You step off 11th Avenue into The Gulch’s busy storefronts and the smell of roasted coffee and street vendors gives way to a cleaner, more deliberate scent inside Tijon’s compact studio. Light filters through large windows onto rows of glass vials; the instructor hands you a perfuming workbook and twelve premixed blends that will be the scaffolding for a fragrance you’ll take home.

You step off 11th Avenue into The Gulch’s busy storefronts and the smell of roasted coffee and street vendors gives way to a cleaner, more deliberate scent inside Tijon’s compact studio. Light filters through large windows onto rows of glass vials; the instructor hands you a perfuming workbook and twelve premixed blends that will be the scaffolding for a fragrance you’ll take home.
Tijon began on the French side of St. Martin and brought its hands-on, island-rooted approach to urban settings like Nashville. The Gulch itself is a reclaimed railway and industrial pocket of the city—gritty rails reworked into polished retail blocks above the limestone soils of the Nashville Basin. That history shows in exposed brick, a street mural or two, and a neighborhood culture that blends food, music, and craft goods.
In the 90-minute Mix & Match class you’ll choose a base blend, then sample from roughly 300 oils to layer florals, woods, spices, and citrus until you’ve built a balanced 55-ml bottle. Scents dare you to pair unlikely notes; instructors focus on structure—top, heart, base—so your creation lasts and evolves on the skin.
Practicalities: the shop is wheelchair accessible and centrally located beside The Turnip Truck; public transit options exist and mobile tickets are accepted. Arrive scent-neutral; avoid heavy cologne the day of class. You’ll leave with an atomizer, a full bottle, workbook, and a certificate—plus a new skill set for small-batch scent-making.
The class runs about 90 minutes and includes hands-on blending, a workbook, and a 55-ml bottle to take home.
The experience is suitable for teens accompanied by adults; check age restrictions when booking as space is limited to small groups.
Tijon offers many natural and synthetic ingredients; if you have sensitivities, notify the studio in advance so they can recommend options and avoid specific allergens.
The studio is in The Gulch shopping district on 11th Avenue, in the same building as The Turnip Truck; arrival instructions are provided on your booking confirmation.
