Top Groningen Art Classes

Truly a fantastic workshop on perfume, the ingredients it contains, and how to develop your own perfume by combining scents (and fragrance ingredients). Super interesting, and the time flies by. The workshop has a great structure; you receive a lot of information and get to experiment yourself. Due to the way the workshop is conducted, you experience a sense of calm and excellent guidance from Ananias. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to know more about perfume. The workshop is conducted in English.

For Mother's Day I did this workshop together with my mother. We can definitely recommend this workshop! Ananias is very friendly and passionate in the world of perfume. That's very nice to see! He takes all the time for you in all the steps of the workshop. The layout of the workshop was also correct and time flew by. The workshop is in english (which me and my mom aren't very good at), but we didn't notice much of a language barrier (because of the calmness that was there) and everything was clear and clear. Also very nice to be able to take your own creation home. My mom and I look back on a very nice day!

If you are visiting or living in Groningen, I would 100% recommend experiencing this workshop! It was super inspiring, informative, and fun!! Ananias is a great storyteller who was able to share his knowledge in the world of perfumery. You go home with a unique, self-created perfume, the best!!! Thank you!!

10/10, amazing experience. Ananias made me and my mother feel very welcome and the vibe was really relaxed, learned ALOT of information about perfume history, making and science behind it. Made my own perfume with help and tips from Ananias and it smells really good.Def recommend.

Was a great workshop! Ananias knows a lot about the profession and knows how to convey it well. It is a super fun and educational activity where you also get your homemade air home. All in all, this is well worth the price. I recommend this to everyone, especially as a fun date.

We had a very nice experience with Ananias' workshop. We felt very welcome and Ananias does everything to give you a nice experience. It started with some history about the origin of perfume and then we learned about the build-up of scents and eventually made our own perfume. Ananias’ enthusiasm about his passion for perfume is a lot of fun to do.

It was amazing! Ananias welcomed us with open arms. First we received information on the history of parfums and some basic key information. Then we could start smelling all the different notes. After all we could both create our own parfums. It’s such an amazing experience to create your own unique smell which you love the most but sad at the same time bc you will never be able to find the exact same anywhere else.I would 100% recommend doing a workshop with Ananias! He has such great knowledge and love for exploring and creating with parfums. His enthusiasm and passion for parfumery makes the experience so personal.

Was a fun, educational and fun workshop, very interesting, and given in a fun way! We are one experience richer, and bringing our own perfume home is also very nice!

I took part in this perfume experience and I really enjoyed it. I have done similar experiences in other European cities, and I can confidently say that this one comes closest to my idea of what a truly complete perfume experience should be. The journey is very well structured: it starts with an introduction and a historical overview, then moves on to recognizing different scents, and finally reaches the highlight of the experience—the creation of the perfume itself.The person leading the workshop is not just a passionate enthusiast, but someone who has clearly studied the subject and demonstrates real knowledge and professionalism throughout. The location is central, welcoming, and pleasant, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.I would definitely recommend this experience. It is also a great activity to consider doing with friends, as sharing it together makes it even more special.

It was a really great experience. I hadn’t used perfume for a long time because I didn’t know where to start or what kind of scents I actually liked. During the session, in a very didactic and entertaining way, I learned about the origins of perfumery and some of the main accords used in fragrance formulas.It was quite a challenge to smell, classify, and understand what each accord evoked for me, but through that process I was finally able to identify which notes suit me best and even create my own perfume.It was also very enjoyable to hear the opinions of the other participants and share impressions; that exchange made the experience even richer. It truly sparked my curiosity and made me want to keep exploring this world.It’s clear that Ananias really knows his craft—his knowledge and passion come through, and time just flew by. Highly recommended.

Yesterday I attended a perfume workshop with my son and what a great experience that was. The workshop teacher was extremely skilled and told visibly from passion and love for his profession. In a clear and accessible way, he gave a wonderful insight into the complexity of the structure of a perfume – from the different notes to how everything comes together into a whole.What I particularly appreciated was the combination of professionalism and personal attention. He was clear, calm and pleasant in his communication, leaving room for questions and his own experience. You noticed from everything that he not only has a lot of knowledge, but also likes to share it.An inspiring, educational and connecting experience to do together. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to know more about perfume and the story behind it.

At first we didn't know what to expect. We comb (unexpectedly) in a homely environment. Nevertheless, that didn't make the experience any less fun. Ananias has explained a few things about the effect of perfume and taken us completely into this. Super interesting here was freedom to ask for anything and you notice that Ananias has gained a lot of knowledge about the perfume world. Then we started to recognize scents and perfume accords, after which we put together our own perfume. There was the space to ask what you want and Ananias takes extensive time for you.All in all a super fun and interesting experience. After this you walk into the perfumery in a different way!Advice to enter into this experience with 2 to 3 people. Perfect if you want to try something different with your partner! Highly recommend it!

It was an amazing, very interesting and we learned a lot. It was very well organized. We really liked it! Really recommended if you want to do a nice exotic adventure.

I recently attended this perfumery workshop and it was such a beautiful experience from beginning to end. The atmosphere was calm, elegant, and so thoughtfully put together — the kind of setting that immediately makes you want to slow down and pay attention to every detail.What I loved most was how inviting the whole process felt. We got to smell and explore different raw ingredients, learn where they come from, and understand how they’re used in real fragrances. The explanations were clear and interesting, never overwhelming, and there was plenty of time to ask questions, experiment, and just enjoy the moment.I left with a completely new appreciation for perfume — not just as something we wear, but as a form of art and storytelling. It was a genuinely inspiring, sensory experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves scent, creativity, or simply wants to do something a little different and meaningful.

We wanted to try something unique so we came across this experience. We were greeted very nicely. We got an introduction about Parfumes and the history. Afterwards we could smell some base elements.After we've build a solid base for some scents we could create our own Parfume.We got a Base smell and then could add whatever we want (note that we always could get help and ask for recommendations).It was super nice and I would recommend everyone to try this experience!
