Perfumery Through the Ages

It’s not often a masterclass name-checks Marie Antoinette, Catherine de’ Medici, and Empress Joséphine but such is the depth of Lucy Borland’s perfume knowledge that this evening becomes a scented passage through time.

From the sacred apothecaries of Florence to the gilded halls of Versailles, from the courts of empresses to the rose fields of Grasse, Perfumery Through the Ages invites you into a world where fragrance isn’t worn it’s lived.

You’ll meet Acqua della Regina, crafted in 1533 for Catherine de’ Medici and still made today by Santa Maria Novella. Step into the shadow of Empress Joséphine, whose signature scents came from the house of Lubin. And discover how today’s modern masters like Aurélien Guichard of Matière Première honour this legacy by growing their own roses to distil fragrance at its purest.

Lucy Borland, our Perfume Sommelier, brings 30 years of expertise to this rare and intimate masterclass. She’ll guide you around the Michael Edwards Fragrance Wheel, share personal insights and help you discover the scent that tells your story.

Enjoy an elegant evening by the open fire, hosted in the beautiful Amelie & Franks event warehouse. The experience includes champagne, Polperro Winery catered canapés, and an exclusive 15% event discount on all 100ml+ fragrance purchases. Guests will also receive a beautifully curated sample gift bag to continue the experience at home.

This is more than a masterclass. It’s a love letter to perfume told through centuries, queens, empresses, and artisans.
