About Press Gurwitz Perfumerie
Press Gurwitz Perfumerie is a unique boutique that offers a curated collection of 15 unisex perfumes, an aroma bar, and the art of perfume-making. Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of natural essences and learn about the history and practice of perfume creation through engaging masterclasses and workshops. The store provides a beautiful, impeccably decorated setting that invites exploration and discovery. One of the highlights is the opportunity to create bespoke perfumes. During the workshops, guests are guided by knowledgeable staff who explain the science and art behind blending scents. Participants start by smelling different fragrances, narrowing down their favorites, and then adding ingredients like vanilla, amber, musk, or tobacco to craft a personalized scent. The process involves careful mixing and testing, with staff offering suggestions to achieve the perfect balance. Each custom perfume is bottled with a label and a name, and clients are advised to wait a week for the scent to fully develop before testing again. The experience is highly praised for its personal touch, the expertise of the staff, and the beautiful shop environment. Visitors have described it as one of the most memorable and special experiences in the area, with many returning for additional sessions or to purchase more fragrances. The passion and professionalism of the team, especially the owner, create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit meaningful. Whether for a fun activity, a romantic date, or a thoughtful gift, Press Gurwitz Perfumerie offers a truly special journey into the world of perfume.

Victor did an amazing job mixing and matching a fragrance he had made for me a year earlier. My own personal scent. I couldn't be happier. My experience at Press Gurwitz Perfumerie was extraordinary.

I was having a bad day when I visited this perfumery and Victor really turned it around. As a fragrance fanatic who visits niche perfumeries on a weekly basis, I can honestly say these are the real deal and absolutely worth the trip. Thank you!! I've been wearing them every day and am excited to get more on my next trip.

The scents offered here at Press Gurwitz, are fantastic. Specifically No. 3. Tobacco Vanilla Cinnamon, the deodorant and body wash mix together perfectly, and leave a great fall scent. I can't thank Victor enough for this gift. Will be ordering again.
