We’ve created a unique sanctuary dedicated to the art of natural perfumery. In this space, we create bespoke perfumes for our clients and teach workshops to small groups where participants craft their own Eau de Parfum, blending creativity, passion, and personal style.
With each new fragrance, our scent library continues to expand. Workshop participants have the unique opportunity to explore past creations, share feedback, and collaborate on refining formulas. You can improve your own blend, contribute to enhancing someone else’s, or draw inspiration from others’ work—it’s like an open-source approach to natural perfumery. Together, we can accelerate the creative process, turning what is traditionally a slow craft into a dynamic, fast-paced collaboration. With so many minds working together, I believe we can create truly remarkable masterpieces in no time.

We spent an amazing afternoon with Victor who clearly has a passion for perfume. It was a group of four 18-20 year olds who are very into fragrance. Spent about four hours at his store in Marathon and were transported to France! They learned about the chemistry and building blocks of fragrance, sampling scents then compiling a bespoke custom scent. They got to do all of the measuring themselves with Victor’s guidance. They left with a decent sized vial of their creation. Victor will keep their custom fragrances on file and if they wish to tweak it at a later date they can. I highly recommend this experience!

I just experienced my 1st Syracuse Night Market on Nov. 30th with my friend Nikki and enjoyed a wonderful time Victor Rakovich who was very knowledgeable and professional with the perfume oil notes that I ended up buying 3 perfume sprays at a reasonable cost. My favorite #15 the Iris was invigorating, #4 the Bergamot was exhilarating, and #12 the Green Tea was exactly as he mentioned " to wear on a summery day " this scent is refreshing and clean smelling. You can't go wrong with any of notes as there all inviting to the nose with scents beyond any other! Thank you Victor, I will definitely be shopping with you again on your website and to your shop in Marathon, NY for another exciting shopping adventure! 😊

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Press Gurwitz Perfumerie, and my experience was nothing short of enchanting. From the moment I stepped into the elegantly appointed shop, I was captivated by the sophisticated ambiance that perfectly mirrored the aesthetic of Press Gurwitz. What truly sets Press Gurwitz apart is the exceptional knowledge and warm hospitality of Victor, the owner. His passion for fragrances is palpable, and he graciously guided me through the exquisite collection. Victor's insights into the scents and the stories behind them added a personal touch to the entire experience. The shop itself exudes an air of elegance that harmoniously complements the luxury of the products. Each perfume is a masterpiece, encapsulating a world of emotions within its distinct notes. I've been particularly enchanted by Press №3, a fragrance that I now consider my signature scent. Press №3 is a symphony of aromas with notes of tobacco, cinnamon, and vanilla. The combination is nothing short of mesmerizing – smoky, cozy, and spicy. The fragrance seamlessly weaves together the warmth of Madagascan vanilla, the richness of fine tobacco, and the heat of cinnamon. It's like being enveloped in a gentle yet masculine embrace, leaving a lasting impression that is both elegant and timeless. Wearing Press №3 is a sensory delight, and I consistently receive compliments whenever I don this fragrance. The scent lingers, leaving an indelible mark that is both sophisticated and memorable. It's a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that define Press Gurwitz Perfumerie. In conclusion, my visit to Press Gurwitz Perfumerie was an olfactory journey of unparalleled luxury and refinement. Victor's expertise, the elegant surroundings, and the exquisite fragrances make it an experience I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a truly exceptional perfume.
