Experimental Perfume Club
The Experimental Perfume Club, founded by Emmanuelle Moeglin, is a functioning lab in London's Covent Garden, on 53 Monmouth Street. The club offers a range of services for perfume enthusiasts and individuals looking to learn about the art of perfume creation.
The club has a boutique that is open for drop-ins every day. It offers laboratory-based and online perfumery workshops and courses. Visitors can experience a unique perfume-making workshop and access perfumery ingredients and equipment. They can also drop in for a blending consultation or explore the club's collection of niche fragrances, which can be worn individually or blended to create a personalised perfume.
The Experimental Perfume Club also offers monthly workshops, private one-on-one consultations, and group bookings. During the Covid pandemic, the club paused its day-long group workshops, but these are expected to resume. The club offers one-to-one appointments for a fragrance deep dive, either 'Le Petit Parfum' or 'Sur Mesure'. The appointments cost between £250 and £600, including a 50ml fragrance. The club stores the unique formulae of all the fragrances created, so they can be re-ordered as refills.
The Experimental Perfume Club also prioritises sustainability. It minimises plastic and packaging, and offers an innovative refill station that allows full-size bottles to be refilled at a discounted price.
