Tijon Perfumes & Boutique (2024)
“Handcraft your very own scent inspired by the Caribbean. This unique experience is the #1 Tripadvisor land activity. This place is scentsational!”
Tijon is located in Grand Case and has a very charming boutique store where you can purchase the entire Tijon line of products, from massage oils, and body-creams to perfumes. The store carries a hand-picked selection of local souvenirs, beach bags, hand-made jewelry, and their unique French Caribbean scents.
Tijon is famous on St. Maarten | St. Martin and abroad for its Island hand-made perfumes; choose from the many unique scents or try their best-sellers 2.0 or La Savane perfume.
Even better than buying, Tijon Perfumes offers unique perfume creation sessions in which you get to make your very own scent.
Their perfume classes are the #1 rated land-activity!
This is an unusual island activity; choose from a 90-minute course or a two to a three-hour advanced learning experience. Every session offers a fascinating perfume history and guidance to developing your fragrance.
Blend and select from over 300 oils to find the scent that is uniquely you. Both men and women will enjoy the interactive experience of bottling SXM-inspired scents and memories.
Each participant will receive a bottle of their creation and a Tijon VIP gift bag. The staff is a highlight of these sessions; they are passionate about the Island and the perfume-making process.
It is a must-do activity while on the Island and worth every penny.
Don’t forget to mention “We Are! SXM” for a free sample. Book here, and you pay the same, but all $ stays on the island compared to booking via Viator or Tripadvisor.

We just visited Tijon Perfumes & Boutique. We did the perfume creation tour and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We learned a lot about perfume and perfume making and created three perfumes of our own before choosing one to have bottled to take with us.
I took my dearly beloved wife here for her Valentine's present this year. The experience was wonderful. There was quite a variety of perfumes. We loved every moment of being there!
I appreciate, again, your excellent service and your excellent product. I just wanted to thank you for your beautiful perfumes and fantastic customer service. Will continue to visit!
It was an unplanned visit of me and my friends at Tijon Perfumes & Boutique. It is a very welcoming shop, the staff is very friendly and the scent is something I love. There is a great variety of goods to purchase, with an excellent price range. I will surely continue to visit!
Such a fun and unique experience. From the guidebooks to the place and the service, everything is top class!
You get to smell as many different scents you like before experimenting and mixing them up. Eventually after testing the countless combinations you’ll find some favorites and get to try which one fits most on your body. Everyone in our class created such a unique scent that in a way fitted their appearance and personality more than anything.
And let’s be honest, when you’re out and people ask: “Wow you smell nice, which perfume are you wearing?” It is just very cool and makes you feel proud to say: “Aah thank you so much, I made it myself at Tijon 😊”.
The regular class takes 1,5 hours and the time literally flies by, when you have the time go for the 2/3 hour course!
The price is $95,- for the regular class and $130,- for the longer class. Overall you get a lot of value for this, way more then I expected! Next to a superb class and 60ml of your unique scent you enjoy an additional gift bag with a Tijon scent, soap, lip balm and a last gift you get to choose. So it's almost similar as buying a nice perfume, yet you get to make it yourself 😉
Thank you John and the team for being really friendly and extremely helpfull. A recommendation for everyone that likes to try something different while visiting SXM!
