I was running behind schedule, called the business and they let me know that they would wait to start class upon my arrival and urged me to drive safely! I arrived, found a parking spot in a nearby paid parking lot as the parking along the street was crowded! My date and I found the business and were greeted kindly by the host, Ms. Anne, who gave us a detailed introduction as well as helped to curate our experience by showing us the collage of notes/accords available for selection/ formulation and let my classmates and I sample the aromas to our liking! We each chose an apron, one accord that is basically a scent profile of what you want to smell and then we sampled and chose a combo of top, middle and base notes to add to our "scent profile!" We were able to write down our notes, dispense the appropriate amount into beakers via medicine droppers and submitted the sample volume to our instructor who made some calculations, we did the work and finished with a 30mL bottle of what we crafted as our "perfection!" It was a riveting experience to say the least! I wish that there was more time available to sample the notes as well as more space available to work in so that participants aren't bundled up almost on top of one another. A bigger work space, gloves, IPA wipes, sensory reset items, a menu of available notes/accords to assist participants with scent selection would be more efficient that being presented blindly! It would reduce the overwhelming decision of selection under a timed duration! I paid $100/person for the experience with a $25 discount which went towards gas & parking for the evening! This was our 1st but definitely not my last time enjoying the privilege of organoleptic exploration! I look forward to visiting the Charlotte location soon as well as a few contenders in NC who have peaked my interest thus far. Kudos on the experience!

I booked the signature scent session to do with my mom for Mother’s Day weekend and we had an amazing time!! The owner Nia was super friendly and helpful, and the session itself was informative, hands-on, and fun with a ton of scent options available. Plus the studio is beautiful and the vibes during our session were great. My mom and I both absolutely love the fragrances we made and are very excited to wear them! A sublimely cool and memorable experience, I’d highly recommend checking this place out :)

I received this class as a wedding gift and it was soo much fun! I'm very picky when it comes to fragrance and I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of scents that they had available, including just about all of my favorites! There were plenty of masc smelling ones too, really something for everyone. The class was a good pace too, I never felt rushed. I definitely plan on coming back with my fiance and friends!

Note & Accord is such a wonderful addition to Durham! I attended a fragrance layering workshop there for a girls' night out and it was absolutely the right call. Nia, the owner, led the evening with such warmth. She shared the story behind her business, walked us through the art of blending, and guided everyone through the process with intention. She had great instincts for which scents to pair together, and kept things moving beautifully so the timing never felt rushed. I left with a custom shea body lotion and oil that I'm obsessed with, and I'm already looking forward to going back to explore more.

Absolutely amazing! The smells are beautiful and layer so well. Traditionally you do events like this and the smell wavers. Not this time, I smell delicious for HOURS!
It was a great time for me and my besties. Our instructor was kind and we even came back to make more just because of her kind personality and the air was too good to not smell again!
If I had any constructive feedback at all, I’d encourage putting a seal inside the bottle so the oils don’t seep. But that’s truly it!
10/10 absolutely recommend!
