Select materials from the Bios scent library. Our perfumers can work exclusively with your choices, refining their proportions, or introduce complementary notes at your invitation. You can also begin with a brief: describe a memory or an atmosphere for us to interpret in scent. We blend your first edition perfume by hand in our New York formulary, in your choice of oil or alcohol. For oils, dried flowers and semiprecious crystals are complimentary. We ship your fragrance and send you a copy of your registered formula, so you can reorder your perfume or enjoy your signature scent in other products.
VISIT THE PERFUME BAR
Create and register your signature scent at either of our two New York City studios. Draw from the Bios scent library, a collection of more than 130 natural, plant-derived aromatic materials. Sample individual notes, explore how they unfold in combination, and compose your fragrance drop by drop. Name your finished perfume and register your unique formula with Bios. Your personal scent profile lets you reorder the original fragrance or enjoy your signature scent in other products. Visit on your own, bring a friend or a date, or reserve together as a group. Sessions often fill, and reservations are highly recommended.
CREATE AT HOME
Compose a fine fragrance at home using a perfume kit. Choose your bottle size, then select a palette of 8 to 24 raw aromatic materials from the Bios scent library. Use the perfumery tools provided to measure and blend them in proportions that reflect your own taste. Name your creation and register its formula in the Create portal to establish your personal scent profile. Once registered, you can reorder your perfume or enjoy that same signature scent in other products.
BOOK A WORKSHOP
Study the art of natural perfumery at our New York City studios. In the two-hour Foundational Workshop, you’ll explore the Bios scent library, learn how top, middle, and base notes unfold, and compose your first formula. Our three-and-a-half-hour Advanced Masterclass takes that practice further as you develop an accord, compare variations, and refine your composition from its opening to its dry down. In both formats, a Bios perfumer guides you as you create a signature fragrance to take home.
ACTIVATE YOUR EVENT
Bring the Bios Scent Library to your venue for a multisensory immersion. At our Traveling Perfume Bar, guests can stop in throughout a reception to sample aromatic materials and compose a signature fragrance to take home. For seated workshops, each guest works with an individual perfume kit as our perfumers guide them through sampling the materials, comparing notes, and blending their own fragrance. Our full branding and design capabilities let us tailor the scent palette, kit packaging, bottle labels, and bar presentation to your vision, whether for a brand launch, corporate gathering, hospitality event, wedding, or private celebration.
