Trip Details:
Join us for a day in Charleston! We will be venturing into the world of scents at Palmetto Scent Studio in the morning where you will sit at the fragrance bar and create a unique custom-scent, to then make into a variety of items. You will have the choice of making either a candle, reed diffuser, body cream and roll on perfume or sugar scrub and hand soap. The class will last about an hour and a half to two hours. After our class, the afternoon will be yours to enjoy lunch and the shops in the French Quarter of Downtown Charleston.
We will depart for J. Bryan Floyd Community Center at 4:00 pm and should arrive by 6:30 pm. We do our best to stick to the schedule, but sometimes driving conditions may cause us to arrive back at the community center later than planned. Please plan accordingly.
