In addition to a regular perfume orders, customers may request a spritzer or a mix of two different-color perfumes. If they wait too long for an order, customers leave the shop. Players must reach their daily monetary goal to advance to the next level. To maximize earnings potential, players have the opportunity to mix ingredients after completing a level. At this time, players also may purchase additional quantities of perfumes. Hidden-object games add ingredients and other features to Sophia's perfume business.

Using their mouse, players move the mouse around the screen to find spots that they can click on to obtain hints and information. After finding the ingredients for the "Primary Recipe" and making the potion, players then work to find the ingredients for the "Special Recipe." Once players make the latter potion, they search the rooms for the "Secret Recipe," for which they need to find the ingredients and make the potion. Players may exit the laboratory after completing all tasks.

Containing eight perfume oils, a finishing solution and flacons, the perfume kit also contains tools such as atomizers, cotton pads, dropper pipettes, a funnel, measuring cups and stirrers. Players learn how their nose and brain work together in regard to smell perception, and then play games with scents to train their nose. After perusing the accompanying booklet that discusses the biology and science of fragrances, as well as the history of fragrances and perfume-design theories, players concoct their own perfumes. Players' family and friends may sample the perfumes and choose their favorite scents.
