Are you looking for a fun, immersive way to learn more about natural perfumery and create your own signature scent with friends? Try our foundational perfume workshop! You will leave with your very own bespoke fine fragrance.

What You'll Learn

Embark on a sensory journey into the art and science of natural perfumery. In this foundational workshop, you'll explore the rich evolution of natural perfumery through history while discovering our extensive library of natural scents. Learn to navigate the complex world of olfactory families and note classifications, understanding how different extraction methods shape and influence a scent's character. Delve into the architecture of fragrance as you master the interplay of top, middle, and base notes in perfume composition. Journey across civilizations to understand the cultural significance of scent, while exploring the fascinating science of olfaction and sensory perception. Discover how individual skin chemistry influences fragrance development and learn about the mysterious quality of sillage - the scented trail a perfume leaves in its wake. Throughout the workshop, you'll experience guided sampling sessions featuring signature natural ingredients from our carefully curated library, bringing theory to life through direct sensory experience. By the end of the class, you'll apply your newfound knowledge to create your own signature fragrance, taking home a 15ml bottle of your unique botanical perfume.
