Nashville Perfume Making Experience | Story Fragrance Library

Nashville’s Most Memorable Perfume Making Experience

A Hands-On Perfume-Making Experience

Story Fragrance Library is an independent perfumery based in Nashville, Tennessee, offering a true, hands-on perfume-making experience for those who want to create fragrance at its most personal level.

Guests build their custom perfume drop by drop, guided through the art of fragrance composition using professional materials. This is an immersive experience designed for exploration, curiosity, and creativity — ideal for fragrance enthusiasts and those eager to discover scents they may have never encountered before.

Create Your Fragrance — Drop by Drop

At Story Fragrance Library, you are not assembling a pre-set formula or choosing from limited blends.
You are creating a fragrance from the ground up, one measured drop at a time.

During your experience, you will:

• Explore a wide range of fragrance notes, from familiar to unexpected

• Learn how individual notes interact and evolve

• Build and refine your scent gradually, adjusting balance and depth

• Develop an understanding of fragrance structure and composition

This process allows your perfume to unfold organically — guided by instinct, memory, and discovery — resulting in a scent that is uniquely yours.

A Professional Perfumery Environment

This experience takes place in a working perfumery, not a DIY studio.

We use professional fragrance materials and techniques, and guide each guest with care and precision. The focus is on quality, balance, and wearability — ensuring your final fragrance is not only personal, but beautifully composed.

The atmosphere is calm, intentional, and welcoming, allowing space for creativity without pressure or rush.

Thoughtful Ingredients, No Unnecessary Fillers

Many mass-market perfumes are heavily diluted and may contain 50–80% water, along with stabilizers and preservatives designed for large-scale production.

Our approach is different.

By formulating fragrances in small batches without unnecessary fillers, guests are able to create perfumes with:

• Greater depth and longevity

• Cleaner scent profiles

• A truer expression of individual notes

The result is a fragrance that feels distinct, intentional, and personal.

What You Receive

Each perfume-making experience includes:

• A fully custom fragrance you created yourself, drop by drop

• A 4-ounce bottle of your finished perfume

• Optional engraved bottles for personalization

• Your formula retained for future adjustments or reorders

Your fragrance can evolve over time — just as your taste does.

Who This Experience Is For

This experience is especially well suited for:

• Fragrance enthusiasts and collectors

• Those curious about the art and science of perfumery

• Individuals seeking a true signature scent

• Anyone wanting a deeper understanding of fragrance creation

No prior fragrance knowledge is required — curiosity and openness are all you need.
