Discover the Isle of Man’s best spots with guided tours, hands-on workshops, and tickets to local events
Perfume Making at Soaral is a chance to blend, bottle and take home your very own signature fragrance on the Isle of Man. Step away from the everyday and spend a few fragrant, mindful hours in the welcoming studio of one of the island’s talented local perfume makers — a hands-on, sensory experience that’s perfect for visitors seeking something a little different, and for locals looking for a creative day out.
Guided by a friendly expert host, you’ll learn the art of fragrance composition — how to balance top, heart and base notes — while exploring a palette of scents inspired by the natural world, from zesty citrus and delicate Manx florals to warm spices and earthy woods. Once you’ve found your favourite combination, you’ll mix and bottle your own signature perfume spray to take home: choose the Beautiful 30ml Perfume (£55) or the Marvellous 100ml Perfume (£85).
The session is relaxed and sociable, with complimentary refreshments served throughout, making Perfume Making at Soaral ideal for couples, friends, families or solo guests — and when your bottle eventually runs low, the studio can remake your custom scent so you can enjoy it again. It’s a memorable way to spend an afternoon on the Isle of Man, whether as part of a longer visit or a dedicated day out.
