Your Trip to Switzerland

Your adventure to Switzerland will bring you to some of the most naturally beautiful sceneries in Europe. Start off on the banks of Lake Zürich before venturing into the foothills of the Alps around Lucerne, where you can spend time exploring this charming Swiss town and hiking along the mountain paths. Spend a night near Lake Interlaken to admire the pure and crystal-clear water. Finally, visit Zermatt at the foot of the majestic Matterhorn, and gape at the 4,000m peaks that surround you.

Day 7: Time in Geneva

🍶
09:00 - Perfume Masterclass

This masterclass will take place in the hotel.

In cooperation with DAENA, the Geneva-based agency specializing in the creation of exceptional perfumes, we invite you to a unique immersive and educational experience in the world of fragrances.

Their approach recognizes perfume as a highly emotional and subjective product, offering a profound human exploration where emotions, individual preferences, and personal creativity intermingle. At the heart of this experience, an exclusive and intimate olfactory workshop is offered. This mini-workshop has been designed to introduce participants to the subtleties of perfume creation. Allow yourself to be transported into an olfactory escape and embark on a journey to discover the finest fragrant materials from the perfumer’s organ and the major olfactory families, at the core of olfaction and perfumed creation.

The workshops begin with the presentation and selection of raw materials, crucial elements of any fragrance. You will exercise your sense of smell in a blind test, discovering the scenset and extraction methods of both natural and synthetic raw materials. Participants then explore the different olfactory families, learning how they interlock and function together, and become acquainted with the olfactory pyramid, a structured representation of fragrance notes and their evolution over time. This experience offers participants a unique opportunity to understand not only the technical aspects of perfumery but also how fragrances can evoke and influence emotions and memories. It is a fascinating sensory journey. To extend the experience, you will leave with a bottle of perfume created from your own blend.
