Reserve your seatAbout this experience
Prepare to experience the world through a completely different lens.
Set within the historic cobblestone streets of Casco Viejo, Panama's beautifully preserved Old Town, this experience unfolds inside The Alchemy — an intimate space steeped in colonial charm and centuries of story.
Join your two hosts for an intimate 90-minute journey into the art of scent. We'll guide you through a curated collection of rare and exotic oils — each one a story of origin, nature and healing — while you savour artisan truffles chosen to complement the aromatic experience.
This is a space where luxury meets wellness, ancient botanical wisdom meets modern indulgence, and every inhale opens something new. Some of these oils have been prized for centuries for their medicinal and spiritual properties.
Small by design. Powerful by experience.
