Blend top, middle and base notes in a hands-on Tijon workshop just off Marion Square. In two hours you’ll learn scent structure and walk away with a custom 55 ml bottle created by you.
You step into a bright Charleston storefront a block from Marion Square and the air shifts — not with salt or marsh grass, but with concentrated drops of jasmine, vetiver, and bergamot. Tijon’s Fragrance 101 feels like a small laboratory and salon at once: glass vials line shelves, a perfumer’s scale waits on the counter, and the instructor walks you through top, middle and base notes as if teaching a language.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step into a bright Charleston storefront a block from Marion Square and the air shifts — not with salt or marsh grass, but with concentrated drops of jasmine, vetiver, and bergamot. Tijon’s Fragrance 101 feels like a small laboratory and salon at once: glass vials line shelves, a perfumer’s scale waits on the counter, and the instructor walks you through top, middle and base notes as if teaching a language.
The Tijon brand began on the French side of St. Maarten and brought its hands-on fragrance craft to Charleston’s historic shopping district. The class sits comfortably in Lowcountry culture — a mix of European influence and Southern hospitality — while the room’s hardwood floors and bright windows recall downtown Charleston’s 18th- and 19th-century commercial architecture.
You’ll learn the basic chemistry of scent: volatility, longevity and how oils layer. Expect to test dozens of accords, record blends in a perfuming workbook, and refine a formula you’ll receive in a 55 ml bottle at the end. The experience is tactile and sensory-driven rather than academic, suited to curious beginners and scent-savvy travelers alike.
Practical notes: the workshop runs roughly two hours, accommodates up to a dozen guests, and is wheelchair accessible. Arrive on an empty palate — avoid heavy colognes and strong-smelling foods before class — and plan for public-transport or short parking walks in the historic district. Bring a notebook, wear comfortable shoes for standing, and leave room in your bag for a protected bottle. For those looking to take Charleston home in scent form, this workshop is a direct, hands-on way to do it.
