Perfumer for a Day Workshop with Patrizio Santocchi
May 22, 2026
From: 2:30 to 4:30 PM
Participants explore the art of fragrance creation in a hands-on workshop led by Italian perfumer Patrizio Santocchi at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden in Miami Beach. Perfumer for a Day Workshop with Patrizio Santocchi takes place Sunday, May 22.
During the session, Santocchi guides attendees through the fundamentals of perfumery, introducing aromatic ingredients and the principles behind balanced fragrance composition. Participants will smell and evaluate a range of raw materials, building an “olfactive memory” that helps identify scent notes and personal preferences.
The workshop culminates with participants blending their own custom perfume or cologne using essential oils, natural isolates and other materials provided during the class. Santocchi, co-founder of Monteleone Miami, is known for connecting scent and flavor through handcrafted fragrances and artisanal gelato experiences. The small-group workshop includes all materials needed to create and take home a personalized fragrance.
