Tip: read their website for ideas on blends/notes as there's little time to select from the dozens of vials. Are you musky, flowery, sporty, fresh air, etc?

I would book again. I booked via wearesxm.com.

Have fun and enjoy a little sxm from home.

Since it's too strong can you add alcohol to dilute it down?

It's strong alcohol that's overpowering my crafted scent. I'm not sure how to fix it. Also will add, this alcoholly scent lingers long after the spilled droplets evaporated from the leaking bottle.

It is possible I added an extra drop from the dropper in error??? Not sure how this occurred.

My husband and I did the class early on, when they had just been doing them for a few months. John and Cyndi were there running the whole show at that time, and John's knowledge (he's a chemist) was very helpful. We had a wonderful experience, even though I didn't love the scent I created. I went in with a preconceived idea of what I wanted, which was a bad idea. Be open minded, listen to the explanations of the bases and scents, and you'll enjoy it.
