Tijon New Orleans

Date of visit: December 22, 2024This was a purchase for a friend who is a perfume fanatic. She did something very similar in Berlin and was excited to do so again, this time stateside. Overall she enjoyed the experience, but it just didn't have the same Wow Factor that the German experience had.You can purchase the class via Viator, which made payment and booking very easy, and the class did start right on time, but there were almost too many choices that made it harder to select the right notes, she felt. The class size is small, around eight people, which allowed for a nice mix of people without being too large and unwieldy.Also nice was the gift shop at the front of the location, featuring local art and jewelry; I scored a cool bracelet that I will give to my husband for Valentine's Day!

I visited this place for my birthday after seeing someone do a review on it on TikTok and it did not disappoint. I absolutely loved being able to make my own fragrance and customize it to my specifications. I came for my birthday and we had a champagne toast at the end! I can't think of the name of the person that was helping me, he's a very nice young man with a great personality. Actually everybody there was great. While I was there I also bought some fragrances that are specific to this location and they will also be getting a location soon in Houston. If you are in New Orleans and love fragrance you must jump on this opportunity to make your own fragrance. They even keep your information so that you can reorder your fragrance once it gets low! It's located in the heart of the French quarter and I would suggest that you get a Uber do not try to drive to this location because parking is absolutely horrible.

So fun! I've been into perfumes lately so when we got to schedule a bachelorette party stop at Tijon, I was stoked. The maid of honor scheduled our perfume making class online ahead of time and it was about $115-$120 per person after tip. With the package, you get the class + a bottle of your perfume to take home + a goodie bag with more souvenirs.Checking into the class was super easy, and the class itself wasn't huge in size with less than 20 people total. Their staff was super helpful and walked us through each step. We also got a lot of informational material about perfumes, the history, and the different smells you could combine. After we learned a walkthrough about the process, they let us go through each step at our own pace. All of their instructions were super easy to follow and the instructors were available whenever we had questions.If you're not familiar with perfumes, I would definitely take some time to figure out what kind of smells you like on you ahead of time. There are SO MANY choices here! I was honestly a bit overwhelmed and lost with what would be a good fit. Something I ran into a lot was... "I like this smell.. but probably on a candle and not on me to wear." So definitely think about what kind of smells YOU want to smell like. Not just smells you like in general.You get to make 3 different scents and then you choose your favorite one to bottle up. You can also purchase the other scents for an additional fee if you can't decide. Of course, they also sell their own perfume in-store so you can browse around to get some inspo. I wish I would've explored that more so I could've taken other perfumes home too! Unfortunately, we had to head to our next reservation so we ran out of time.At the end, you can name your fragrance and they'll take down your information in case you'd like to purchase it again and again in the future. Then, you'll all toast with a celebratory champagne (or a non-alcoholic version).All in all, such a fun experience for all types of events or groups!

My experience at Tijon was amazing! Me being a person who loves cologne, I enjoyed being able to create my own fragrance. The atmosphere was chill and everyone was excited about their respective fragrances which created a positive atmosphere. Both of the instructors were very down to earth and extremely knowledgeable about the different notes that were being used. For anyone who's been thinking about attending, please do! I give Tijon a 10/10!

10/10 highly recommend! Took my dgtr and her friend for a little back to school experience and they really enjoyed it. It's so hard to impress teenagers. It's quite pricey but worth every bit. My highlight was getting to name my perfume and also getting a glass of champagne. The staff was all so personable and a wealth of knowledge. We can't wait to return, maybe a family bonding experience in the future. Job well done.

I had viewed so many wonderful reviews (reels) about Tijon on Instagram. While I was in New Orleans I wanted to try it out . First of all this was an awesome experience learning about the various scents and perfume history. In addition the staff (2 females and 1 male ) were great instructors. Everything was set up so well and easy to follow. All participants received a lab coat when blending/creating our own unique perfume. A certificate and your own signature perfume bottle was given to each participant. What is amazing there are like over 300 scents to choose from when creating your own signature scent . If you love perfume like I do . This is a must !!! Tijon does not disappoint.

We had a wonderful afternoon learning about perfume then creating our own unique blends. Lab coats were provided and detailed instructions. All our questions were really answered. The finished perfumes were celebrated with a glass of champagne (or non-alcoholic alternative).

What a wonderful untraditional experience I had in New Orleans. I'm a girl who loves perfume and I was given the chance to make my own perfume at Tijon. The entire experience was unique and exciting. The staff was very informative and helpful when it came to creating my signature scent. I learned about the history of perfume and the ins and outs on how to make perfume. I am now a perfume maker and I couldn't be prouder. If you are in New Orleans and looking for something to do in between drinking and eating I highly revived checking out Tijon for a one of a kind experience. I get so many compliments when I wear my signature perfume "Sweet Nola".

If you're like me when on vacation, I try to find things out of the norm to do.While visiting New Orleans I decided to try something different than the usual touristy activities. I decided to check out @tijonneworleans. I know they are fairly new to the area and this would give me the opportunity to try something different. I signed up for the 90 minute class.... I highly recommend this experience. I created my own signature scent and had a good time learning about perfume and cologne making. So if you're in the Big Easy check out Tijon.

Lots of fun!Unique experience!They do have other items like jewelry, tote bags etc. & other perfumes for sale Helpful, cheerful staff!
