    I decided to celebrate my daughter's birthday with a workshop, learning to make perfume. We chose the platinum package. I can actually advise any package, as Daniela is an amazing hostess, making you feel welcome and taken care of, doesn't matter how long you decide to visit. My kids couldn't stop bubbling about the interesting history of perfume. Facts they never knew before, but they listened intently as our hostess shared her love for fragrances. The best part for us is the change to do this as a family together. Strongly recommend you visit this museum, and if you have time, do a workshop. It's the most unique attraction in Cape Town.

    If you are a perfume lover so for sure you will find your way to this special amazing place, my experience was incomparable. it was a gift for my Bday from my lovely Fiance that was on 15 Sep Friday i had to arrive at 9 a.m which earlier one hour for the lovely lady Daniela which welcomed me very nicely although i was the only one so when she knew that i got her work shop as a gift she made it much more special, if you are knowledgeable person who like to know more about such staff then i am sure you will enjoy it. I had the platinum package but it ends up with more gifts for free from Daniela also instead of spending with her 2 hours and a half we spend 4 hours and she did not charge anything extra after all i love my perfume and my cream. Go and try it. The women who do not wear perfume, do not have future💙

    The most amazing, feel beautiful, awesome experience, a must do. I have visited the museum and attended Daniela's workshop on another occasion. From her hosting, to her knowledge of perfumes, the history there of, the displays, beautiful antique bottles and priceless collection, I can only say that the whole experience was incomparable! Daniela's organized workshops, her patience with regards to questions when you are making your own, is just unbelievable... It was an awesome experience to walk out of there with your own signature perfume ... 5 stars to you Daniela!! Thank you for a most amazing experience ... till next time ... and I will be back!! ... more perfume .. soon!

    What a treat. Received it as present from my hubby. First you visit the charming perfume museum with unbelievable display of vintage and antique perfume bottles and get lost reading the fascinating history about the art of perfume during the ages. I had the Platinum Package and creating my first signature perfume was the most enjoyable and unforgettable experience in my life. The hostess is very pleasant and knowledgeable and she gets out of her way to make sure you feel very important and pampered. Thank you Daniela

    The perfume museum is a great place to experience the historic significance of the perfume through the ages. You can see such a beautiful and extensive collection of antique and rare perfume bottles and learn about the history of the perfume as well. Perfume workshop is truly one of the most enjoyable and exciting experiencewe ever had. Thank you Dimo and Daniela

    This was an amazing and really fun experience! Where else can a person design their own perfume and take it home haha. The perfume museum was well housed with ancient and rare bottles, some even from Roman times. It was a pleasure to look around and take it all in - this is the only place in the country that specializes in such perfume history. The workshop was a blast - we created our own unique perfume!! It was great fun! Special thanks to the host - Daniela, who was really knowledgeable and friendly. What a lovely evening :-)
