Welcome to V Note, a fragrance atelier and experiential perfumery studio based in Toronto. Our goal is to offer a thoughtful, creative, and intimate environment for exploring scent.

These Terms are here to set clear expectations, protect the studio and our guests, and ensure that everyone enjoys the experience fully. By booking a session, attending a workshop, purchasing a product, or using our website, you agree to the following.

1. About V Note

V Note (also known as Fifth Note) operates as an in person fragrance studio and workshop space in Toronto, Canada.

  • Workshop participants must be 16 years of age or older.
  • Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
  • Valid ID may be requested.

3. Bookings and Payments

A booking is confirmed once payment is completed and a confirmation email is sent.

Please ensure your contact information is accurate. V Note is not responsible for missed confirmations or reminders due to incorrect details provided at checkout.

Bookings are for the named guest only and may not be resold or transferred without approval.

By completing a booking, you acknowledge and agree to our no refund, no show, and rescheduling policies as outlined in these Terms.

4. Rescheduling, Cancellations and Attendance

  • You may reschedule your booking up to 48 hours before your scheduled session.

How to Reschedule

To reschedule, email atelier@vnote.ca using the same email address used at checkout and include:

  • The booking name
  • The booking date and time
  • Your preferred new date(s) and time(s)

Rescheduling requests are only considered valid once you receive written confirmation from V Note.

Requests sent via social media messages, comments, or unofficial channels are not considered rescheduling requests.

Late Arrivals and No Shows

Because sessions are timed, guided, and shared with other guests, late arrivals disrupt the experience and cannot always be accommodated.

  • Guests arriving more than 10 minutes late may not be admitted.
  • Arrivals of 15 minutes or more are considered a no show.
  • No shows and late arrivals forfeit the full session fee.


Failure to attend or late arrival constitutes full delivery of the reserved service time.

By completing a booking, you waive the right to dispute charges through your payment provider for missed sessions, late arrivals, or no shows.

5. Safety, Allergies and Personal Responsibility

Our sessions involve fragrance oils, alcohol, glassware, and concentrated aromatic materials.

By attending, you acknowledge that:

  • You participate at your own risk
  • You are responsible for knowing and managing your own allergies or sensitivities
  • Guests are expected to disclose any known sensitivities or allergies before participating
  • V Note is not responsible for allergic reactions, skin irritation, respiratory discomfort, or damage to clothing or personal belongings.

Guests must follow all staff instructions. Unsafe or disruptive behavior may result in removal from the session without refund.

6. Studio Conduct

To maintain a calm and welcoming environment:

  • Guests must behave respectfully toward staff, other participants, and the space
  • Intoxicated or impaired guests will not be admitted
  • V Note reserves the right to refuse service or remove guests for safety or conduct concerns.
