Groningen · Intimate Perfumery Workshop
from the Greek οσμή, meaning scent
A three-hour sensory journey into the art of fragrance.
Smell. Discover. Create. Leave with a perfume that is entirely yours.
What is Osmi Lab
Osmi Lab is an intimate perfumery workshop held at home in Groningen. In small groups of up to four, you will explore the building blocks of fragrance: smelling raw materials, identifying accords, and understanding what draws you instinctively toward certain scents.
By the end of the session, you will have created and named your own 10ml perfume. Not from a template. Not a pre-made blend. A formula built around what you love.
The Journey
A short illustrated lesson on the history of perfumery and the main fragrance families. Presented with visuals and stories from the world of fine fragrance. The foundation before the nose takes over.
Smell and categorize 21 raw fragrance materials. Associate scents with colors. Identify mystery accords. A glimpse at how professional perfumers write their formulas. Each participant uses a dedicated tablet running a custom-built app designed for Osmi Lab — making the experience fully digital, interactive, and deeply immersive.
A personal formula built around a chosen base and everything your nose discovered along the way. A 10ml bottle of something original leaves with you at the end of the session.
The Digital Experience
Each participant receives a dedicated tablet running an app designed exclusively for Osmi Lab — guiding them through every stage of the session, recording their choices, and delivering their personal formula at the end.
Practical Details
What You Take Home
At the end of the workshop you receive a 10ml bottle of your own creation, formulated during the session, labeled with the name you chose, and accompanied by a full breakdown of every ingredient and its percentage. Your formula. Your story.
About Osmi Lab
Osmi Lab was born from a fascination with how fragrance works, not just chemically, but emotionally. Each workshop is a small, unhurried gathering where curiosity is the only requirement. No perfumery background needed. Just an open nose and a willingness to be surprised.
Based in Groningen, Netherlands. Workshops held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Follow the journey on Instagram.
