What a cute hidden gem in Alpharetta! Some girlfriends and I booked one of the perfume making classes and absolutely loved it. Such a unique experience - definitely recommend for a girls day out! Walked away with a beautiful new custom perfume and having learned a lot. The shop itself is also really cute and has a really unique way of showcasing perfume by type.
I love this place!! It's a new concept for us and the experience is entrancing the modern style of the place is beautiful and comfortable. They helped us to find the right perfumes. The best part is that you can buy the small samples before you compromise with the big bottle.
My daughter loved her surprise sweet sixteen fragrance experience at Indiehouse! We all loved making our own fragrances and learning about the art of fragrances! The owner and employees are very knowledgeable and friendly. They also have a variety of unique fragrances to purchase. You won't be disappointed!
Just did the blending bar with some of my friends. Such an amazing experience! The staff was so incredibly sweet and helpful. It was quick and easy and I made a fragrance that I have worn everyday since I did it!! Overall, the experience was amazing and I cant wait to come back!!!
I attended a Fragrance workshop and oh my gosh. It was seriously THE BEST and most interesting workshop I ve ever attended in my life. I learned so much from Carrie, the sweet owner, about the art of perfuming. I got to make my own bottle of perfume and I am SO proud of it!! The best thing is that it s saved at the shop so when I run out of my signature fragrance I can go back and get more! I absolutely love this shop!
I love this place! Had a great time making my own perfume. Carrie, the owner, is super knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely be back!
I cannot say enough good things about INDIEhouse modern fragrance bar it fills a hole in the marketplace I didn t even know I needed!
Not only do they have an amazing collection of seasonally-appropriate fragrances (switched out twice a year!) from boutique labels that don t fill their products with a bunch of chemicals and allergens, they also help customers craft their own custom scents. At any time, you can wander into INDIEhouse and buy or create a bespoke scent from their vast array of fragrance oils. But they also host fragrance-crafting workshops that are super fun for groups.
My friends and I easily booked spaces online in advance for a Sunday fragrance workshop. We arrived prior to the 12 PM start time and were warmly greeted by the staff. They showed us around the beautiful store and got us settled in for the workshop in a separate, brightly-lit room. The workshop space is set up for about 10-12 people to participate at any one time, but because they are operating at reduced capacity and a few people did not show up (rude), we had the space to ourselves for most of the time.
The workshop itself is comprised of a 30-minute interactive presentation about the history of fragrances followed by hands-on fragrance crafting. The event had a great flow, and we weren t rushed at any point in the process. The staff outlined an easy-to-follow approach to identify the scents we liked and then test them together to craft a personal scent. When I was happy with the formula, they blended it together in a lovely bottle, labeled it with the name I chose for my scent and packaged it up in a cute, cloth bag. It s an adorable (and useful) keepsake. They also stored my formula details in the system so I can purchase a refill of my scent in the future.
I worried I d be overwhelmed by scents and unable to articulate what I liked and what I didn t. But the staff (owner Carrie and extremely patient employee Christy) were so kind in helping me along the way. My friends and I had an amazing time at INDIEhouse and learned a lot about fragrances to guide our choices in the future.
Helpful tips:
If you make a reservation, show up on time. The fragrance workshop is a group event, and you will miss out on key parts of the experience if you are late or you will be disruptive to everyone else who arrived on time.
You can bring drinks and snacks we brought mimosas to up the basic-factor but be kind and don t bring strong-smelling snacks or anything that will be distracting to others.
There s plenty of on-street and off-street parking outside of the store. It s located in the Alpharetta City Center, and there are tons of walkable stores and restaurants nearby.
With rigorous cleaning and air filtration, INDIEhouse is currently mask-optional. I felt comfortable spending time in the store sans mask to best exerience the fragrance-making process.
My friends and I had such a great time together making fragrances at INDIEhouse. It s great for bridal showers, date nights or a fun activity on rainy day. I will definitely be back!
All I can say is WOW!!! This is a must stop if you are in the Alpharetta area. I highly recommend stopping by and checking her out.
The owner Carrie is so charming! The store is super inviting and just makes you feel good all around. Her knowledge and enthusiasm is intoxicating.
This is a great way to get together and learn something new.
I love doing the painting parties... but I have no more space in my garage to hang them!!
Please go visit my new friend and help support our local female owned businesses!!
Recently did a "make your own fragrance" workshop through INDIEOUSE modern fragrance bar. It was the best time. Relaxing. Creative. Social. A far different way to come into finding what your favorite scents are, plus you get to create a personalized fragrance. I had so much fun, I created three scents to have on file - walked away with my favorite scent. Can't wait to come back and do more workshops!
Loved it! Beautiful store and knowledgeable staff. Left with with a fragrance both my husband and I loved!
