Perfumer's Apprentice & Flavor Apprentice — Local services in Scotts Valley

Overall an awesome spot.

Went in for the smelling experience, and Julia was very helpful.

Not all the ingredients were in the room at the time, but Julia promptly retrieved them from the back for me to smell, and allowed me an extra couple minutes in the smell room to compensate for my time spent searching for the missing sample.

But I could spend all day in that room! haha

I recommend creating a "to-smell" list to prior to arrival so you can be concise with your searching, as it is timed and you can get lost like a kid in a candy store otherwise.

Complimentary snack and coffee as well.

Also thanks to Travis for delivering me my goods, and Lindsey for prepping my order.

Only took an hour (maybe less) from time of order to me picking up my supplies.

If you are in the area, I recommend checking it...

Do not order if you have a P.O. box. They have on their website that if you have a P.O. box to not select UPS shipping. Turns out UPS is the only expeditor they use so there is no other option. The lady in accounts receivable sent us an email highlighting their confusing policy. We can read, thanks. In an attempt to try TFA/TPA as a new vendor (which cost almost twice as much) this experience has reinforced our relationship with our current brands who's flavors are not considered hazmat. We will not be shopping around again anytime soon. 3 stars for decent communication via email and getting refund...

I love the perfumers apprentice and the flavors apprentice! I've been a customer for many years and I recently got my order yesterday when I found out they had my number 1 favorite aroma in stock! That just meant I had to grab a couple more things while I was at it. They always are fast and in the years I've used them i have never had anything wrong with an order ever. My only complaint is really with google because I can't give them anymore than 5 stars but if I could I would. Thank you and always a pleasure doing business and you have a lifelong customer in me. Keep up the wonderful...
